5.7 ANALYZER EXAMPLE: CAPTURE OF AN OVERSPEED EVENT
The signal analyzer can trigger on an overspeed event and capture a recording of the
speed.
The following shows an example of how one channel of the signal analyzer may be
configured to capture a signal when an unusual or unexpected event occurs. In this
example the analyzer will capture the speed feedback when the speed exceeds a
predetermined speed.
The signal analyzer channel is configured as follows:
Input Data: ABS ACT SPD
Trigger: Rising at 1,050 of ABS ACT SPD
Sample Rate: 1 = 2.777 msec
Total Time: 8,000 events × 2.777 ms = 22.22 seconds
Preview: 4,000 events
Reset: Zero bit
Enabled: One bit
The analyzer will capture the speed feedback signal by recording the ABS ACT SPD
value. The trigger is also set to monitor the speed feedback signal. A trigger event will
be detected when the speed feedback signal as reported by the ABS ACT SPD value
passes through the value of 1,050 in a rising manner (the prior sample of ABS ACT SPD
was less than 1,050 and the current sample is greater than 1,050). After the trigger is
detected, the analyzer will collect an additional 4,000 samples of the ABS ACT SPD
signal, recording a sample every 0.00277 seconds.
Figure 5-1 shows the trigger and the actual data stored for an event in which the speed
feedback exceeds the 1,050 trigger level. Note that for this example the analyzer channel
had been enabled long enough prior to the trigger to allow the full 4,000 samples of pre-
trigger data to have been collected:
