1.7.3 Virtual Multiplexers
A multiplexer is an instrument which enables the connection of multiple tools to an
application running on a PC. Virtual multiplexers within the
DataSure™
software are
intended to emulate the Starrett 761A and 761B. The emulated multiplexer systems can
accommodate up to 32 tool channels. It is possible to run the network service with a
maximum of five multiplexers configured at the same time.
If there are no multiplexers currently configured on the
DataSure™
Homepage, and a
new EndNode and tool is powered up in the presence of the wireless network, then a
Primary Multiplexer is automatically generated by the
DataSure™
software. The
Primary Multiplexer will be associated with the next available comm. port of the host PC.
As new tools are further added to the network, they will also automatically be added to
the next available channel in the Primary Multiplexer (or more precisely, to the
multiplexer located at the top of the
DataSure™
Homepage).
In order to create a new multiplexer, click on the ‘Multiplexer’ link in the site navigation
menu bar. Then from the sidebar click on ‘New Multiplexer’. In the Multiplexer Detail
page, enter a name and description for the new multiplexer. Check all desired tool
connections and assign them port numbers. Note: only tools that have been disconnected
from other multiplexers are available to be added; tools may not be associated with more
than one multiplexer. Next make all desired application associations. All configured
applications are available. Finally, from the sidebar click on ‘Save Changes’.
To edit a multiplexer, select one from the list on Multiplexers page. From the sidebar of
the Multiplexer Detail page, click on ‘Edit Multiplexer’. The name, description, tool
connections, port numbers, and associated applications are all valid options to change.
Note, de-selecting a connected tool makes it available to be added to a different, or new
multiplexer. After all desired changes have been made, from the sidebar click on ‘Save
Changes’.
1.7.4 External Application Setup
SPC software packages and other data collection applications can be directed to interface
with
DataSure™
multiplexers as if they were Starrett No.761 multiplexers.
In order to configure a new application, click on the ‘Applications’ link in the site
navigation menu bar. Then from the sidebar click on ‘New Application’. In the
Application Detail page, enter a name and description for the new application. The
executable file path may also be specified. Logging for the application can be
