2. Double click on a waveform log partition with the left mouse
button.
3. Select a file type for your file.
4. Select the maximum number of records to be recorded in the file.
The number of records in the waveform log file needed to store
one waveform event (series) is defined as follows:
Number of Records per Series = Sampling Rate (Samples per Cycle) x Number of
Cycles per Event / 512
The total number of records you must allocate to store the required
number of events (series) is defined as follows:
Number of Records = Number of Records per Series x Number of Series
For example, if you want to record a 64-cycle waveform sampled
at a rate of 32 samples per cycle, the number of records required
for one waveform series would be:
Number of Records per Series = (32 x 64)/512 = 4.
If you want to allocate space sufficient to store 20 waveform
events (series), you should set up the waveform log file for 4 x 20
= 80 records.
5. Click OK, and send your setup to the device or save to the
database.
6. Click “Setup Recorder”, or click on the “Waveform Recorder” tab.
The following table lists available waveform options.
Option Range Description
Samples per Cycle 32, 64, 128 samples/cycle Defines the sampling rate for the
waveform log
Cycles per Series 16-10848 (32 samples/cycle),
8-5424 (64 samples/cycle),
4-2712 (128 samples/cycle) Defines the total duration of the
waveform recording per event/series
Before Cycles 1-20 Defines the number of cycles to be
recorded prior to the event
Num. of Channels 1-26 The number of the simultaneously
recorded channels
7. Select the sampling rate for waveforms.
8. Select the number of cycles to be recorded prior to the event, and
a total number of cycles in the waveform.
9. Add the name for your waveform log file in the “Name” box. It will
appear in the waveform reports.
