DataModes™

DataModes determine how the data processor unit stores and displays test data. A DataMode definition consists of a list of input channels, triggering conditions and other parameters specific to the DataMode. The DataMode grid displays all DataModes that have already been defined for the current setup.

See Grid interface for information about showing and hiding columns.

Each DataMode type has its own tab view. Within each of these tabs, only DataModes of that type are visible. Tabs are automatically made visible when DataModes are created.

On a channels tab, a number shows for total channels in the list.

To filter the channels listed, click the Search icon in the Quick link buttons. Enter information in the search bar. The list will show channels containing the entered information. A red number also shows on the tab, which is the number of channels resulting from the search.

While a search is active, the Search icon will change color.

Clear the search bar to end filtering.

In the header, select the check box by the title Name to select or deselect all listed DataModes.

NOTE
When a large number of channels are selected for a DataMode, the GUI responsiveness can become sluggish. Typically with 500 channels or less, this is not overly intrusive to usability. However, if more than 500 channels are required for any given DataMode, it is recommended that users consider splitting the channels across multiple DataModes when possible; otherwise, users will need to be patient in regard to the GUI response when assigning or editing any of the DataMode parameters.
