About Detectors
Detectors monitor various input signals and can perform specific actions when user-defined limits are exceeded.
Detector settings (limits and actions) for a particular test are typically saved in a parameter set.
For example, you might set up a limit detector to shut down a test if the displacement signal exceeds your
test limits.
Note:
In addition to the Detector Settings, there are Test Limits set in Basic TestWare or other test applications.
Detector types
Limit detectors–monitor sensor feedback signals. If the sensor signal exceeds user-defined limit settings, the
controller can trigger a detector action.
Error detectors–monitor the difference between the command signal and the corresponding feedback signal.
If the error exceeds user-defined limits, the controller can trigger a detector action.
