Dear friends at EtherLab community,
Thank you for giving me another chance! This time I will not let you down!
I have been using TestManager in a real industrial hydraulics application for a
while now. I generally had good results with it, but now I wish to change my
sampling rate and also the accuracy of the data captured (I was using 1000 Hz @
2 accuracy which is too high). I have tried doing so but I see the following
observations about the options that I can set/choose:
a. the sampling rate cannot be any value I wish to choose for all channels. I
tried sampling @ 300, 450, 720 Hz and always TestManager rounds off my value to
a different one, a calculated one I see, so it must implement a formula I do
not
know about. I would like to sample @ 10 Hz in my application which I see it can
handle, but I do not know why an intermediate value for the sample rate is not
possible.
b. The data accuracy I choose is not "recorded" while using the Scope. I tried
inputting different values from 1 to 9 and then verifying the .txt files
generated by exporting the acquired data in a Matlab format. Most of the time I
get values with 16 digits after the "." in the number. Other times I get values
with only 2 decimal points. I see the files are a lot larger when having 16
digit accuracy than when I have 2 digit accuracy and I would like to have 4
accuracy, because space is an issue for me.
c. What is the effect of a high "Buffer Size/s" in the Data Transfer option
pane? I already know the effect of having it too small (the graphics of the
signals are limited), but I would like to know what is the drawback of having
it
too large? One thing I notice is the Data Rate going very high. What is an
optimal value for that to input?
My Data Rate I read here right now is 70-80 Kb/s @ 300 Hz. Does this have an
effect on the topics I've written so far?
I would like to thank you! For everything!
Kind regards,
Alex Marton
