CARRYING OUT A MEASUREMENT PROGRAM
5.2.1
Typical measurement program
Before beginning a measurement program, the device must be programmed with the correct
measurement parameters.
Parameters can be set in several ways:
The device can be programmed with the help of the WINTRID software that offers a user-friendly
interface. As all measurement operations can be programmed in advance, the device can be
programed at the measurement site or elsewhere, for example close to the office PC.
In the case of a deferred start to the program, TRIDENT must be installed with all its connections
before the programmed start time in order avoid recording false events (notably interruptions).
TRIDENT can also be programed once installed, either with WINTRID, or with the use of its local
interface.
To help with the local interface, TRIDENT has in memory two Standard measurement programs
one of which can be installed at the start of a program. This avoids the need for full programming in
detail. These standard programs can be modified to suit the requirement with the help of the
WINTRID software.
Before starting the program, TRIDENT will ask for confirmation of the clamp outputs (voltage &
current) and dates of the start and end of the program.
A program can have a predefined end time or can be of indeterminate length.
Once the connections are in place, the instantaneous measurements can be verified to confirm the
correct connection of the device.
The measurement program starts as the internal clock reaches the programmed time, or if that time
is passed when the device is turned on.
The program continues :
either until the user sends a stop command by WINTRID, or by the local user-interface,
or until the chosen end of the program, if there is one.
In case of an interruption of the program (battery exhausted, M/A switch,...), the program restarts at
the re-supply.
The results summary of the measurement program can be obtained during the progress of the
program if TRIDENT is still connected to the PC. Otherwise at the end of the measurement
program TRIDENT is connected to the PC. The transfer begins automatically and the analysis is
then performed by WINTRID.
The main results of the program in progress can also be seen using the local interface.
