MTS MultiPurpose TestWare® Data Acquisition Process Descriptions 275
When you run this test, the Peak/Valley Data Acquisition process will be
triggered by the Count Cycles.Buffer Full signal generated by the Level Crossing
Data Acquisition process every 100 cycles, and will acquire 10 points of peak/
valley data. The data will be stored to the file (in the Specimen) entered in the
User Data File box on the Destination tab of the Peak/Valley Data Acquisition
Parameters window.
Data Destination
You set how your acquired data is saved on the Destination tab. The options are:
• Specimen data file
Acquired data is written to the specimen.dat file saved in your MPT
specimen.
MPT specimens are located in your MPT Specimens folder (MPT >
Specimens > spec01, spec02, and so forth).
• User-specified data file
Acquired data is written to the data file you specify (filename.dat) in the
MPT specimen.
• Discard data
Acquired data is written to the buffer, but is not saved to disk. Typically, this
option is used to trigger another process when the current acquisition
process fills its buffer.
