Page 66: Groups, Charts & Channels
Groups, Charts & Channels When starting the program with no configuration file present (see Chapter 1 if necessary), a feature called Chart Setup Wizard is automatically activated to assist you with your display setup. To make the best use of Chart Setup Wizard you need to understand the relationship of Groups, Charts, and Channels.
Page 67 As a default, when a to-disk acquisition is armed, ChartView constantly polls the instrument, uploading available scans and storing them to disk. This polling operation, however, can be disabled so that the instrument will operate in a totally stand-alone mode, buffering scans in its internal buffer indefinitely. As its internal buffer becomes full, it posts a buffer overrun error and continues to store scans, overwriting the oldest data in the buffer.
Page 68: What Chartview Provides
What ChartView Provides ChartView and ChartView Plus provide you with the capability to connect to, and control any member of the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 family of data acquisition instruments, as well as to: Create and edit chart display setups ……………………………… See Display Configuration, beginning on page 63 and Chart Setup Wizard, beginning on page 93.

Page 72: Main Window Toolbar
Main Window Toolbar Each item in the toolbar, with exception of Group Select (1), is represented by an individual button icon and is also accessible from the pull-down menu (discussed later). Placing the cursor on the button and clicking the mouse button enables the tool, or opens a corresponding dialog box. Each Toolbar button has a pop-up label that appears when the mouse is placed over the button.
Page 73: Scroll Faster & Scroll Slower
Scroll Faster & Scroll Slower These buttons provide a means of speeding up and slowing down the chart’s scrolling rate, also referred to as chart speed. These two buttons do not affect the scan rates of the acquisition device. The chart speed (item 23) is indicated in the lower right-hand corner of the main window as time/div.
Page 74 Normal Edit Display Configuration Setup Dialog Box with an Existing Configuration To explain editing a configuration, we make use of an example in which assumes you want to edit Chart 1. In the following figure, Chart 1 was highlighted by clicking on it with the mouse cursor. The Display Configuration Setup box then changed, allowing you to see specific channel types (such as volts only) or to “Show all Types,”...
Page 75 Another variation of the Display Configuration Setup box appears when you highlight a channel. In the following figure, Channel 1 (of Chart 1, Group 1) was selected, resulting in a new screen image. From this screen you can edit the channel setup. Adjusting Channel Setup for Channel 1 ChartView and ChartView Plus data channels can operate in one of two modes: Units Full Scale or, Units/Div.
Page 76 Manually Creating a Display For ChartView Plus users, if you plan to have a chart setup which is not weighted evenly, i.e., different numbers of channels per chart and different numbers of charts per group, you may want to manually setup your chart display from scratch, that is, without beginning from a pre-existing display configuration.
Page 77 As seen in the previous figure for the “Clean Slate” approach, you have two options at this point. Perform (4a) or (4b) as appropriate. With ChartView Plus, option (4a) is typically used. (4a) Automatically add groups to the setup. Enter the number of groups and charts desired by using the cursor and typing in the value, or by using the pull-down arrows (τ) and making the appropriate selections;...
Page 78 Choose channels for the selected chart. With ChartView Plus you can select up to 4 overlapping channels per chart. With the basic ChartView program you are limited to one channel per chart. There are four methods of adding channels. These are as follows: •...
Page 79: Channel Configuration
Remember, you can enable additional channels from the Channel and Alarm Setup window. Enabling additional channels allows you to acquire more data; however, it will not change your display on ChartView’s Main Window. In other words, you can acquire data from channels which you do not monitor.
Page 80: Print Charts
Print Charts The Print Charts button activates a screen print of ChartView’s main window. Main Window Pull-Down Menus The ChartView main window features several pull-down menus. As an alternative to the menus, you can enable several menu items by using Toolbar buttons, previously discussed. The items which are in common (between the pull-down menu and toolbar) are described in more detail in the Toolbar section.
Page 81: Chart Menu
File Menu Note When ChartView is started for the very first time there is no default channel configuration file. In this case a ChartView Startup dialog box appears, providing you with the following four choices: Retry, Select Device, Load File, and Exit Program. After choosing Select Device a Select Interface dialog box appears, allowing you to choose IEEE 488, RS-232, or Simulated Instrument.
Page 82: View Menu
Note: There will be no default Display Configuration file present the first time ChartView is started. In this case Chart Setup Wizard activates, allowing you to create a display setup.

