Setup Menu
This menu is used to setup all test related parameters such as channel tables,
test configurations, and black-box mode.
Figure 213. Setup Tab
Test Configuration opens a tabbed dialog box and allows the user to set all of
the testing parameters.
Engineering Units allows the user to set up the EU as global parameters, or
just for the current opened test.
Input Channels opens the channel setup dialog box.
Measured Signals opens the measured signal dialog box. The measured signals
are those signals that can be displayed or stored.
Output Channels opens the Output Channels for FFT window listing all
available output channels in the system. Each available output is identified by
Module and Output Chanel (connector) number.
Alarm Limits opens the alarm limit configuration window. These channels are
given limiting spectral profiles (separate from the test profile), and if the spectrum
of these channels exceeds their profile, an event is triggered. These limit channels
can be set as Alarm, Abort, or Notch.
View Menu
The View Menu is used to add display windows. Display Windows are windows
for displaying data under the Signal Display tab(s) in the main EDM window. This
data can be from recorded files or real-time acquisition, in the time domain or
frequency domain. EDM provides a set of default windows for displaying the
standard data types such as time streams, blocks, and frequency spectra. Custom
window templates, with user-defined combinations of displayed signals, can be
defined using the Save Active Window as User Defined command. These
custom templates will be listed in the bottom of this menu.
