How to Define a Max/Min Acquisition Process
1. Drag the icon from the Process Palette to your procedure table.
2. Click the process icon in the procedure table or in the navigation pane.
3. Click the Acquisition tab.
4. Optional—Select a Master Signal, and then select whether you want to
monitor the master signal for Maximum or Minimum values.
5. Click the Signals tab.
6. Move all the signals you want to monitor to the Included list. Move all the
others to the Available list.
Note The order of the signals in the Included list determines the order of the
columns of data in your data file.
7. Click the Destination tab.
8. Type a description of the data file in the Data Header box.
9. In the Destination list, click the destination for the acquired data. (If you
click User-specified data file, type a file name in the User Data File box.)
The Group process will be done when the Program
Event process signals that it has detected a Stop. The
Group process will run indefinitely, recording max/min
values whenever a Stop is detected, until the procedure
is completed. A Max/Min Acquisition process (within the
Group process) will record max/min values
detected from the time you click Run until you
press Stop, or until the test is completed.
A Program Event process (within the Group process) monitors the test for a Stop event.
