Test configuration
Computed channels are data channels derived from one or more input channels or other computed channels. The computed channel grid displays all computed channels defined for the current setup.
See Grid interface for information about showing and hiding columns.
Each computed channel type has its own tab view. Within each of these tabs, only computed channels of that type are visible. Tabs are automatically made visible when computed channels are created.
Available computed channels:
TIP
To hide or show grid tabs, click and select which views to show.
NOTE
The Profile Generator computed channel is for HBM internal use only and is not supported for other users.
Many parameters are common across all computed channels and are displayed in the All computed channels tab:
There are two options to add a computed channel.
Navigate in the Select computed channel dialog using a mouse pointer or a keyboard up-arrow or down-arrow key (not a 10-key pad up-arrow or down-arrow key). Click the mouse or Enter key to open a dialog for the desired Computed channel.
Once created, a channel can be used on its own or as an input to other computed channels.
Select the desired computed channel and click Edit to edit the channel parameters using the computed channel dialog.
Navigate in a Computed channel dialog using a mouse pointer or keyboard Tab key. Mouse point or Tab between insertion points. Use the mouse or up-arrow or down-arrow keys to scroll among options. Click the mouse, Tab or Enter to select an option.
Alternately, edit the computed channel parameters directly in the channel grid. Select the All computed channels tab to edit generic parameters and the channel type tab to edit channel specific parameters.
If the computed channel name is changed, all references to the channel from other computed channels or DataModes change automatically.
To copy the properties from one channel to another, select the channel to be copied and click Copy. Select the parameters to copy. The parameters depend on the selected channel type. In addition, parameters hidden in the grid view do not display in the copy dialog. Click OK to copy the selected parameters.
Select the target channel and click Paste to paste the copied parameters into the selected channel. Only parameters that exist in the target channel are pasted.
Select the desired channel or channels and click Remove. Removing channels referenced by other computed channels or DataModes results in an error. Computed channels cannot be recovered after removal.
To view a digital display of the current channel values, select one or more channels and click Digital Meter.
Click Freeze to pause the reading
NOTE
Digital meters cannot be displayed while a test is running.
