Post Process Design Time Mode
SigQC version 14.3.2.1 and greater supports a feature termed Post Process Template Design-Time Mode. This feature is designed to aid development of post process templates by allowing intermediate results to be viewed interactively. In addition to all of the existing post process calculation steps, data graph steps have been added to allow display of data from the output of any calculation step. While in design time mode, access to data stored in the database is readily available for temporary execution of the process. This allows users to quickly visualize the effect of calculations and verify results as the post process template is created.
To better explain the feature, an example will be developed based on a common problem that is encountered on many test stations; data trimming. For this example, assume production units are exercised through four motions; a DC motor is used to drive the unit. All that is given to SigQC is a start and stop signal to indicate the beginning and ending of the entire test. SigAnalyzer is used to acquire a DC current signal and one vibration channel using an accelerometer. The task is to separate the complete test sequence into the four separate motions using the DC current signal, then generate a maximum vibration metric over these motions.
