Setting the Record Mode to
Non-Error
means that “zeros” will be written into
the Record Memory for the Patterns on that Sequence Step, effectively
clearing the memory.
The last two Step Record Modes effect the Counting and Logging of Errors.
Each of these modes will be described in the
section below.
Record Type
The Record Type is programmed on the Config>Data A/B Sequencer>Setting
Panel.
The relevant VXI
plug&play
API and ARI functions are:
•
API: tat964_setRecordParameter
•
ARI: AssignPtgRecordType
Figure 8-6: Setting the Record Type Using the Configure DSA Settings Panel
The two choices are:
•
Normal
•
Indexed
Setting the Record Type to
Normal
records into the Record Memory at the
same address which corresponds to the Data Pattern. Thus, when looping a
Step or repeating a Step at some later point during the Primary Sequence,
the data in the Record Memory will be over-written.
Setting the Record Type to
Indexed
recording means that data will be written
into the Record Memory consecutively. A Record Index memory keeps track
of how the data is written into the Memory so it can be reconstructed, i.e.,
which data belongs to each step and/or loop.
