Data Management
The nature of signal measurement generates a large number of records. The
EDM software provides tools to manage this data to simplify searching, review
and exporting the data. Data can be searched by key words, date or time, size or
other file attributes. Data can be previewed via thumbnail representations of the
data or by text file attributes. Data can be replayed within the search tool
including the ability to scroll through a long time stream to verify that the record
contains the required properties. EDM simplifies the process of exporting data
from the native ASAM ODS format to other popular universal formats including
UFF, BUFF and ASCII.
Data Analysis
The EDM software includes basic analysis tools that help measure signal
characteristics such as zoom and pan and cursors. Multiple signals can be
overlaid on one trace for comparison. Long time streams can be played back and
time or frequency data can be displayed.
CoCo-80 – PC Communication
The first step in downloading data from the CoCo-80 to a PC is to establish
communication between the two devices. CoCo-80 is equipped with a number of
hardware connectivity functions for easy communication with a host PC. These
include:
USB port
100MbaseT Ethernet
Wireless 802.11b/g using SD card
You can choose one of following four typical connections:
Connect CoCo-80 to a PC directly using a USB cable
Connect CoCo-80 to a PC directly using Ethernet via cross-over cable
Connect CoCo-80 to a local network using Ethernet where a host PC
resides on the local network
Connect CoCo-80 to a local network using a wireless SD card
The table below summarized the configuration for these connections.
