Spider DSA User’s Manual

Live Signals include all input channels that are a part of the current system and
the output channels. Depending on the test type, there may be other signals such
as the control profile, associated alarm, and abort lines. The list is divided in
categories for time streams, block signals, and frequency data from these sources.
It can also be viewed according to the hardware modules by right-clicking on the
list and selecting Sort Signals by Spider Modules.
Run Folders tab displays the recent Runs:
After the user presses the Run button and the test finishes, a “run” is generated.
By default, a Run folder is created on the disk. As shown in the picture above, for a
given test, Random1, a test file, Random1.stk, is created, and each Run in the Run
Folder tab, corresponds to a physical folder on the disk.
Data Files are time streams and block data saved or recorded to disk. All of the
data files under a specific Run will be saved into that Run folder. When block
signals are saved by clicking the Save Sigs button, a data file will be created and
displayed here.
