Recording fundamentals: Signals (data)
Signals (data) specify what is to be recorded:
● NC variables (axis data, drive data, channel data, etc.)
● PLC data
Cyclic events
Non-cyclic events
Starting a session
● Recording using a trigger
● Manually starting and stopping a trace
Analyzing the result
The following functions are available to analyze the result:
● Scaling characteristic graphs
● Zooming characteristic graphs
● Defining a characteristic range using markers
Sequence
● Create a trace session file as follows:
– Select the variable and define its representation type.
– Set the graphics window, and the save mode
– Set the trigger property to define the start and end of recording
● Save the recording and its associated properties that have been set
● Analyze the result by making the settings for the display in order to view additional details
(e.g. zoom in, scroll, select section, etc.)
