Analog value recording description of functions

The "Analog Value Recording" function block can be used to record any analog values
(2 bytes / 1 word) in SIMOCODE pro over a set period of time. For example, you can use
this function block to record the characteristic curve of the motor current during motor
startup.
The recording is made directly in SIMOCODE pro, referred to the motor feeder, and
independently of the communication bus or the automation system. Every analog value
present at the "Allocated analog value" analog socket is recorded and saved. Recording
starts on the basis of the edge (positive / negative) via any binary signal at the trigger input
of the function block. Up to 60 values can be saved internally in the device. The time frame
of the recording is indirectly determined by the selected sampling rate:
Sampling time = sampling rate[s] * 60 values
The pre-trigger can be used to specify how far in advance the recording should commence
before the trigger signal is issued. The pre-trigger is set as a percentage of the entire
sampling time. In addition, with SIMOCODE ES you can also export the measured curve into
a *.csv file for further processing, for example, in MS Excel.
