In the PH Collector, the Target ID is selected using the ‘Set ID’ option, which may be found in the
‘Target’ menu.
4.5. PH Log File Selection
All PH entries may optionally be logged to a log file held on the user’s Engineering Workstation. To
enable a log file, the user must select the ‘Log File’ option which may be found in the ‘Logging Menu’.
Entries are appended to the end of the file as they are collected.
4.6. PH Start Collecting
Once the procedures detailed above have been completed, the user may start the collection process.
Any events currently buffered in the Trusted
TM TMR Communications Interface module will be collected
and added to the PH display. Once the PH Collector has retrieved all buffered events, it will regularly
poll for new events. All new events will be added to the display.
To initiate the collection of PH data, the user must select the ‘Start Collecting’ option from the ‘File’
menu
The collection of PH data is stopped by selecting the ‘Stop Collecting’ option which is also in the ‘File’
menu.
If the SOE or PH collector is running when the system application is compiled in the Toolset, then the
dictionary files appli.tst, appli.dco and appli.dlo will be locked by the collector and the compilation will
fail. If it is necessary to keep the collector running during a long compilation, copy the files to another
location. Note that if the dictionary is changed in a way that affects event variables, the SOE collector
will need to be stopped to load the new symbol files.
4.7. Additional PH Features
4.7.1. Auto Advance
It is possible to extend the data collected for each point in real time even though no new state
information is reported by Trusted
TM . Each point’s data set may be extended by selecting one of the
‘Advance’ menu items. This option is useful if the data rate is very slow, but is irrelevant for rapid
updates. It provides a guessed trend of where the collector expects the point to be.
4.7.2. Print
The current display may be sent to a user selected printer using the ‘Print’ menu option from the ‘File’
menu.
4.7.3. Auto Track
Enabling this option forces the display to follow the most recent data point received. This option must
be disabled if the user wishes to zoom/scroll around the current data.
4.7.4. Zoom/Pan
Pressing the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ keys zooms the display in or out respectively. Holding the right-hand mouse
button pressed and dragging in the direction required ‘pans’ the display. Mouse-clicking on a point on
the line provides a readout window of the value at that moment (this requires the mouse point to be
precisely on the line). Left-mouse dragging a rectangle on the graph zooms the vertical axis to the
height of the rectangle.
