PLAYBACK
The name of the playback file, the
record level, and the sample rate
for that file are entered here. There
are also buttons for exporting and
importing waveform data. For
details on importing and exporting
waveform data, refer to the
How
to import and export Field Data
Replicator waveforms
section in
the Help File.
SCHEDULE
The time duration of the test is
entered here. The test schedule is
also used to schedule durations
where the output signal is scaled to
different amplitudes.
PARAMETERS
The feedback control parameters are entered here. In most cases the
default values will be sufficient. Refer to the
How to tune Field Data
Replicator I/O unit parameters
section of the Help File for more
information on how to tune the parameters specifically for your system.
LIMITS
The abort limits for the test are entered here. The control (Ch1) abort limit
applies to the control signal, measured using the accelerometer connected
to channel 1. The Output Drive limits are also entered here.
