The Configurable AD Convertor device driver is a AD Converter which is supported by RadiMation®.

Initialisation and Check[edit]

ScreenElementDescription.svg Reset The reset code that needs to be send to device. When left blank no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Init The command that is send to initialize the configured device. When left blank no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Get Id The command that is send to retrieve the ID of the device. This is used to check if the device is connected. A common used SCPI command is *IDN?. When left blank no command will be send.


Channels[edit]

AD convertors can have multiple channels on which AD values could be read. For each AD channel, different commands can be set.

Trigger and Reading[edit]

  1. A trigger command can be specified to request a measurement from the device.
  2. A regular expression can be set to parse 1 numeric value from the returned message of the device. The parsed number will be used in RadiMation
ScreenElementDescription.svg Trigger A trigger command can be specified to request a measurement from the device. A common used SCPI is *TRG. When left blank no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Read Back Different devices return different messages with measurement values. The configurable AD converter only need the numeric value of the measurement. There for, a regular expressions can be set in the Read Back.

A good regular expression for finding the first number in scientific notation in a text is:

([+-]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+([eE][+-]?[0-9]+)?)

For more possibilities see the example section


Minimum and maximum value[edit]

Minimum and maximum can be set to limit the measured value. And to calculate the measured value to a specific unit.

ScreenElementDescription.svg Minimum value The lowest value that can be measured with this device. The value must be the same as filled in the EUT window.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Maximum value The highest value that can be measured with this device. The value must be the same as filled in the EUT window.
