6.4.0 Data Acquisition Signal Addition and
Removal
Signals can be added and removed from Data Acquisition activities for analysis purposes. You can add one
or more signals in an analysis application alone. Removal requires you to make changes in Multipurpose
Elite and Fatigue Analyzer or Fracture Analyzer. Removal deletes the signal definitions without altering the
variable definitions or the original test definition and data.
You can verify that the addition or deletion is successful by checking the Fixed-Column Boundary table for
the array value that you added or removed.
You can add one or more signals in an analysis application to obtain statistical information without performing
another test, but you can only add and map variables to signals that were captured in the test run. You can
change signals and values to determine if you want to retest with different parameters.
To add a signal, you must first define the array variable to contain the data. You can add the variable from
the <new variable> entry of the drop-down button in the Variable box in the Data Acquisitions window or
from the Variable Editor. To remove the signal, un-map the data acquisition signal from the variable.
