Operating principle

The data extraction is performed by the MOVILINK® parameter adjustment service and the scope functionality of the devices, and is executed as follows:

Scope data

Once the configured interval has elapsed, the software checks the status of the device that has been configured for data extraction (e.g. whether the scope program is currently active) and loads the defined scope template to this device.

INFORMATION

If, during the device status check after the configured interval has elapsed, the software detects that the scope program in MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio is active, no data extraction will occur and the interval is restarted.

If the trigger that is configured in the scope template is activated and the scope buffer is filled, the data is extracted and saved according to the settings. Afterwards, the software loads the configured scope template to the device again, the scope recording is started and the interval is restarted.

INFORMATION

If a configured device is in automatic mode, the scope device status is checked every 10 minutes. If the scope program is deactivated (e.g. due to a system failure or similar), the software loads the configured scope template to the device and restarts the scope recording.

Device parameter data

For devices with scope function, the extraction of the device parameter data takes place after the scope recording is completed, meaning that after each scope extraction, an extraction of the configured device parameter data is carried out and saved in an additional JSON file. For devices without scope function, the extraction of device parameter data takes place immediately after the configured interval, and is also saved in an additional JSON file.

Device parameter file

It is also possible to store entire device parameter files for the purpose of data retention. The device parameter file of the respective device is stored together with the scope and device parameter data.
