Entering Parameters With Siwatool; Recording Scale Traces - Siemens SIWAREX WP241 Manual

7.6.6

Entering parameters with SIWATOOL

There is a defined procedure for handling parameters. The current parameters in the
SIWAREX module are displayed in the right-hand window, while the parameter values on the
PC are displayed in the left-hand window. The new parameter value is entered first in the
left-hand window. If several parameters of the data record are to be changed, they are
entered consecutively. The data record is subsequently selected in the tree view and sent to
the SIWAREX modules using the right mouse button "→ Send data record".
Parameters are always changed as a complete data record, rather than individually.
7.6.7

Recording scale traces

Scale traces can be recorded and exported using SIWATOOL. The recording is started and
stopped using commands, and recorded traces can also be deleted. The trace recording
cycle is set in data record DR7. A dialog window is called with the "Export trace data" button.
The trace is displayed in this window as a table or graphic, and the data can be exported to
csv or Excel and then processed further. The commands for starting and stopping are
present in the "Trace commands" group (yellow memory card icon) in SIWATOOL.
All important measured values, messages and changes in status are recorded.
