Description of the "Outputs and Results" View
1 Protocol settings:
- Protocol active: You can use this parameter to activate or deactivate logging of measured val-
ues in a file.
- File: Here you can edit the complete path of the log file where the measured values should be
saved. As standard, the file name has the extension ".txt". Use the button "..." in order to select
the file using a standard Windows dialog.
- Condition: Use this parameter to define the logging condition:

Always: All measuring operations are logged.
 nOK:
 All nOK signals: Measuring operations in which all assessed measured values
 Any nOK signal: Measuring operations in which at least one assessed measured
 nOK x: Measuring operations in which the assessed measured value x is deemed
 OK:
 All OK signals: Measuring operations in which all assessed measured values are
 Any OK signal: Measuring operations in which at least one assessed measured
 OK x: Measuring operations in which the assessed measured value x is deemed
2 Input/Output: Select the protocol for outputting the measured values via Ethernet. The following opti-
ons are available:
-
None: The measured value output function is not active.
-
UDP: The measured values are output via UDP. 3DInspect acts as a UDP server.
-
TCP: The measured values are output via TCP. 3DInspect acts as a TCP server.
-
Modbus: The measured values are output via Modbus TCP. 3DInspect acts as a Modbus TCP
server.
Note: The measured values are transmitted in binary form. Whole numbers are transmitted as inte-
gers (4 bytes) and floating-point numbers are transmitted as floats (4 bytes).
Note: When using Modbus TCP up to 114 Modbus registers (16 bits each) can be used. The output
of measured values starts at Register 11. A measured value requires 32 bits, i.e. two registers. The
upper 16 bits are stored in the first and the lower 16 bits are storeds in the second register.
Note: The byte order of the Modbus registers is big-endian.
Note: If you are using Modbus TCP and a firewall is installed on the system, you have to open the
TCP Port 502 in the firewall configuration.
3 Input:
-
Measurement control: Here you can configure the way in which the measurement is con-
trolled:
 Sensor HW-Trigger: The measurement is controlled via the sonsors hardware trigger
input.
 Modbus: The measurement is controlled via Modbus TCP. A detailed description of the
measurement control sequence can be found in the respective documentation (see
Chap. 3.19, "Documentation" menu).
-
Parameter file mapping...: If you are using Modbus TCP for the measurement control, you
have the option for loading parameter files via the automation interface. Press this button in or-
der to configure the parameter file list. (see Chap. 7.3.1).
Note: The measurement control is only available if you are using the "Automation" function extension
(see Chap. 1.2).
