Mensurasoft-LZ is a very versatile software: he can make the
measures on any type of measuring device, on the condition of having
the good driver.
The drivers of measuring devices are those
of Mensurasoft system: dynamic libraries. The
measures use
function " cead ", and the drivers also must
have functions
"cnead", " ctitre " and " cdetail ".
Choice of the primary channel
In the menu Settings, take Settings ¦ primary device.
In
the dialog-box, click the button " Chooser driver ", and choose
the driver of your measuring device in the list, possibly in
another sub-directory. Under Linux, drivers have the extension
.so, and under Windows, they have the extension .dll.
After
validation, if the chosen driver is correct, the white
rectangle
in the dialog box contains now one or some possible channels for
measure. Choose the one who suits you, then validate. This validation
closes the window, and makes that the measures of this main
channel are shown in the caption of the main window
of
Mensurasoft-LZ.
The button "Calibration" is usable only if the driver has a
function calibration, what is not the general case.
The
input line " Transformation function = f (xp, xa, xs) " allows to enter
a function of transformation. By default, it is xP, that is there will
be no transformation. If we want to multiply it by 1000, for example to
convert volts in millivolts, it is necessary to type
xp/1000.
Three variables can exist, xP which is the value
received from the driver of the primary channel, xA which is
from
the driver of the auxiliary channel (if it is loaded and
linked),
and xS which is the value received from the driver of the
supplementary channel.
We can use operators and functions described in the part
"Transformation functions".
In the graphic windows, this primary channel will be
represented in red
Choice of auxiliary channel and supplementary channel
The principle is identical to the primary channel..
In
the graphic windows, the auxiliary channel will be represented in
green, and the supplementary channel will be represented in blue.
