Starting the Recording
➢
Start the recording with the trigger option set with
DRT
.
Regardless of the trigger option set, the data recording is always triggered when a step
response measurement is started with
STE
(p. 194).
The data recording always takes place for all data recorder tables whose record option is not set
to 0. It ends when the data recorder tables are full.
7.2.3
Reading Recorded Data
INFORMATION
Reading the recorded data can take some time, depending on the number of data points.
The data can also be read while data is being recorded.
➢
Read out the last recorded data with the
DRR?
command (p. 148).
The data is output in the GCS array format (refer to the SM146E user manual).
➢
Query the number of points in the last recording with the
DRL?
command (p. 147).

Digital Output Signals
The digital outputs of the C-863.12 are available at the
I/O
socket (p. 266).
➢
Get the number of the output lines available on the C-863.12 with the
TIO?
command
(p. 198).
External devices can be triggered via the digital outputs of the C-863.12. Potential applications:
▪
Linking the trigger output to the motion of the axis. Details and examples can be found
in this section.
▪
Direct switching of output lines, e. g., in macros. Details and examples of macros can be
found in "Controller Macros" (p. 97).
