19. Data basis: true world data
Data objects
True DateTime object (“ticks”)
Value
Asynchronous, data logging
Underlying logging architecture
Data file + Conf file
RTS = register time series
AVP = add value pair
Col 1: receiver tick
Col 2: command (here: AVP)
Col 3: number of target time series
Col 4: measurement tick
Col 5: value

20. Data Analyzer Main idea Data Analyzer vs. Live Viewer
link two (or more) measurements
move single timeseries to make them comparable
Create new measurement synopsis
Export to CSV (for further processing)
Data Analyzer vs. Live Viewer
DA works with existing data
LV accepts data in the background, presents live updates

Extending the Hardware
Introduction / Overview SASControl

22. Integrating YOUR hardware!
New hardware / integration possibilities  need for new objects and new commands
Process:
DLL with connection to external hard/software
DLL registers itself (with methods) at the JINT engine
Add wanted functionality to your script
Ready ….
Principle holds true for all TopCon objects  Future adaptability and extensibility guaranteed
