WinDaq Add-on: Magic Meter | ||
Magic Meter
Applications:
Highlights
Intelligent Channel
Select: Highlight/Select a channel in WinDaq and invoke WinDaq->View->Add-ons->Magic
Meter, and it will use the selected channel as its default channel
(see video demo above) when it is not in calculated channel mode.
Move the mouse to the left edge of the display to reveal the
configuration button.
Click on the configuration button to adjust the setting Operators include: +, -, *, /, ^, %, &, |, !, >,
>=, <, <=, !=, == Functions include: abs, floor, hex, round, if, avg, bin,
log, sqrt, ceil, log10, sum, max, min, acos, asin, atan, sin,
sinh, cos, tan, cosh, tanh To use the reading from a channel, use #n. For example, #0
is the reading from the first enabled channel in Windaq To access the sample rate, use #@. You can use earlier readings to form a more complicated
math expression. To do so, add a letter after #, and alphabet
order of the letter represents the delay, Such as: #0 is the reading from channel 0 #A0 is the reading from channel 0, one scan earlier #B1 is the reading from channel 1, two scans earlier Readings from up to 26 scans earlier can be used, for example, #Z0. For example: use ( #0-#A0)*#@ to form a two-point
derivative To use the data-window derived results, use #freq,
#min, #max,
#ave, #rms and #acrms to represent Frequency, Minimum,
Maximum, Average, RMS, RMS without DC component, i.e, #acrms0 take the AC_RMS of channel 0.
Please select the window size carefully. The calculated result is presented in the same format as WinDaq
by default. If you need to change it, please follow the steps below Make sure you have WinDaq addon 2.63 or higher Run MagicMeter then exit Open MagicMeter.ini, you will find an entry like UserFormat= Change it to UserFormat=0.00, which represents two digits
after the decimal point When you run MagicMeter again, it will use the new display
format The math equation must be valid even you don't plan to use it
now Configuration is retainable To use this feature, you should start the add-on from the SAME
WinDaq logical channel. For example, highlight the second channel on
WinDaq, start the add-on, set up the add-on then exit. Now the
configuration is saved in a configuration file associated with
second channel. You can have multiple configurations for the same
device, each configuration associated with a different WinDaq
logical channel. To recall the configuration stored associated with
logical channel 2, highlight the channel on WinDaq, start the
add-on. The logical channel mentioned above is not the physical channel,
it is the logical order of a physical channel listed in the channel
selection box. For example, we have two WinDaq setups, one with
physical channel 1,2,3,4,6,8, and the another with physical channel
6,7,9,10,14,15. If the add-on configuration is associated with the
second logical channel, then highlighting physical channel 2 from
the first setup then start the addon will be the same as
highlighting physical channel 7 then start the addon. Displays channel unit Support non-English
(United States) Regional and Language options. Fully programmable palette for better visual effect when
superimposing magic meter to Windaq. The background should match WinDaq's background Foreground should match WinDaq's background if only warning
display is needed to capture attention Limitations Although the meter appears to embed inside WinDaq, it is NOT.
When
you move WinDaq's window around or add/subtract channels, it will
NOT follow your action. The display is right-justified to align the units all the time,
so make sure you make the width of the windows long enough to
display ALL digits To Use WinDaq Add-ons Confirm WinDaq 3.16 or higher is installed on your
computer Install WinDaq add-ons. Start WinDaq, and you will find the WinDaq add-ons
integrated into Windaq->View->Add-ons menu (see the screen
capture above). Intelligent Channel Selection: Highlight/Select a
channel in WinDaq and fire up the WinDaq add-on you wish, and the
WinDaq add-on will use the selected channel as its default
channel. If channel index number is required for a WinDaq
add-on, please enter the 0-based index to Windaq's scanlist. For
example, if WinDaq has channel 3,4,6,7 enabled, one can enter 0
for channel 3, 1 for channel 4, 2 for channel 6 and 3 for channel
7. Do not change WinDaq's configurations while
WinDaq add-ons are running, or some add-ons may terminate. 7033 Menu Name Appeared under WinDaq->View->Add-ons Magic Meter Configuration file C:\Windows\MagicMeter.ini Last update: 01/26/24 © www.UltimaSerial.com |
