In order to define the properties of the project drawing, open the menu View/Diagram
properties and then Diagram properties in the context menu, or press <Enter> to open
the corresponding properties dialog.
In order to insert objects into a project drawing, choose the function Edit/Insert
Object… Drawing objects (lines, polygons, etc.) can be inserted with the function
Edit/Draw.
Any number of objects of every type can be integrated into one project drawing, and
any number of project drawings can be active in the program simultaneously. Among
others, this feature can be used to display both overall and partial views of a project at
the same time.
Further information - see: "The Project Drawing Window" on page 50.
New OPC Export
In addition to exporting measurement data to Excel on-line, XTR WinControl also offers
the option to export each channel and each calculation channel to any number of OPC
servers online.
As XTR WinControl functions as client, export is possible to any OPC server that
supports the standards "OPC Data Access", versions 2 or 3, and can be accessed via
the existing computer network.
In order to create a new OPC export, execute the menu function Measurement
values/New OPC export. The window "WinControl OPC Export" will appear, which
shows information on the export. Clicking on the button Properties… will open the
dialog "OPC export properties", in which all settings for this OPC export can be made.
The settings for the OPC export can be saved and used again, as well as adjusted, at a
later time.
This function is not available in all XTR WinControl versions. When this function is
acquired, a detailed description will be provided. We will also provide this description
individually upon request.
AutoSave
To automatically save data to the hard disk of your computer, whenever polling is
enabled, use the command Data/AutoSave. The resulting dialog box contains different
register cards on which the options are sorted according to functional groups. On these
register cards you can select the channels from which the data should be saved, define
the start and the end of AutoSave, path and name of data file, settings for averaging,
conditional data accepting and sending Emails (with data files).
As a reminder of which channel’s data is being written to your hard disk, a small hard
disk symbol (
) appears in the channel list next to those channels.
If the Optional Test Bench Manager has been activated with several Autosave
managers, the Test Bench Manager window will open whenever Autosave is started
(cf.: "The Test Bench Manager"). It shows a list of all Autosave activities that have
been set.
Irrespective of the present page, three buttons can be found in the lower section:
"Start…", "Close…" and "Help". "Start…" will ask for a target for the file(s) afterwards
the saving begins.
