General[edit]
The Monitoring input channel setup window can be opened by opening a new or existing EUT file:
-

Then select the 'Monitoring input channels' panel. This window enables the end-user to configure the used AD-Converter during the test:
Settings[edit]
 Description
|
Enter the description of the device. E.g. use the brand and/or identification number. |
| Device
|
From the dropdown the used AD-Converter driver can be selected. |
| Channel
|
Based on the selected driver the amount of available channels are shown. In the past only eight channels were allowed. Older devices are still be limited to support a maximum of eight channels in this list, while their driver supports more channels. |
| Unit
|
Enter the unit corresponding to the values which will be retrieved from the device. |
Calculation[edit]
| None
|
RadiMation will not apply any additional calculations to the value the device driver is returning. |
| Offset
|
RadiMation will additionally apply the specified offset to the retrieved value by the device driver. Similar to the formula (offset+x). |
| Multiply
|
RadiMation will additionally apply the specified multiply factor to the retrieved value by the device driver. Similar to the formula (multiply factor*x). |
| AD input range
|
RadiMation will not apply any additional calculations to the value the device driver is returning. |
| Formula y(x)
|
RadiMation will additionally apply the specified formula to the retrieved value by the device driver. |
The formula is using the powerful Python engine for maximum flexibility.
You can find the math functions on: https://docs.python.org/2/library/math.html
The following example will multiply the AD value by 2. And add the (9^0.5)==(√9)==3
It is needed to match the expected value with the retrieved value by the device driver. Especially for older device driver it is needed to specify the allowed value range of the device. For instance:
Measure[edit]
This setting will determine when the measurement will be performed during the test.
| Before Dwell-time
|
RadiMation will perform the a measurement of the configured monitoring input device before the start of the dwell-time. |
| During Dwell-time
|
RadiMation will perform the a measurement of the configured monitoring input device during the dwell-time. |
| After Dwell-time
|
RadiMation will perform the a measurement of the configured monitoring input device after the dwell-time has ended. |
Range[edit]
| Enable Min Range
|
This will show a graph line of the specified minimum in the graph and table. |
| Enable Max Range
|
This will show a graph line of the specified maximum in the graph and table. |
