The Gage Measure tool takes one or more measurements from one or
more probes and stores the measurements in a buffer ascociated with the
probe(s). This is unlike the analogue read step which does not store the points
Using the Gage Measure Tool
Drag the AnalogueIOCollection
object off the ROT onto the "First Probe" section of the inputs
page of the Gage Measure tool. Use the dropdown menu to select
the probe. If several probes will be used select the first probe
of the set of probes that will be used, according to the list on the
AnalogueIOCollection. For example, if a machine has 12 probes
connected, select probe 6 to use probes 6-12 (assuming the ProbeCount
is set to 6 - see below).
Most of the settings for the Gage Measure tool are setup on its parameters page.
ProbeCount
is the number of probs that will take measurements when the tool is
run.
ReadCount
is the number of measurements that are to be taken by each probe.
Smoothing
is the number of
successive reads that are averaged together. e.g. If smoothing is set
to three then a measurement is averaged with one measurement before and
one measurement after it. The larger the
smoothing the more the high and.low points will be averaged out and the
more gradual
sudden changes will appear.
TimeOut
is how long (in milliseconds) the tool will wait for the readings to be
taken.
DelayTime
is the amout of time (in milliseconds) the tool will wait between
measurements.
