eZ-Analyst 978791 Edit Menu 4-15
When the IEPE cell is checked for a channel, the current source is enabled, and
the input voltage is continuously monitored with level detection circuitry.
Recognition of a voltage greater than 25V (transducer open) or less than 1V
(transducer short) triggers a transducer fault condition for the affected channel.
This error is communicated to the user via a front panel LED and is also available
through a software status request at the end of an acquisition. When recognized,
an error is latched until the commencement of a new acquisition. Consequently,
even intermittent faults are detected and communicated. Detection of a fault
does not, however, alter the acquisition process or its data.
When the IEPE function is not available to a channel a dash appears in the IEPE
column for the associated channel.
TEDS Info
When IEPE is selected you have the option to use TEDS. You can then hold down
the <Ctrl> key and click the mouse button to bring up TEDS information as
indicated in the following screen image.
Example of TEDS Information
Note: the Preferences Tab contains a checkbox with the associated text:
“Check for TEDS sensors on Dynamic Input Channels.”
If checked, every time eZ-Analyst is started, every channel [on each connected
WBK18 or ZonicBook main channel] is scanned for the presence of a TEDS
compliant accelerometer. This scanning adds time to the eZ-Analyst startup.
See Tip.
TIP: If your acquisition system doesn't have [or is not making use of] TEDS
accelerometers, then leave the associated checkbox in the Preferences Tab
“unchecked.” This will allow for a faster startup of eZ-Analyst.
AC or DC coupling can be set on an individual channel basis from the Input
Channels tab. Coupling is available for analog channels (CH1 through CH8) and
for compatible expansion channels [e.g., from a WBK18]. AC Coupling can be set
to a high pass filter value of 0.1 Hz or 1 Hz. The value is selected in the Edit
Menu’s Analyzer Tab (see page 4-4). Note that when DC Coupling is selected the
high pass filter is bypassed.
When the Coupling function is not available to a channel, or not used by a
channel, a dash appears in that channel’s Coupling column.
