NVGate Ribbons: Acquisition

Inputs group

The inputs group allows dispatching the front-end channels to the analyzer's plug-in and setting up the front-end. This group is visible in Online mode only.

	Connect Inputs: Allow dispatching the front-end inputs (all type) to the analysis plug-ins.
	Inputs: Allow modifying the dynamic input properties. Available when at least one input is active.
	Parametrics: Allow modifying the parametric input (DC) properties. Available when at least one DC input is active.
	External syncs: Allow modifying the digital trigger inputs properties. Available when at least one Ext synch input is active.
	Autorange (CTRL+SHIFT+A): Control and start the auto-ranging procedure. See Chapter 1 ASB § Front-end/Auto-range for details.
	Bridge auto-zero: Balance the inputs connected through the Wheatstone bridge Xpod. See Chapter 1 ASB - § front-end/inputs settings for details.

Player group

This group is visible in Post-analysis mode.

	Connect tracks: This button allows dispatching the signal tracks (all types) to the analysis plug-ins.
	Record number: Define the record number (i.e. a section in the file defined during the acquisition) to be post-processed.
	Player settings: Give a direct access to the Player settings
	Playback mode: Allows choosing between a continuous and a step/step post-process. Continuous: the signal analyses are processed as fast as possible between the start and stop offset. Time step: the signal analyses are processed step by step. The step duration is defined by the Step setting (see hereafter). Each new step is manually (or automated by a macro) triggered through the Step setting (see hereafter).
	Step: Defines the time duration of the playback step for the "Time step" analysis mode. The player switches to "pause" every "time step" second.
	Pause/Cont.: Enables to perform the post-analysis up to the next step.

Transducers calibration

Enables to calibrate the sensors. This group is active only in connected mode.

	Calibration: Open the calibration procedure tool.
	Detect TEDS: Start the sequence for detecting transducers (or missing one) equipped with an electronic datasheet inside (TEDS: Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) connected to the front end.

See transducer and sensor page for details.

Virtual Inputs group

This group gives access to the real-time computation between channels. It is grayed out if the Virtual Inputs option is not available with the user's licenses or if no input/track is connected to this plug-in.

Dynamic: Allow modifying the virtual dynamic input properties. Available when at least one input is connected to the Virtual Input plug-in (Use the Connect Inputs button from the Inputs group for that). Note: the Virtual Input plug-in is optional, it may not be available on the license. In that case, this button is grayed out and the Virtual Input plug-in is not present in the Connect Inputs window.

Parametric: Allow modifying the virtual parametric input properties. Available when at least one input is connected to the Virtual DC plug-in (Use the Connect Inputs button from the Inputs group for that). Note: the Virtual DC plug-in is optional, it may not be available on the license. In that case, this button is grayed out and the Virtual DC plug-in is not present in the Connect Inputs window.

See Virtual Input page for details.
