The optimum measurement interval is as long as possible to avoid unnecessary data creation, but short
enough to cover changes in the process to be observed.
Application 2: Interval < Runtime for Measurement
Cyclic Measurement Interval = 0:10 [min:sec], and
64 scans/ measurement * 0.5 sec/ scan = ca. 32 seconds / measurement
Here the measurement is taking longer than the specified countdown time (32 sec. > 10 sec.); therefore,
the system will measure as fast as possible, even if measurements have a larger time distance than
specified.
In general, this situation should be avoided, since it creates an unnecessary amount of data, and the
measurement interval is now completely dependent on the measurement speed.
Running an application for cyclic measurement
An application for cyclic measurement is handled in the Operator like any other application.
The only difference is the following stop-watch icon, which symbolizes the countdown and is displayed in
the lower-left corner of the Operator window after loading the application:
If the application is started (via the usual green start button), the symbol switches to green:
