Using the ODiSI 6 Software 

This section describes in detail all the functionality of the ODiSI 6 Software. 

 

Operational Parameters 

When first  launched, the  user  interface  displays the  system  Status  and Sensor  Properties. 
Among other things, the 

“Sensor Properties” screen displays the current state of the system 

including information on the configuration of each channel and detailed information for each 
sensor. 

 

Figure 6-1: Main Sensor Properties screen

 

 

Instrument Status 

The  system  Status  is  indicated  in  the  top  left  corner.  The  status  displayed  is  one  of  the 
following: 

•

 

Initializing

: The software has just been launched and is connecting to and configuring 

the hardware. 

•

 

Ready

: The software is ready to start making measurements using the fiber sensors. 

•

 

Running Test

: The system is currently making measurements for a test. 

 

Operational Parameters 

 

Measurement Mode 

The  ODiSI  6  provides  three  different  Measurement  Mode  options  to  choose  from.  The 
Meas

urement Mode setting is accessed by clicking on the “Settings → General” menu item.
