Adding a library container

Name

Enter a name for the container.

The name is used in the tool configuration process and in the file structure when storing the JSON files.

Identifier (this is generated)

Unique identifier of the container that is generated automatically by the software and used internally for further processing. This identifier forms part of the name of the target directory on the associated endpoint.

Container description

Add optional description text. The description text is displayed under the "Containers" tab.

Container type

Select the container type.

For a parameter container, select the "Parameter" value. The relevant fields for the parameter container are then displayed in the dialog window.

Library information

Library version

Assign a version number to the library container.

Library date

Enter the creation date of the library container.

Component structure code

Assign the library container to a device type using the component structure code.

Analysis type

Specify the analysis method to be applied to the received data in the IoT Suite.

Entered parameters (NOTE: To save data, make sure that a parameter is not added to more than one container)

[+ Add one] button

Add one parameter for data recording.

[+ Add multiple] button

Add multiple parameters simultaneously for data recording.

Function in the [Import parameters from JSON file] submenu

Add parameters for data acquisition by importing a JSON or a CSV file exported from Excel, for example.

See also Parameters.

Function in the [Export parameters to JSON file] submenu

Export the currently created parameter list for data acquisition as a JSON file.

See also Parameters.

Function in the [Import parameters from library] submenu

Import parameters for data acquisition from a library container. Changes in the library container are not automatically applied to the container.

Scope configuration

[Import] button

Import a complete scope configuration from a MOVISUITE^® MES or an XML file or from a switched-on device. For further information, refer to chapter Scope configuration.

Sample rate

Specify the time interval between successive data samples.

Post-trigger recording

Specify the percentage of the available recording buffer that should be filled with pre-recorded samples when the scope is triggered.

Application index

Set the operating mode of the scope recorder.

• Default (0)
• Expert (1)

Memory optimization

Activate or deactivate optimization of memory usage.

Limitation of data points

Specify whether the number of data points should be limited.

If you select "No limit", the scope cache is written completely. If you select "Strict limit", the "Maximum number of measuring points" field and the [Calculator] tool are displayed and the scope cache is only partially written according to the specified number.

Maximum number of measuring points

INFORMATION: Only visible if the "Strict limit" option is selected for "Limit data points".

Specify the maximum number of measuring points. A "calculator" is available for calculating the optimum value for the recording time or the maximum number of data points.

[Calculator] button

INFORMATION: Only visible if the "Strict limit" option is selected for "Limit data points".

Calculate the optimum value for the recording time or the maximum number of data points. For further information, refer to chapter Calculator.

Recording time (estimate)

Generated estimate of the minimum recording time in milliseconds, in accordance with the configuration above.

Recording channels (NOTE: To save data, do not add a scope channel to more than one container)

[+ Add one] button

Open the "Channel" dialog window to configure and add a scope channel. In the "Channel" dialog window, set the scope channel by specifying the index, subindex, name, and channel offset, or by selecting an entry from the "Available channels" list. By activating the "Only supported" check box, only parameters that can be used as a channel for a scope recording are displayed in the "Available channels" list.

The added channels can then be re-sorted in the list of recording channels using the corresponding buttons.

Function in the [Import scope channels from JSON file] submenu

Add scope channels by importing a JSON file or a CSV file exported from Excel, for example.

Function in the [Export scope channels to JSON file] submenu

Export the currently created scope channels as a JSON file.

Function in the [Import channels from library] submenu

Import scope channels for data acquisition from a library container. Changes in the library container are automatically applied to the container.

Trigger settings

Delay mode for the trigger

Set the delay for a configured trigger.

• None
• Dead time
• SignalStretching
• PulseWidth

Delay time for the trigger

Set the delay for the configured trigger.

Activate trigger #1-#3

Activate the desired number of triggers and use the choice boxes that appear to specify the channel name and the trigger type. Decimal and hexadecimal values can also be entered in the "Compare value" edit box. Hexadecimal values require the prefix "0x".

Linking triggers

Connect multiple scope triggers to one another by using Boolean operators.

Metadata

Advanced information about the container

Displays the scope hash

[Calculate] button

Calculate the scope hash according to the settings made.
