What's new in Perception 6.70?

User Keys are buttons that can be freely configured by Perception users. Several "Actions" can be combined and allocated to a button (user key).

Later, one click on this button is enough to perform a complete list of actions in Perception. Available actions are selected from a list and allocated to a button. Potential actions are, for example: Cursor Navigation, Display Actions and saving of relevant data to the "Action Data Source".

A list of actions for a single User Key could look like this:

• Automatic Cursor Navigation for identification of a measurement's absolute minimum or maximum
• Display zoom between these two cursors
• Transfer of cursor X and Y data to the "Action Data Source"

The values found in this way will of course be available for further computations and reporting. The number of User Keys is unlimited so that users can configure many useful buttons.

Perception is now also supported by the MX471B module of the QuantumX family. MX471B is a CANbus module providing 4 CAN interfaces and is used for reading CAN-, CCP or xCP-on-CAN messages. The Ethernet based PTP protocol (Precision Time Protocol) can be used for synchronization with devices of the Genesis High Speed series.

The 'eDrive' application software is an option provided by Perception for taking measurements on electric inverters and drive systems. Version 6.70 offers the following enhancements:

• New "Motor-Generator" test option that enables simultaneous testing of an electrical machine in both motor and generator mode.
• New live computations
• RPC commands for automatic writing of values to a log file
• Entry field for the number of pole pairs
