4.6 Uploading Test Data
Uploading test data transfers all or selected test runs resident in the data file stored in
the eDAQ
lite to a user-specified PC disk file. Upload complete SIE or SIF files after
stopping a test run. When using SIE data, partial files are available for upload during
a test run.
After transferring the file to the support PC, use InField or other data analysis software
to view and analyze the test data.
4.6.1 Uploading SIE Data Files
From the eDAQ lite
To upload SIE data from the RAM disk or PC Card storage in the eDAQ
lite
, select
Upload Test Data from the Test Control menu or toolbar. Upload SIE test data at any
time, including during a test run when partial test data is available. Use some caution
when uploading during a test run as the upload task consumes some processing time
and can result in a DeviceOverFlow error reset if the eDAQ
lite
cannot keep up with
the processing requirements.
4.6.2 Uploading SIF Data Files
From the eDAQ lite
To upload SIF data from the RAM disk or PC Card storage in the eDAQ
lite
, select
Upload Test Data from the Test Control menu or toolbar. If using RAM disk storage,
TCE uploads the SIF file directly to the PC file. If the PC Card data storage option is
in use, the eDAQ
lite first consolidates the SIF data file from the RAM disk resident
component file and the set of PC Card resident component files. A test run cannot be
in progress to upload a SIF data file.
Upload SIF data after a test run or after ending a test. The upload option becomes
unavailable as soon as a new test is initialized, since the eDAQ
lite deletes the RAM
disk SIF component file upon initialization.
NOTE
If there is a communications failure between the PC and the eDAQ
lite
during an
upload of the files on the PC Card, TCE enters a loop of making repeated attempts to
re-establish communications so that the upload process can recover and continue.
This recovery scheme handles most types of communication failures such as power
Plot Mode Description
Normal When the plot reaches the end of the x-axis, TCE erases the display
and draws the next vertical bar at the beginning of the x-axis.
Scroll The vertical bars continuously scroll from left to right after the plot
reaches the end of the x-axis for the first time. The latest min and max
values are always at the end of the x-axis.
Mixed When the plot reaches the end of the x-axis, TCE moves the last half
of the display to the first half and resumes plotting from the middle of
the display.
