3 Controlling the system
MX Modules A04089_07_E00_02 HBM: public 37
l Read/write TEDS
l Activate/deactivate isochronous operation via FireWire
l Modify and expand existing sensor databases (e.g. own sensors and dbc
data files), store database in CX23-R readable format (sdbx)
l Map sensor input signals to CAN, EtherCAT® or PROFINET
n
Individual signals:
l Set sampling rates and filters (type and cut-off frequency)
l Measured values (Scope)
l Start/stop continuous graphic measurements (time frames, trigger and zoom)
l Basic signal analysis (X‐Y cursor)
l Record measurements of individual channels
n
Functions and outputs:
l Generate new signals through mathematical functions (peak value, effective
value, addition and multiplication and rotation)
3.3.3 catman®
The HBM catman® PC software is optimally suited for the following tasks:
n Setting the communication and measurement channels (integrated TEDS Editor
and extendable sensor database)
n Configuration of measurement or test tasks (channels, sampling rates, triggers,
comments and interactions)
n Setting up virtual online calculated channels (algebra, FFT, logic, SG rosette
evaluation, differential, integral and such)
n Setting up limit value or event monitoring (digital output activation, acoustic
alarm, logbook entry)
n Individual graphic representation options (strip chart, analog meter, digital or bar
display, tables, status LEDs and such)
n Diverse trigger and storage options (all data, cyclic, ring buffer, long‐term
measurements and such)
n Export of measured data in current data format (catman®BIN, Excel, ASCII,
DIADEM and MDF)
n Graphic analysis of acquired data
n Automation of measurement sequences (AutoSequence and EasyScript)
n Generating reports (with graphic displays, analysis and comments)
The software package catman®AP consists of various modules:
n catman®EASY – the basic package for recording measurement, visualization
and storing
n EasyMath for mathematical evaluation of recorded measurement data
n AutoSequence automates repeating measurement or analysis steps
n EasyPlan enables preparatory parameterization and configuration without
amplifier connection
n EasyScript is based on current VBA standard (Visual Basic for Applications) and
enables writing of own scripts for individual measurement tasks
