3.1 Overvew
GateWT opens communications with WT series instruments and acquires data at
regular intervals. Through the monitor server function, the acquired data is transferred
to DAQLOGGER or Remote Monitor via Ethernet. GateWT Configurator consists of two
separate software functions. The following is a list of the features of each software function.
Envronment Settng Functons
Basically, the environment setting functions are used to enter all environment settings
required to run the executable function. The environment setting functions include the
following :
• Entry of parameters used for communications with up to 16 WTs.
For GP-IB : Address
For serial communications : Port, baud rate
For Ethernet : IP address or host name, user name, password
• Display of information (model and number of channels) from the WTs to be connected
The software can open communication with the WTs and obtain this information automatically.
• Tag settings for each WT
• Use/Do not use (ON/OFF)
• Upper/lower limit of span
• Decimal place
• Unit
• Tag name
• Color
• Entry of the acquisition interval and port numbers for the executable function
• Test execution
• The above communication parameters, information from the WT, acquisition interval,
and port numbers can be saved
Later, this information can be loaded by the executable function.
• Runs/stops the executable function as a process
Two executable functions cannot be run at the same time.
If the function is already running as a service, it cannot be run as a process.
• Registers/deletes the executable function as a process
The function can run as a service while being registered.
It can be registered as an automatically executable service.
• Displays the status of the executable function
Stopped, running as a service, running as a process
• Displays a list of monitor clients connected with the executable function
• Displays errors from the executable function
Sockets are used for communication with the executable function.
Executable Functon
Features of the executable function are as follows:
• Runs as a service
• Multiple instances of the function may not be run simultaneously
• Reads the settings file and connects with up to 16 WTs
Communication protocols: GP-IB, RS-232, Ethernet
• Reads instantaneous data from the WTs at fixed intervals and saves the data to
internal memory
Reading interval: 0.5 – 3600 seconds
The internal memory holds the 1800 most recent data samples.
• Runs as a monitor server
Compatible with the DAQLOGGER monitor server specifications.
• Provides a list of clients connected to the status display function
