Measuring Modes
 
Overview
 
You can select either of two scanning modes for NetScan, 1) Normal mode or 2) High-speed, single channel
mode
.
 
NetScan Measuring Modes
 
Mode
 
“Average weight”
Setting
 
Application
 
Normal
 
16, 32, 64, 128, or
256
 
Recommended for AC noise rejection.
 
 
1, 2, 4, or 8
 
Recommended for high-speed, multiple channel applications for thermocouples
and DC voltages where noise filtering is not an issue.
 
High-speed,
single-channel
 
not selectable
 
High-speed, single channel applications for AC and DC voltage post-acquisition
waveform analysis
 
 
In the Normal mode, NetScan samples channel data at 1.92 kHz, or once every 520.83 µs.  You can select the
average weight (number of samples to average) to provide noise filtering, as discussed later in this section.
 
In the High-speed, single channel mode, NetScan collects data in user-defined multiples of 256 samples at a
sampling frequency within the range of 38.5 Hz to 20.0 kHz.
 
 
Aside from selecting NetScan’s scanning mode, and setting the mode parameters from ChartView software (see
Chapter 4, ChartView Software Reference), the following commands can be used.  Note that Appendix A
contains more detailed information regarding these commands.
 
 
Mode-Related Parameter Commands
 
Command
 
Syntax
 
Function
 
M#
 
 
M#mode
 
Set Measuring Mode.
 
Options for mode are:
 
0
 - Normal mode, and
 
1
 - High-speed, single channel mode.
 
W#
 
 
W#wt
 
Set Averaging Weight.
 
Specify the number of samples to average in Normal mode, where 
wt
 is the
averaging weight.  Options for
 wt
 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256, with 32
being the default.
 
F#
 
F#freq
 
Set frequency for High-speed, single channel mode.
 
freq
 must be a value for Hz such that  38.5 < 
freq
 < 2000.  The default is 2000 Hz.
 
Y
 
Ypre,post,stop
 
or
 
Y0,count,0
 
Set Counts or Select Blocks.
 
In Normal mode - This command is used to set acquisition counts where 
pre
 is the
pre-trigger count, 
post
 is the post-trigger count, and 
stop
 is the post-stop count.
 
In High-speed, single channel mode (burst mode) the 
post
 position serves as count.
count is used to select the number of 256 sample blocks to be collected.  Options for
block count are dependent upon system memory as follows:
 
256Kbytes, count value allowed is: 2 to 512
 
1 Mbyte, count value allowed is:  2 to 2048
 
4 Mbytes, count value allowed is:  2 to 8192
 
8 Mbytes, count value allowed is:  2 to 16384
 
Note:  In each case the number assigned for block count must be a power of 2.
 
U16
 
M#modeF#freqW#wt
 
Query the Measuring Mode.
 
This command queries the following three parameters: 
M#
F#
, and 
W#
.
 
U17
 
U17
 
Return RMS.
 
This command computes and returns the root mean square (RMS) value of the last
completed high-speed, single-channel mode acquisition.
