7 7 Processing of MeasurementsProcessing of Measurements
In most cases the results need to be printed at the and of a measurement and changed to a specific
format. To be able to fulfil all requirements, the application software allows modifications (eg of the
graphics display) to be made at the user interface of the device software, then to return to the universal
sequence controller and continue the program run. There are several alternatives for printing out the
results.
These features are offered at softkey level 4, which is automatically selected at the end of a
measurement.
77.1 .1 Change of Task Application/User InterfaceChange of Task Application/User Interface
At the end of each measurement the GOTO UPD softkey (F7) is displayed. This allows a temporary
change to the UPD or UPL user interface eg for
• changing the scale of the graphics display,
• selecting other measurements (frequency measurement, input-peak measurement),
• switching the 2nd trace on or off or changing it (eg to frequency display),
• switching the graphics cursor on or off or shifting it,
• adding a comment to the graphics display,
• adding a comment to the printout,
• reconfiguring the printer interface,
• printing out the graphics window together with a special status panel and comments,
• displaying limit violations in tabulated form (OPERATION LIM REP).
Return to the application software is possible with the F3 key. After the return all application softkeys are
ready for use again.
77.2 .2 PrintoutPrintout
To print hardcopies, a printer has to be connected to the UPD/UPL and configured. It is important that a
suitable printer driver is selected. Respective information is given in the UPD and UPL operating manuals.
Upon delivery, the SPEAKER.SCO setup of the application software is configured so that the screen
content is output to a SPEAKER.PCX file which is overwritten each time a hardcopy is made.
The screen content can be output (to a printer or file) either at the user interface or directly from the
application software.
The following displays can be printed from the application:
• measured values of the application software together with the graphics sections,
• full graphics display with or without printout comment.
Printout of instrument panels (eg for the documentation of settings) is only possible from the user
interface:
• 1 panel with graphics window, with or without printed comment
• 3 panels (without graphics), with or without printed comment
In addition, trace data and, if applicable, limit violations can be printed out (see section 7.2.1, Printout at
User Interface).
