Parameter Description
FDR Control buttons
Start FDR
Starts the selected FDR so it periodically captures FDR
data while the power supply output is enabled.
Stop FDR Stops the selected FDR so it does not periodically capture
FDR data.
Write Test Data Writes a test data entry to the selected FDR.
Force Vin Capture Causes the selected module FDR to capture input voltage
waveforms.Note: this control is disabled when Master FDR
radio button is selected.
Force Update Causes the selected FDR to make a data entry of its
current state.
Reset FDR Resets the selected FDR, clearing all FDR entries from the
FDR, and starts recording again.
FDR Timing group Note: FDR timing applies to power supply master
controllers, if a module is selected these controls will be
disabled.
Period (s) Configures the interval (in seconds) between periodic FDR
updates when the output of the power supply is enabled.
Vin sampling (Hz) Configures the sampling rate of module FDR input voltage
scope captures.
Update Updates the timings of the power supply master control
(applies the interval input in the Period(s) field and the
sampling rate selected in the Vin sampling menu).
FDR Data buttons
Download Events
Starts downloading FDR data from the selected FDR to the
tabbed pages in the lower half of this window, i.e., Master
FDR Data, Module FDR Data, Module Scope Data.
Stop Download Stops a download that is in progress.
Clear Log Clears all text from the log display at the top of the FDR
window
Save Data Saves the FDR data to .csv files for analysis in Excel. Note:
the data from each tabbed page will be saved in a separate
file, three dialog boxes will allow the user to select where
this data is saved and to name the files.
Clear Tab Deletes all of the data from the tabbed page that’s active
Tabbed pages
Master FDR Data
Populated with the FDR data downloaded from master
controllers.
Module FDR Data Populated with the FDR data downloaded from module
controllers.
Module Scope Data Populated with the FDR scope data downloaded from
module controllers.
