Start/Stop Triggers
: To set a Start/Stop trigger click the drop-down box and select from the options
provided. If a sensor is used as a start/stop trigger, you will need to define from which direction the trigger
is to be activated. This is where you will select the ‘greater than’ or ‘less than’ option. The option to use
Time of Day or Elapsed Time from the test initiation are also choices for use as a start/stop trigger.
*The example triggers below could be used for a test used to determine how quickly a car can begin a
braking test followed by accelerating to 15 MPH after the car comes to a full stop. This test will start when
the car experiences braking of -0.2 Gx from a higher Gx level
–
the test will stop when the car achieves a
speed greater than 15 MPH as approached from a slower speed.
Setting Alarms:
Setting alarms is like setting the Start/Stop
triggers. Click the drop-down box for Alarm 1
and select the sensor for which you want the
Alarm to be tied to. Then determine when the
Alarm should activate
–
either when the data
approaches from a lower data point (use
Greater Than
‘>’) or from a higher data point
(use
Less Than
‘<’). When the test is in
progress, each time an alarm is triggered, the data will include the event. Using the graphing tool, Alarm
events can be added to the graph. You can also change the color of the event marker lines.
