2 benchlink data logger your 34980a mulifunction switch/measure unit comes standard with the benchlink data logger software. this software gives you all the basic data logger capabilities including: ? easy connection to the pc ? set up measurements and scan lists ? computed channels and alarms ? collection, graphing and export of your data the benchlink software supports advanced features of the 34980a. you can log data at high speeds with the 34925a fet multiplexer at 900 ch/sec. the benchlink data logger pro software adds advanced data logging and decision making with no programming required. see table 1 for a list of standard features in both products. multiple scan lists with benchlink data logger pro you can identify multiple scan lists to be executed based on different limits speci? ed in your con? guration. setting limits and events set limits to identity when to start other tasks. for out of limit conditions, you can specify for different events to be completed. scripts can be used to close switches or send dio within the data acquisition unit, or scpi commands can be sent to other instruments connected to the pc. for example, when an oven reaches the desired temperature limit, you can start a script to send a scpi command to the power supply to change the input power to your device under test and switch to a faster scan rate to collect the desired measurements. for out of limit conditions other noti? ca- tions such as audio beep, log events or run an external program can also be preformed. see figure 1. table 1. comparing benchlink data logger and benchlink data logger pro feature benchlink data logger benchlink data logger pro easy set up and con? guration identify measurement for each channel set up and execute scans set up alarms conditions math functions including mx+b view real-time and historical data support of multiple graphs log data to disk save and export data limit checking and decision making support of multiple scan lists customizable scripts run external programs based on alarms and events conditional control other instruments via scpi state diagram documentation advanced math and formula support data reduction rules simulation mode figure 1. con? guring events for out of limit conditions
3 the state diagram feature graphically shows the limits and the order of execu- tion for scan lists, events, scripts and other noti? cations. see figure 2. computed channels statistical calculations can be added to analyze unique data points. create computed channels for mathematical rela- tionships with +, C. *, /, db, dbm, dbv, x2, srt, full, ? or 1/4 bridge strain. benchlink data logger pro adds a calculator function for additional math functions such as sin, cos, tan and log. formulas can also be used for more complex equations including polynomial equations. graphing and exporting data graph your data, save it to disk, or export it to other applications for further analysis. use the quick graph tab to monitor your data real time. you can specify multiple channels per graph, or send collected data to multiple graphs use strip charts with markers and alarm indication, or histograms with statistics. the data can be displayed with the auto scale or center on a common a reference point. the data reduction features allow you to ? lter the data begin graphed or exported so that you only view or collect the data of interest. the raw data is saved in comma separated variable format (.csv) and can be easily imported into standard microsoft ? applica- tions such as microsoft word and excel ? for further analysis and documentation. whether monitoring incoming data or reviewing historical data, you can use one of the many analog or digital options to display your data. data management is vital for data logging applications. the benchlink software features a data manager that allows you to easily manage all con? gurations and dataset ? les. use this feature to copy instrument settings, ? nd related data logs, rename ? les, edit comments, export data logs to .cvs format or just delete unwanted data. the windows user interface is also local- ized into multiple languages and includes context sensitive help figure 2. oven control state diagram 3. at end of scan (a3) 2. on single channel limit (a2->b2->c2) 2. at end of scan (a2->b2->c2) start scan done scanning testdut oven warm-up 1. at start of scan (a1) figure 3. graphing your data