Note: (1) For DC voltage and temperature, the term averaging implies obtaining the average measurement over the specified number of samples. (2) For AC voltage, the term averaging implies computing the RMS (Root Mean Square) value over the specified number of samples. To Compute the MultiScan/1200 Scan Interval To compute the time interval for the MultiScan/1200 to acquire one scan, use the following formulas: •...
Page 178 Note: The MultiScan/1200 unit only supports the measurement of AC voltages where the frequency of the input signal is an integer multiple of the AC line cycle. Consequently, sampling weights less than 32 can yield incorrect results. In order to compute an accurate Vrms value, you must program a frequency which will yield a sufficient even integer number of samples per line cycle.
Page 179: Single-Channel High-Speed Burst Mode
Single-Channel High-Speed Burst Mode In single-channel high-speed burst mode, the MultiScan/1200 unit can sample and store data from 38.5 Hz to 20 kHz. When performing post-acquisition waveform analysis such as Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs), the unit can return the data points to your program in a waveform. As an alternative, the unit can provide a true RMS (Root Mean Square) value of the equivalent AC voltage.
Page 180: Required Configuration
Required Configuration Although most of the user-defined configuration states have associated defaults, the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 does not scan its channels on the initial power-up activation. Before scans can begin, the following required configurations must be performed: • Configuration of the desired channels. See command Channel Configuration ( •...
Page 181: Channel Configuration
Channel Configuration The TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 unit performs several sophisticated calculations on the raw voltage before supplying it to the controlling computer. To perform such calculations, the unit must know the channel transducer type, and configuring a channel is the process of describing the channel transducer to the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 unit.
Page 182 Configuring TempTC/32B Thermocouple Channels (TempScan/1100 Only) If the TempTC/32B scanning card is used, 32 differential thermocouple inputs are provided. In configuring thermocouple channels, all that is required is to assign each channel to a particular thermocouple type. Support for Type J, K, T, E, R, S, B and N (14 and 28 gauge) thermocouples are standard.
Page 183: Scan Configuration
Scan Configuration Configuring the Scan Channel Scan & Scan Interval Definitions Although a fully-expanded TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 system of 31 available scanning-card slots can provide a maximum capacity of 992 or 744 channels, respectively, only those channels configured in the channel scan are collected and available to the controlling computer. Channels are always scanned in ascending order, regardless of the sequence you input.
Page 184 Fast-Mode Scan Rate (Minimum Scan Interval) However, the scan interval can also be set to run at the minimum scan interval, yielding the fastest scan rate that the current system configuration will allow. This is referred to as fast mode. Either the normal or acquisition scan interval can be set to fast mode, by specifying the following scan interval –...
Page 185 To Compute the TempScan/1100 Scan Interval To compute the time interval for the TempScan/1100 to acquire one scan, use the following formulas: • For a 60 Hz line cycle: Scan Interval is: Is-t = [Next highest integer (Dv / 4)] x R1 •...
Page 186 To Compute the MultiScan/1200 Scan Interval To compute the time interval for the MultiScan/1200 to acquire one scan, use the following formulas: • For a 60-Hz Line Cycle: Scan Interval equals: Is-m = Cv x (Wv + 12) x R3 •...
Page 187: Acquisition Configuration
Acquisition Configuration Configuring the Acquisition (Non-Burst Mode) Acquisition Definition After configuring each channel, it is necessary to configure the acquisition parameters to collect and buffer scans. An acquisition can consist of the following components: • Pre-Trigger: The state in which scans are taken before the Trigger (trigger start event) is satisfied. This component is not required.
Page 188 If the Pre-Trigger is set to a non-zero value, the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 will begin sampling Pre-Trigger data immediately after the Set Trigger Configuration ( ) command is issued, at the rate specified by the current normal scan interval, as set via the Set Scan Interval ( command.
Page 189 If the Post-Stop parameter of the Set Counts ( ) command is set to a non-zero value, the stop TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 will begin sampling Post-Stop data upon the occurrence of the Stop event, and will acquire the specified number of Post-Stop scans. When the specified number of Post-Stop scans have been collected, the unit will terminate the current acquisition and return to a non-acquiring state.
Page 190: Trigger Configuration
To enable the gap-free acquisition with two timebases, you must perform the following: • Specify the two trigger events – the Trigger (trigger start event) and the Stop (trigger stop event) – via the Set Trigger Configuration ( ) command. •...
Page 191 • Auto Re-arm: This parameter is the feature which determines whether or not, after the initial acquisition, the acquisition will be re-enabled automatically. If the Auto Re-arm feature is in use, the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 unit will immediately begin looking for another Trigger event once a Stop event and Post-Stop count are detected to indicate that the current acquisition has terminated.
Page 192: Additional Configuration
The Trigger and Stop can each be assigned any of the following sources: • @: Trigger and/or Stop event. Trigger source type . When is selected as the trigger source, the Trigger On ( ) command will generate a trigger. •...
Page 193: Alarm Configuration
Alarm Configuration The TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 unit can be programmed to produce an internal alarm event when the value of a channel is outside of user-defined limits. In turn, these alarm events can be used as sources for Trigger or Stop events, or as stimuli for TTL-level signals. To use the alarms, the relevant channels must be part of the channel scan.
Page 194 For example, let us assume a channel has alarm setpoints of 100 and -100, and a hysteresis of 10. If 100 is exceeded, the channel will remain in the alarm state until the signal falls below 90. Or if -100 is exceeded, the channel will remain in the alarm state until the signal rises above -90.
Page 195 Comparing Buffered Data to Alarm Status Data With the TempScan/1100 unit, unless scans are being collected at the maximum possible frequency, the alarm system may detect alarm states that will not appear in the collected data. Since the alarms are being updated at the maximum possible frequency, which may be considerably faster than the scan frequency as set by the programmed scan interval, an alarm state may be detected even though no such value can be found in the buffered scan data.
Page 196: Stamp Configuration
Stamp Configuration Scan Time Stamping The contents of each scan contains one reading for each of the configured channels. Optionally, time stamping of each scan can be enabled with the Set Scan Time Stamping ( ) command. Either absolute or relative time stamping may be specified. For more information, see command Set Scan Time Stamping ( ) in the chapter API Command Reference.

