In the function Mode program the variant Monitor : Mode:Monitor
Fail-safe mode:
Fail-safe mode is suitable where purely software-based scanning is used merely
to ensure in the event of computer failure that scanning continues on an internal
cyclic basis. In this mode the cycle programmed in the device must be larger
than that needed for software scanning (e.g. device cycle 20s, software cycle
10s). Software scanning keeps resetting the internal cycle with the effect that
this cycle is only actually used as and when software scanning fails; (here too
in Win-Control ´safe initialization´ must be deactivated).
The internal cycle is started with the start of the Win-Control software; it may
also have been started previously. Scanning by the internal cycle outputs no
data to the interface. To accept data the memory must have been activated.

Output format
The output format (see Manual 6.6.1) defines the print layout for measuring
point scans and for output of the memory. This output format can be pro-
grammed in the function
Output form
. There is the default format ´
List
´ in which
all measured values are listed one below the other; there is also the ´
Columns
´
format listing them next to one another; this provides a clear, easy-to-under-
stand, and space-saving printout. The
Table
format is suitable for further pro-
cessing using a spreadsheet program; (see print layouts, Manual 6.1).

12.5.8.4
Measuring rate, continuous measuring point scan
As and when necessary the measuring rate (conversion rate) for measuring
point scans can be raised in the
Measuring rate
function from 2.5 to 10 mops
(measuring operations per second) (see Manual 6.5).
Semi-continuous measuring point scan
The measuring rate for measuring points is by default
semi-continuous ; i.e. all
measuring points are continuously scanned but the selected measuring point is as-
signed preferred status and is rescanned every 2nd time. This ensures a constant
scanning rate (= half the measuring rate) irrespective of the number of measuring
channels; this is an advantage for analog output or measured value smoothing but
when averaging (M(n) it may lead to incorrect results.
Continuous measuring point scan
If continuous measuring point scanning is set, all active measuring channels
are scanned equally often at the chosen measuring rate and uninterruptedly one
