the configuration sub program, where they can be stored and transferred to
the sensor.
5.4.3.1 Activate switch sim.
Enables the input elements for the switch limits and shows the two LEDs,
which indicate the state of the limit outputs F1 and F2.
5.4.3.2 Upper limit
All limits are displayed in mm. This limit is displayed in the plot graph as a red
line. All measurement values above this threshold are drawn red to indicate
a limit violation. This limit violation is also shown by the red color of the upper
LED. This LED indicates the state of the upper limit output.
5.4.3.3 Upper hysteresis
If the measurement value falls below this threshold, the upper LED is set to
green again. This threshold is displayed in orange.
5.4.3.4 Master value
Although this value is not used for the limit monitoring, but for calibration
purposes, it is placed here.
If this value (in the controller) is set to zero, then the controller’s
Zero
button
does the equivalent as the ‘S
et Zero’
button in this application does. This
value is displayed in the plot graph as blue line.
5.4.3.5 Lower hysteresis
If the measurement value rises above this threshold, the lower LED is set to
green. This threshold is displayed in orange.
5.4.3.6 Lower limit
If the measurement value falls below this limit the lower LED turns red. This
threshold is displayed in the plot graph as a red line.
5.4.4 Freeze Mode Navigation
This application continuously acquires data as long as the button ‘
Data
acquisition’
is checked. The last 60 seconds since the ‘
DAQ Start’
or ‘
Clear
Buffer
’ are stored in an internal buffer and can be examined any time.
5.4.4.1 Position
This scrollbar can be used to navigate through the internal data buffer.
5.4.4.2 Zoom +
Selects a smaller section of the x-axis; i.e. closes in on the data. Can be used
to minimize the number of values stored in a file.
5.4.4.3 Zoom –
The opposite of zoom+. Shows more measurement values at once.
5.4.4.4 Show All
Displays all values of the internal data buffer at once.
5.4.4.5 Freeze
As long as this button is unchecked, the display is in live mode, that is, the
currently acquired samples are charted on the plot display. If you check the
‘Freeze’ button, the application creates a copy of the internal data buffer.
This copy can be zoomed and scrolled through to take a closer look at the
measurement. To end the freeze mode uncheck the ‘Freeze’ button. That
action removes the copy of the data buffer and switches into live mode
again.