Page 199 With digital input stamping, the “on” (1) or “off” (0) states of the 8 digital inputs can be stamped to each scan in real time. Digital input stamping of each scan can be enabled with the Set Digital Input Stamping ( ) command.
Page 200: Data Format Configuration
Data Format Configuration Readings from the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 are outputted in the format that you have configured. The Set Data Format ( ) command determines whether Engineering Units converted from ASCII, a Binary format, or an unconverted ASCII raw-data count is used; and if Engineering Units is selected, determines what kind of Engineering Units is used.
Page 201 Data Output Formats During or after the acquisition, issuing the Set Data Format ( ) command determines the format of output data coming from the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 unit. However, data output formats differ slightly from data input formats in that Binary formats may be used, and used only for the output of channel data.
Page 202 Engineering Units Format If the Engineering Units data format is selected, the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 will interpret and supply data in a format appropriate for the configured thermocouple or volts channel type. In the Engineering Units format, both input and output data formats are valid for the following data: •...
Page 203 • Timebase (Scan Interval): The timebase (or scan interval) data will have the same ASCII-based format as the Time/Date input data format, but without the date as follows: hh:mm:ss.t Binary Format As previously discussed, the Binary data format may be used only for the output of channel data, where channel data is defined as data originating from the High/Low/Last (HLL) Registers or the Acquisition Buffer of the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 unit.

Page 206: Power-Up Configuration
Power-Up Configuration The TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 unit has an internally-stored factory-default configuration which can be recalled at any time. You can program the unit to power-up in a user-defined state, or if preferred, you can configure the unit to power-up with the default configuration. During normal operations, the factory defaults may be recalled by issuing the Restore Factory Defaults ) command.

