Setup & Measurement
Change configuration [Executed Once]
The main action of the sweep plan is Change configuration that contains
the basis of the measurement that will be performed, using a choosen setup associated to a choosen Calibrations. From Sweep plan editor it's possible to edit all
the parameters or to load the .cfg file using "Load from file". You can report
to 3. Measurement in order to fill this
part.
Important: Change configuration is mandatory in order to run any sweep
plan.
Once Change configuration is added to the sweep plan (using drag and drop or
click on the action), it must be linked to a setup (that previously have been
added in the setup manager), a measurement type must be selected then a
calibration include in the setup can be selected.
Note: "Keep Current
Calibration" use a calibration file which has been previously definied in a
previous "Change configuration" action. In other word, "Keep Current
Calibration" allows to use the "local" object of the calibration file. "Keep
Current Calibration" allows to use a calibration object which has been
modified in the sweep with a "New Calibration", "Validate Calibration" or
"Script".
Note: "Skip setup initialization" option allows to load setup, measurement,
calibration objects without initialize the bench.
Perform measurement [Executed Once]
This action will start the measurement with respect to the configuration set in
Change configuration.
Important: Perform measurement is mandatory in order to launch the
measurement process.
On bottom, "Don't execute next actions if an error occurs" allows to stop overall of sweep plan if an error is detected during this measurement.
Load
measurement [Executed Once]
This action will automatically load the measurement file done in "Perform measurement" action in the Datasources.
New Calibration [Executed Once]
This action will automatically start calibration wizard.
Note: At the end of this calibration process, the calibration object stored in IQSTAR
memory will be modified with the new error terms values. Therefore, in the following
"Change configuration", "Keep Current Calibration" option has to be selected to use
the last calibration done in the sweep plan.
Validate Calibration [Executed Once]
This action will automatically start validation wizard.
Initialize
setup [Executed Once]
This action will force the initialization of the setup
Shut down
setup [Executed Once]
This action will shut down of the setup
