3.2.2 Control and Settings tabs
The three Control and settings tabs are used to manage the different parts of the software. There are three tabs,
Acquisition , Configuration and View .
Acquisition Tab
The Acquisition tab allows the activation of pulse and recording sequences. Three Live , Record and Time Series but-
tons are used for activation and will not function if no channels are configured. This includes the saving of data accumu-
lated by these pulse sequences.
Figure 3.15: Acquisition Tab
1. The Live button (Fig. 3.15 ) activates all prepared channels. This mode does not automatically save data, keeping
only the most recent 700 000 data points in memory. This mode is not recommended for long or critical measure-
ment sequences.
2. The Record button (Fig. 3.15 ) activates all prepared channels while periodically saving recorded data to the disk.
This mode is recommended for long measurement sequences.
Figure 3.16: Time Series Acquisition Timing Diagram
3. The Time Series button (Fig. 3.15 ) opens the Time Series Window (Fig 3.17 ). This window allows the organisation
of timed activation using the following parameters. Each Time series sequence is automatically saved to the same
.csv file as defined in Saving Options .
• The Settings box contains the series settings.
– The Number of series defines the amount of times the series is repeated.
– The Time ON defines the duration of the series.
– The Interval Between Series defines the amount of time between each series, if the Number of series
is greater than 1.
– The Total Duration displays the total duration of all series.
• The Progression box includes the Progression bar , which indicates the progression of the series (in %), while
the Time Elapsed counter indicates the progression of the series.
