Instrument Add

SA supports a wide range of instruments that each have their own character. SA also supports custom interface development.

 

The first step in working with an instrument within SA is to add an instrument model to the job file. This defines a instrument location in space and provides an anchor to which measurements from this station are recorded.

The Add Instrument to SA dialog lists all available instruments that can be used in SA, listed in categories by type in a tree on the left. Note the All Instruments radio button is selected in order to do so.

The instrument list will automatically filtered to only show the instruments that you have added in the past and will list these instruments when the My Instruments option is selected. Each time an instrument is added to a job, it’s added to this filtered list which is saved in the C:\Analyzer Data\Persistence folder by default.

A selection of model specific options are available under the instrument image on the right.

These Options include:

 

Once a instrument model is added to SA it will broadcast its availability and an interface can then connect to that arm.
