Configures the recording settings.
Recording mode
Manual: starts recording once you press Record. Scope keeps recording data and uses the new data to overwrite the old one. For example, If Duration is 10 seconds, after you click Record, Scope will record continuously and always keep the latest 10-second data.
Trigger: starts recording as soon as the trigger condition is met. For example, the trigger condition is set as the following:
Source: Servotronix CDHD Actual position
Level: 1000
Above
When the actual position of an axis is equal to or greater than 1000, Scope starts recording. The recording stops after the specified time (Duration) elapses. If the trigger condition is not met, Scope will keep waiting until you click Stop.
Repeat trigger (
): To activate it, click the button. When it is activated, Scope keeps recording data while the trigger condition is met. It uses new data to overwrite the old one, just like the Manual mode.
Duration: the recording length. The maximum is 20 seconds, the minimum is 1 second. When cycle time is equal to or less than 125 microseconds, the maximum is 60 seconds. When cycle time is greater than 125 microseconds, the maximum is 120 seconds.
Trigger condition
Above: starts to record when the value of Source is equal to or greater than Level.
Below: starts to record when the value of Source is equal to or less than Level.
NOTE: As long as the value of Source fulfills the condition of Above or Below, it triggers recording, whether the value is increasing or decreasing.
Source: the trigger source, which is the Variable in Add Channel.
Level: the threshold to trigger recording. When the value of Source reaches Level, Scope starts recording.
