Panel Name |
fwSmoothingConfigPopup.pnl |
|
Introduction |
This panel is used to set up the smoothing configuration for one or many data point elements. If the panel is used for just one data point element at a time, the panel shows the current state of the smoothing config when loaded. The user can choose from the standard PVSS driver smoothing options. |
|
Instructions | When configuring the smoothing for a data point element (or elements) you should first check the "Smoothing ON/OFF" check box. Then the smoothing options will appear. Next, select the required smoothing method from the list. Then, if required by the chosen method, you may need to enter a time period and/or a deadband value. Note that you can view the time period in seconds only by checking the "Time in Seconds" check box. Also, you can use a relative deadband value checking the "Relative value" check box. Finally, if you want the archiving configuration to be active, make sure that the "Archiving ON" checkbox is checked. If you uncheck this, then the archive configuration will be stored but the archiving will not operate. Then press OK or Apply to save the configuration. To delete the smoothing configuration on the data point element(s), uncheck the "Smoothing ON/OFF" check box and then press either OK or Apply. |
|
Restrictions | Not all smoothing methods are available for types of data point element. Integer, unsigned and float data point elements support all the methods. All the other types do not support smoothing methods that use a deadband. If you load the panel for a collection of data point elements, the panel will show only the smoothing options that can be applied to all the current elements. So, for example, if the panel is used to configure a float element and a boolean element, the deadband smoothing methods will not be shown because the boolean data point element does not support them. You can press the "Select Elements" buttons to choose which data point elements to configure from the list that was passed to the panel. The panel can only read and write to smoothing configs of data point
elements if the relevant peripheral address driver number is running.
If no peripheral address for a data point element is defined, then
the SIM manager -num 1 must be running (this is running by default
in a new PVSS project). If a data point element is configured with
a peripheral address that has a driver number, say 7. Then a driver
or SIM manager -num 7 must be running in order to access the smoothing
configuration. |
