Master Channel Specifies the channel whose segment/cycle counter determines when data is
acquired.
Note Master Channel is not related to the signal used for level crossing or
peak/valley acquisition within the cycle.
Data Storage Pattern Specifies the pattern at which data is collected. The selections are:
• Logarithmic (1,2,5)—Pattern is: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000,
2000, 5000, and so forth, up to and including the maximum cycle stored.
• Logarithmic (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)—Pattern is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20,
30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900,
1000, and so forth, up to and including the maximum cycle stored.
• Linear—Pattern is: n, 2n, 3n, and so on. You set the n value with the
Linear Data Interval control. Example: If you choose 200 as the
interval, the pattern is 200, 400, 600, and so forth, up to and including the
maximum cycle stored.
• User Defined—Use the cycles you specify in the Store Data At list.
Relative Cycle or
Segment Counts Determines whether the cycle/segment count starts when this process starts or
when the procedure starts.
If you want the cycle/segment count to start when this process starts, select
Relative Cycle or Segment Counts.
If you want the cycle/segment count to start when the procedure starts, click to
clear Relative Cycle or Segment Counts.
Linear Data Interval Specifies the multiplier used to generate the data acquisition cycle or segment
sequence.
Note This control is available when you set the Data Storage Pattern to
Linear.
Example: If you choose 100 as the interval, the cycle sequence is 100, 200,
300, and so forth, up to and including the maximum cycle stored.
Maximum Cycle Stored Specifies the maximum cycle/segment count that data is collected on.
