Controller Software 36
Station Builder
A station design application that allows you to allocate controller resources, such
as valve drivers, conditioners, digital inputs, and so forth, to station configuration
files. You define parameters for the resources in the station configuration with the
Station Manager application. This application is password protected.
Station Manager
A sophisticated controller application whose primary function is to maintain
station servocontrol while allowing you to perform typical test operations, such
as:
• Creating parameter sets that define and optimize the operational
characteristics, such as sensor ranges and conditioner gains, of the station
resources in your station configuration files
• Monitoring the various analog and digital signals sent to and from your
controller
• Monitoring station interlocks and controlling hydraulic or
electromechanical station power
• Managing tests with run, hold, and stop controls
Basic TestWare
A test design application that allows you to create monotonic and cyclic tests and
to acquire data.
Station Desktop
Organizer
A software utility that allows you to manage the windows and displays
associated with Series 793 Software. This utility is useful for reducing screen
clutter when you work with multiple stations simultaneously.
Hwi File Editor
A software utility that allows you to create and edit hardware interface (.hwi)
files. Hwi files are text files that define the internal components—or resources—
available to MTS Series 793 Controllers. Resource examples include
conditioners, valve drivers, digital inputs, and so forth. The text description of a
resource in an .hwi file includes proximity information, such as the location of
the slot in the chassis in which the resource is installed, and the rear-panel
connectors through which it can be accessed.
Controller
Management Tool
A software utility that allows you to perform a variety of maintenance activities
on FlexTest SE Controllers, including updating the executable software stored on
the controller flash-disk, installing and backing up user files, and assigning
various controller attributes, such as regional settings, passwords, and multi
controller setup.
Note The Controller Management Tool pertains to FlexTest SEs only.
