Adding a template for scope containers

Name

Enter a name for the data container.

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

Identifier (ID)

Unique identifier of the data 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.

Data container description

Add optional description text. The description text is displayed on the "Data containers" tab.

Data collection

Template type

Select the template type.

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

Scope platform type

INFORMATION: Only available with "Generation B".

Select the scope recorder for the scope recording. The settings for the recording channels and the trigger are adjusted accordingly.

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

INFORMATION: Available in MOVI-C^® devices only.

Set the operating mode of the scope recorder.

• Default (0)
• Expert (1)

Memory optimization

INFORMATION: Available in MOVI-C^® devices only.

Activate or deactivate optimization of memory usage.

Limit of the number of data points

INFORMATION: Available in MOVI-C^® devices only.

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 Scope calculator.

Recording time (estimate)

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

Recording channels (INFORMATION: To save data, avoid assigning recording channels to several data containers.)

[+ Add one] button

INFORMATION: Available in MOVI-C^® devices only. Recording channels are added via the displayed drop-down lists for "Generation B" devices, and via the [+] button in the "Channel name" column for "MOVIAXIS^®-based scopes".

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 container template] submenu

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

Trigger settings (for MOVI-C^® devices)

Trigger delay mode

Set the mode for the delay of a configured trigger.

Trigger delay time

INFORMATION: Only available when a delay is enabled.

Set the delay time for the configured trigger in microseconds.

Enable triggers #1–#3

Enable channel triggers and use the selection boxes to specify the channel, trigger type, and threshold values.

Trigger conjunction

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

Trigger settings
(for "Generation B" devices and scope platform type "MOVIDRIVE^®-based scopes")

Terminal

Select the terminal to be used as the trigger signal.

Condition

Select a rising or falling edge of the signal as the trigger condition.

Enable channel trigger

Enable a channel trigger and use the choice boxes to specify the parameter name, trigger type, and threshold values.

Enable error trigger

Enable an error trigger and use the choice boxes to specify the error code and the sub error code.

Trigger settings
(for "Generation B" devices and scope platform type "MOVIAXIS^®-based scopes")

Enable analog trigger

Enable an analog trigger and enter the parameter name, trigger type, and threshold values via the choice boxes and, when the digital trigger is activated, specify whether analog and digital triggers are to be combined.

Enable digital trigger

Enable a digital trigger and use the choice boxes to specify the parameter name, trigger type and threshold values.

Enable error trigger

Enable an error trigger. A scope recording will be started as soon as an error occurs.

Metadata

Extended information for the data container. The following metadata will be transferred within the metadata section of the data event.
