NVGate Ribbons: Analysis Tab

In this tab, the software gathers the analyses controls. The content of this tab depends on the purchased optional plug-in.

Front-end group

Control/command the Front-end sampling high frequency and low frequency. Note: The plug-in analyzer and the recorder can reduce their respective bandwidths independently. This setting fixes the acquisition time accuracy and fixes the max signal bandwidth.

See Front-end/inputs settings for details.

Player group

	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.

Record group

	Recorder settings: Give a direct access to the Recorder settings.
	Record status: Controls the recorder location and activity. If the setting is set to Off, the icon is grayed. If the setting is set to PC, the signals are recorded on the PC HDD. If the setting is set to Analyzer, the signals are recorded on the analyzer's disk.
	Available: Display the maximum possible recording duration depending on the current recorder setup. The max duration is computed from the free space of the selected hard disk, the number of tracks (and their corresponding sampling frequency) and the number of records. Note: in time to stop mode, the max duration may also be limited by the local available memory (PC/Analyzer) for the description blocks.
	Arm (CTRL+SHIFT+R): Arm the recorder. Prepare the recorder to start immediately on the run. Arming process can lap a few seconds. If the recorder is not armed, it will take a few second to achieve the arming prior to effectively start recording the data. Note 1: modifying a setting of the analyzer will disable the arming. It is then necessary to re-arm it. Note 2: the recorder can be armed from the ASB: (Recorder /Trigger/ Recorder).
	Manual trigger (CTRL+T): Generate a manual trigger event. This event is available for the event list and can be associated to the plug-in triggers (start/stop or trigger). See acquisition tab description. Warning: While the manual trigger is not associated to a plug-in, it has no effect.
	Record mark: Allow adding a mark with comments while recording. These marks are available when the signal file is edited.

Plug-in group

These buttons give a direct access to the plug-in settings. Note: only the plug-ins available with the user licenses are displayed.

Waterfall group

	Waterfall settings: Give a direct access to the Waterfall settings.
	Add/Remove: Opens the Waterfall add/remove result dialog, which allows selecting the list of result to be collected by the waterfall plug-in.
	Mode: Select the data collection synchronization: One shot: the waterfall is fulfilled in one shot from its start trigger to the stop one. Continuous: the plug-in is fulfilled as a rolling buffer (FiFo) memorizing the last data only.
	Depth: Defines the maximum number of slices to be collected. In the continuous mode it defines the depth of the rolling buffer.
	Trigger selection: select the event which trigs acquisitions. A new data collection is performed each time a trigger event occurs.
