Idas Structure; Idas Channels - Teledyne 200E Instruction Manual

Operating Instructions Model 200E Instruction Manual

6.10.1. iDAS Structure

The iDAS is designed around the feature of a "record". A record is a single data point of one
parameter, stored in one (or more) data channels and generated by one of several
triggering event. The entire iDAS configuration is stored in a script, which can be edited
from the front panel or downloaded, edited and uploaded to the instrument in form of a
string of plain-text lines through the communication ports.
iDAS data are defined by the PARAMETER type and are stored through different triggering
EVENTS in data CHANNELS, which relate triggering events to data parameters and define
certain operational functions related to the recording and reporting of the data.

6.10.1.1. iDAS Channels

The key to the flexibility of the iDAS is its ability to store a large number of combinations of
triggering events and data parameters in the form of data channels. Users may create up to
20 data channels and each channel can contain one or more parameters. For each channel
one triggering event is selected and up to 50 data parameters are allowed (the M200E has
around 25), which can be the same or different between channels. Each data channel has
several properties that define the structure of the channel (Table 6-20).
