Timing Intervals
– Applies to: WBK17’s Period and Frequency Modes Only. The WBK17 has
the ability to measure 1, 10, 100 or 1000 periods (Timing Intervals). This allows the device to divide
sampling error by 1, 10, 100, or 1000, accordingly. Because this division is done within the WBK17, the
need averaging to be done in the PC may be eliminated. For high accuracy on high frequency inputs,
multiple period measurement and PC-based averaging can be done.
Reference Note:
Refer to the
WBK17 Document Module for explanation on how the timing interval affects the
range of the period mode. Frequency is 1/period.
Data Conversion
WaveView contains a file converter capable of converting raw binary data to other file formats. From the
File pull-down menu, select Data Conversion Preferences to choose the desired file formats. Note that the
application for viewing file data is selected by default. The following window is displayed:
File Converter Preferences, Accessed via the File Pull-Down Menu
Check any box to set the file conversion options that WaveView will apply automatically to acquired data.
WaveView’s Convert Data Files option of the File menu allows you to run the File Converter on previously
acquired data. A dialog box is displayed for you to select files from:
Convert Data Files Option, Accessed via the File Pull-Down Menu
During the conversion, a “Converting File” box shows an animated completion bar, the
format of the source and target files, and the file paths of the source and target.
