Description Item
Selects the control mode associated with the selected
station channel. By default, for each file channel the Control Mode
application selects the first available control mode
that supports the unit specified in the file for the
channel. This defines the dimension of the signal. By
default, the units for the selected control mode signal
will be the calibrated units defined in Station
Manager. However, when the application parses the
requested drive file header, if the application finds
that the channel unit descriptor matches one of the
units available for that dimension, the application will
select those units.
Selects the units associated with the selected file
channel. Channel Unit
Use the Test Action list to assign a Station Manager
action or action group to each time trigger in the Actions
sequence. When MPE runs a Time History Output
activity and trips a time trigger, it initiates the action
sequence.
Note:
Default actions (Indicate, Station Power Off,
Interlock, Program Interlock, Program Stop,
C-Stop Interlock, and Program Hold) are not
available. You must assign custom actions
(created with Station manager’s Event-Action
Editor) specifically created for the time triggers.
A typical custom action would be to set or clear
a digital output.
The activity optionally stores digitized response test
data in a response file. Click the Browse button to Response File
open the Select Response File window. Use the
window to select a current response file or save a
new response file, and specify the path.
Select a response file format from the drop-down
menu: Data Format
• Floating Point—The response file will be written
in floating point data format.
• Short Integer—The response file will be written in
short integer data format.
• Follow Output File—The response file format will
follow the drive time history file format.
