How to measure data from the EUT using the Configurable AD Convertor device driver[edit]
This Application Note explains how a configurable AD convertor can be used to monitor an EUT. With the AD convertor, any type of signal can be monitored and plotted within RadiMation during a test.
- First the AD convertor must be configured so values can be read within RadiMation.
- Second the value must be plotted using the correct unit types.
1 Configuring the AD convertor[edit]
1.1 Specify the communication type[edit]
First the communication type must be configured for the AD convertor.
1.2 Configure the initialization of the device[edit]
 Reset
|
The reset code that needs to be send to device. When left blank no command will be send. |
| Init
|
The Init code that needs to be send to device. When left blank no command will be send. |
| Get Id
|
The code that needs to be send to device to get the identification back. A common used SCPI command is *IDN?. When left blank no command will be send. |
1.3 Configure the data readout of the device[edit]
| 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. |
| Read Back
|
Different devices return different messages with measurement values. The configurable AD convertor only need the numeric value of the measurement message. 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.
| Minimum value
|
The lowest value that can be measured with this device. The value must be the same as filled in the EUT window. |
| Maximum value
|
The highest value that can be measured with this device. The value must be the same as filled in the EUT window. |
1.4 Examples[edit]
