Initiate
This button starts an acquisition or restarts an acquisition
in progress.
Stop
This button stops an acquisition.
On the left below the banner there is a graphic display of the data and the message window,
which are always visible. On the right there is a screen area which changes according to which
display option you select.
Data
: A numeric display of the data on each current measurement channel. Readback and
output settings for the general-purpose analog and digital lines and high voltage monitoring
(models with HV option only). Check boxes to allow you to suppress the graphic display of any
subset of the channels. The colour codes correspond to the colours of the traces of the strip chart
and scope mode graphics. Any channel which is highlighted in red is overrange. The Encoder
readout is a count of the edges detected on the gate input connector.
Data Analysis:
The F3200E can perform peak detection and fitting across the 32 input channels
using two different calculations. The calculations can be enabled and controlled on this screen.
Setup:
Controls to set the acquisition mode and triggering, current ranges and mapping of the
input signal to the analog monitor output, high voltage control, encoder pulse counting and
actuator controls.
Calibration:
Controls for the calibration process and display of the calibration parameters for
the four current ranges, the general purpose analog inputs and outputs and the high voltage
control and readback.
Properties:
Firmware version display and update controls, and IP address setting.
Real Time Processing:
Controls to perform complex control and acquisition functions
(application-specific options).
11.4 Graphic display
There are three ways of displaying incoming data in a graphical way. These can be selected
independently of the acquisition mode, although there are generally displays that are better suited
to particular modes. Any subset of the full thirty-two channels can be selected for display by
checking and unchecking the channels in the Data area.
11.4.1 Strip chart display
Data from the thirty-two channels, with the selected averaging, is plotted onto a rolling strip chart
as it is acquired. This display is well-suited to the Internal acquisition mode. The horizontal axis
is the time of acquisition and the vertical (y) axis is the current. You can select automatic or
fixed vertical scaling.
