Industrial Control Engineering SDDS RADE Applications EN-ICE-MTA Offline data from the front ends

Industrial Control Engineering SDDS RADE Applications EN-ICE-MTA Offline data from the front ends Each SDDS data file consists of an ASCII header describing the names and types of the data stored in the file. The data follows after the header, and may be in ASCII or binary. SDDS Header SDDS Body

Industrial Control Engineering SDDS RADE Applications EN-ICE-MTA Offline data from the front ends SDDS files are used to store Post Mortem and similar event data Our SDDS library has the capability to read such files (not write).

Industrial Control Engineering SDDS RADE Applications EN-ICE-MTA Offline data from the front ends The palette consists of two parts, which are used independently. SDDS Express SDDS Advanced Express: Reads the SDDS file and displays it graphically. Advanced: Intended for applications that doesn’t display graphs. Less overhead.

Industrial Control Engineering SDDS RADE Applications EN-ICE-MTA Offline data from the front ends SDDS Express SDDS_Open_Files: Reads the file path and outputs the header info and signal names. SDDS_Select:Used to select the signals. Default behaviour is a popup window. Can be omitted completely to use all available signals. SDDS_Read: Reads the signals selected and outputs the data. SDDS_Display:Formats the data so that it can be easily be displayed in a graph.

Industrial Control Engineering SDDS RADE Applications EN-ICE-MTA Offline data from the front ends Manual signal selection Signals can be selected without user interaction. Wire signals as a constant and disable the popup dialogue. One signal type can be displayed per SDDS_Display VI.
