USER GUIDE Ɩ EM8500 SERIES 10.4 MEASURE AND VISUALIZE WINDOWS - ACQUISITION UNIT INFORMATIONS The graphs receive data from the analog-to-digital converters of the EMDVK8500 hardware.(Base Board) The sampling rate is set by the drop-down menu below the graphs. Sampling Rate select Figure 10-8 EM8500 DevExplorer visualize sampling rate selector The time (x) axis (in seconds) is scaled dynamically as more and more samples are received. - Page 37 USER GUIDE Ɩ EM8500 SERIES Data in the log file is identical to the data graphed, including decimation and time stamp. The CSV file contains a header that identifies which column of data represents which voltage node. There is virtually no limit of how long data logging may run, as decimation avoids memory and hard disk overflows.
