The emulator will call this procedure when it stops. You may proceed in this
procedure to the cleanup needed to restore the system on the same state as
before the call of
Initialize
.
A complete but empty project, written for and using Microsoft Visual Studio
2010©, is available on the software distribution CD and in the folder C:\Program
Files\Metrolab\FDI 2056\MotorInterface of the FDI 2056. Once completed to fulfill
your motor driver requirements, the generated DLL
, named “MotorInterface.dll”
must be placed in the folder C:\Program Files\Metrolab\FDI 2056\ where the
default DLL, which was generated using this empty project, is placed.
4-4 POWER ON SEQUENCE
When powered on, the first operation performed by the FDI 2056 is an autotest
which takes several seconds.
Should one integrator channel fail, Status bytes 5 and 6 will indicate any error
conditions that raised this situation.
During the autotest the word "TEST" is displayed on the module. At the end of it,
the display will either show a gain of 10 with the channel identification letter ("A",
"B"
up to “I”) or, if an error has been detected, one of the following status
indicators will be displayed : "!CAL"
, “!MEM”, “!INP” or “!RNG”. Section 4-11-9
describes the corrective action that may eventually take place if such a situation
arises.
This autotest sequence will automatically follow when PDI 5025 emulation mode
is entered. During autotest, no communications may be established with the host.
Thus, any messages sent to the FDI 2056 will be ignored.
4-5 CHANNEL SELECTION
The FDI 2056 can be equipped with as many as nine channels (the standard unit
is equipped with a single channel). All channels are always triggered in parallel.
Measurements can be performed on an individual channel or on all channels
simultaneously. The
CHA
command selects the active channel or channels.
If issued on a unit equipped with a single channel, this command will generate a
Command Error (bit 5 of status 1 set to 1).
4-6 GAIN SELECTION
The gain of each channel can be independently set to any of the following values:
1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, 100
It is selected by the host computer with the
SGA
(
