ER5000 — The ERTune™ Program: Basic Features
The Data Tab
The ER5000 can save data acquired during tuning sessions, as well
as during normal operations after a triggering event has taken
place. Data is written to a delimited text file that is saved to your
computer and uses the .dat file extension.
You can open previously acquired data files in the Plot Screen to
review previous tuning sessions or monitor system performance.
The saved .dat file can also be opened in a text editor or imported
into a spreadsheet or database.
The ER5000 automatically adds a header to the file that includes
date, time, sample rate and collection time.
The default variables that are collected are setpoint and feedback.
Using controls in The Plot Screen Variable Controls and The Power
User Tab, you can add up to four additional variables to data
acquisition, as described on the next page.
