Mode

The Pane Mode panel is the first panel presented when opening a new (File / New) trace pane. Through it, the user informs the Motion Scope software which source of signal data to use, and what the data access and redraw cycles are.

Data Source-- The actual source of data to be traced. Three menu items:

Demo-- Built-in data traces for demonstration and training purposes.

Note	This setting is not used for signal data measurements!

Device (MPI)-- Standard, default option for examining signal data from controller cards installed within the host computer running Motion Scope.

Controller #-- PCI-assigned controller card whose signal data is to be accessed.

Client (MPI)-- Option for examining signal data from a controller card installed within a remotely networked client computer.

Controller #-- PCI-assigned controller card whose signal data is to be accessed.

Port-- Port number of client computer to be accessed.

Server-- IP address (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) of client computer to be accessed.

Acquire Cycle Time-- Time between acquisitions of view data from the controller. Data is appended to the memory buffer.

Redraw Time-- Cycle time to write (plot) signal data in memory buffer to display pane.