Page 208: Buffer Organization
Buffer Organization Single Trigger Block Each Trigger Block in the buffer has an associated Trigger Block descriptor, used by internal processes for Acquisition Buffer maintenance. The management of this Trigger Block descriptor is totally user- transparent and, since the Trigger Block descriptor takes up memory, it will have an indirect affect on some user-defined processes.

Part 4 – The oldest complete Trigger Block currently in the Acquisition Buffer has been read. The program example demonstrates how the command will read all of the scan data currently residing in the buffer.
Page 217: Buffer Overrun
Buffer Overrun The TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 Acquisition Buffer will wrap around on itself if the controlling computer cannot read the data out fast enough before the buffer gets completely full. This situation is called buffer overrun (as opposed to a Trigger overrun). Although this situation prevents new data from being lost and keeps the scan rate consistent, it also overwrites the oldest data.

Page 219: High/Low/Last (Hll) Registers
High/Low/Last (HLL) Registers Other than reading the Acquisition Buffer, accessing the High/Low/Last (HLL) Registers is an alternative method of getting channel data from the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 system. Independent of the triggering and scan-interval configuration for an acquisition, the HLL Registers are constantly updated with new values during the acquisition, at the following rates: At the maximum scan rate, for the TempScan/1100;...
Page 220 As you can see, two queries are available to read the HLL Registers: . The command requests the HLL data, maintaining the High and Low values, while the command requests then clears the HLL data, resetting the High and Low values to the Last value. All HLL data will be sent to the controller as dictated by the scan configuration and data format which you have defined.

Page 224: Comparing Buffered Data To Hll Data
Comparing Buffered Data to HLL Data With the TempScan/1100 unit, unless scans are being collected at the maximum possible frequency, the HLL Registers may detect alarm states that will not appear in the collected data. Since the HLL Registers are being updated at the maximum possible frequency, which may be considerably faster than the scan frequency as set by the programmed scan interval, an alarm state may be detected even though no such value can be found in the buffered scan data.
Page 225: Theory Of Operation
Theory of Operation Each register is part of a hierarchy of status-reporting and mask registers where operations on higher registers will affect the contents of lower registers in the chain. This hierarchical approach provides various levels of status reporting. The lowest levels give general event status information while the higher levels give more details of the particular events.
Page 226: Status-Reporting Registers
Status-Reporting Registers Calibration Status Register (CSR) The Calibration Status Register ( ) is a Read/Clear-Only register in that it may only be read and cleared by the controller, via the following User Status ( ) command – Query and clear the Calibration Status Register ( ).

Page 232: Additional Operation
Additional Operation Trigger Latency Each trigger source has an associated latency. This latency is the time between the actual Trigger (trigger start event) and its recognition by the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 unit. The following latency times are simplistic representations of the time between when the Trigger is detected and when the Trigger has been processed.

Calibration Protection The chassis calibration constants and the calibration password are stored by the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 in Non-Volatile RAM (NV-RAM). The password is a safety feature used to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering Calibration Mode and altering the calibration constants. As a safeguard, the calibration password and chassis calibration constants are hardware protected.

Calibration of Scanning Cards Scanning Card Calibration Channels The scanning cards described in the following text are applicable to specific scanning units, as shown in the first of the three table. For example, the TempV/32B voltage scanning card pertains to the TempScan/1100 unit only, whereas the MTC/24 thermocouple/volts scanning card pertains to the MultiScan/1200 unit only.
Page 241 The Calibrate Channel Offset ( ) command – formatted as – and the Calibrate Channel Gain Hchan ) command – formatted as – typically refer to calibration being performed on the first Gchan,type channel number of each selected scanning card. These typical channel values are indicated in the chan second table.

These multiple channel values are indicated in the third table. Make sure that the channels selected with the calibration command matches the channels connected to the precision thermocouple- calibration source. Note: The following text discusses the traditional manual method of calibration. But if you have access to a PC with Windows 3.X or Windows 95, we strongly suggest using ScanCal.
