Cyclic Acquisition Process
Data Acquisition Process Descriptions 314
Signals tab
Selects signals from which this process acquires data. Use the left and right
arrows to move desired signals from the Available list to the Included list.
Note The order of the signals in the Included list determines the order of the
columns of data in your data file. Use the up and down arrows to arrange
signals in the desired order.
List Filter
With the List Filter, you can pare the list of Available signals according to text
you type in the entry box. Type text that describes the signal(s) you wish to
display.
For example, typing force displays all signals that include “force” in their labels.
You can also type a part of a signal description to display a signal type. For
example, to display displacement signals, you can type disp rather than
“displacement”.
Destination tab
Peak/Valley Signal Selects the signal the process monitors for peak and valley levels.
Peak/Valley Sensitivity Defines how much the signal must change before a level is considered a peak
or valley.

Buffer Size Specifies the maximum number of data elements the buffer will store before
data is written to the disk.
Data Header Includes a label that describes the data on each buffer that is written to a file.
Destination Specifies where data is saved:
Specimen data file—the process writes buffers of data to the MPT
specimen.dat file in the Specimen.
User-specified data file—the process writes buffers of data to a separate data
file in the Specimen (yourname.dat).
Discard data—the process will not write data to the Specimen.
User Data File Specifies the name of the file where data is saved. This lets you create separate
data files in the MPT specimen. This control is enabled only when you have
selected User-specified data file in the Destination list above.
