Oscilloscope
The software oscilloscope can be used to trace axis and motion parameters, aid-
ing program development and machine commissioning.
There are four channels, each capable of recording at up to 1000 samples/sec,
with manual cycling or program linked triggering.
The controller records the data at the selected frequency, and then uploads the
information to the oscilloscope to be displayed. If a larger time base value is
used, the data is retrieved in sections, and the trace is seen to be plotted in sec-
tions across the display. Exactly when the controller starts to record the required
data depends upon whether it is in manual or program trigger mode. In program
mode, it starts to record data when it encounters a
TRIGGER
instruction in a pro-
gram running on the controller. However, in manual mode it starts recording data
immediately.
Controls
The oscilloscope controls are organised into four channel specific control blocks,
followed by the oscilloscope general controls.
