This option allows a series of pre-defined actions to be run through within the PHABRIX Sx using a script stored in internal memory.
It can be used to automatically step through a sequence of instrument states, controlling the generator, analyser and logging functions. If required the instrument will prompt the user before going onto a subsequent state.
Applications include repeated test sequences as required by manufacturer Test Departments, R&D Departments, Systems Integrators and Commissioning/Support Engineers.
A script requires a set of memories to configure the unit and then a script file which recalls those memories and specifies times and actions for each step. The process of creating a command script requires these two files to activate the sequence.
Additionally a script can be created as a simple text file on a PC and then transferred to the unit via Ethernet and recalled at any time. A large number of named scripts and memories may co-exist within the instruments store to be recalled as required.
Examples of the commands available for scripting are as follows:
STEP ACTIONS
Recall memory Loads the memory specificed in the memory field
Check in/out errors Check for EDH/CRC errors in the step Time.
Errors will be sent to the log file
Prompt user Requires action from the operator to continue
Enable/Disable event Activates or disables the log file
Clear error counts Clears all EDH/CRC errors
Pause Defines a wait time
Loop Allows the script to run until stopped. The loop count shows how long the script has been running in time and loops
