9.1.1 Begin the Collection Process

To begin the data collection process:

  1. Ensure the device is configured as desired for the data collection. For example, device datarate settings, and channel enables are configured as desired.
  2. Ensure the EVM Parameters controls accurately reflect the hardware configuration. Any changes made after the data is acquired are not applied to the current data set.
  3. Enter the number of points to collect in the numeric control below the Collect Data button.

    4. NOTE

    When collecting data, ensure that the estimated time required to collect the data is taken into account for your settings. Large datasets or slow datarates may result in lengthy acquisition times.
  4. Press the Collect Data button to begin the data collection.

When the collection begins, the colored circles in front of the available channels should all turn red. Additionally, a progress bar should appear on the main application window that shows the data acquisition progress. When the acquisition process is complete, any channels that are selected should begin to transfer data to the analysis tool. The channel status indicators turn yellow to indicate data is being transferred and green when the data is transferred and available for analysis or display.
