Supposing you have not yet begun a measurement and the device is in its
Online and stopped
state (connected):
Starting the measurement
involves the following steps:
1.
Connection
: The software sets up a network connection.
2.
Preparation
: The settings for the measurement task are written to the device. Then the device is ready to
measure.
3.
Start
: Data capture is started. (Clicking on "Start" right away causes all three steps to be performed
immediately).
The device state indicated is now
Measurement active
. As long as the device is connected to the PC, data are
continuously transmitted to the PC via the communication network. This is absolutely necessary for the online display
but it makes heavy demands on the communication network's resources.
Clicking on
Disconnect
ends the link between the computer and the measurement device. This neither ends nor
disturbs data acquisition, since all measured data are saved to the internal removable hard disk.
The device setting indicated now is
Off-line, measurement active
. After disconnecting from the device, you can close
the
SICAM Q80 Manager
software and deactivate the PC. To resume work, restart the program and re-connect the
PC to the device. You can connect and disconnect as often as desired.
In order to
end the measurement
, it must be possible for the PC to reach the device via the network or modem
connection. Use the button
Stop
. All folders on the hard drive are closed. Alternatively, the measurement can be
ended by means of the
device list on the Topology page
. There, you can stop multiple devices at the same time.
To stop, you
don't
need to connect, which causes the procedure more quickly. When
connecting
with a measuring
device, the current configuration is imported and the current measured values are immediately transferred, while for
Stop
, only the stopping command is transferred.
Note
During active measurement and online monitoring, various pages of te
SICAM Q80 Manager
are disabled.
Changes to the settings only take effect the at the start of the next session.
