Figure 4-2: Arming a test shows the Sensor Plot screen
When a test is running, the Sensor Plot and Gage Plot visualizations are available. The Sensor
Plot allows viewing of the strain or temperature along all sensors, and the
“Gage Plot” allows
viewing strain or temperature measurements from select individual gage locations along all
sensors, over time.
View Test Data
Test data is logged in binary files that are stored in the Test Data folder on the controller. Test
data can be played back through the
“Play Back Test Data” function and can be converted to
human readable tab delimited .tsv files through the
“Generate Test Data TSV Files” function.
These TSV files can be opened in external programs such as Excel or Matlab for further data
analysis.
