When the Ethernet Data Source is selected the Live tab becomes available.
Figure 57: Live Tab
The Live tab allows you to make changes to the F180R System setup and Calibration.
Select Setup to launch the MOTION Settings Wizard.
Select Serial Output to configure the serial ports. See Outputs.
Restart will cause the F180R System to reboot and start a new calibration.
NOTE: If you restart the system there may be a degradation in performance for
approximately 15 minutes.
5.2.1.1.1.1 RD Files
To aid low-level diagnostics and troubleshooting the F180R System records a diagnostic raw
data (.rd) file. An .rd file is automatically logged when the F180R System is running and is
stored on an internal flash memory in the system. A new .rd file is started each time the F180R
System is started or when the file size reaches 20MB and named with a yymmdd_hhmmss_#
convention, where # is a sequential number incremented for each file.
Generally, if the system is working well there is no need to save the .rd files. The system
operates a continuous write process. This means that when the flash memory reaches full
capacity the system will then start overwriting the oldest .rd files. This method ensures that
the system always has diagnostic files corresponding to the latest system output.
When the system reaches full capacity the message log will display the following text:
Warning: The System is close to running out of disk space. Once system free
space has been exhausted, older raw data files will be replaced with new raw
data files. You may wish to save some of these older files before they are
permanently deleted. This can be accomplished from the Raw Data File
Management dialog, accessed from the Live Tab.
NOTE: In the event of any anomalous system behaviour you should save the .rd files
from the system and pass them on to CodaOctopus technical support for analysis.
There is no capability for field users to process and analyse .rd files.
The File Management interface lists all the files stored on the flash memory card and allows
you to manage the files. The file management tasks consist of file deletion and download.
To save files to the local host PC:
1. Select Live Tab -> RD Files
