DAS60 User’s Manual METROLOGY
The meteorological conditions of your measurement instrument are defined in the specifications of this notice. Climate and environmental conditions restrict the specifications of your recorder. SEFRAM checks the characteristics of each appliance one by one on an automatic bench during its manufacture. The adjustment and control are guaranteed under conditions of the ISO9001 certification by facilities in connection with the COFRAC (or equivalent in the context of ILAC reciprocity). The specified characteristics are considered stable for a period of 12 months from the first use under normal conditions of use. We recommend a check after 12 months and max. 24 months of use, then every 12 months after 24 months. For any check of the characteristics, the following average climate conditions shall be maintained (23°C+3°C ­ 50(+20)%RH). The recorder should have been working for 0,5 hour before check. We recommend that you have this control made by our after-sales service (Service Après-Vente) for the best service and preservation of the measuring quality of your instrument. When a recorder returns to SEFRAM, maximum service is provided with internal updating according to the required adjustments and software updates. In case of shift in the characteristics, your instrument shall be adjusted to recover its original characteristics.

3.5. CONNECTION TO THE MEASUREMENT NETWORK
3.5.2. Voltage measurement The voltage is measured between the red and black terminals of the inputs with wires and male security pin plugs (according to CEI 1010).
3.5.3. Temperature measurement with a thermocouple The voltage resulting from thermocouple effect must be measured between the red and black terminals of the relevant input. To provide right measure values, connect the two ends of the thermocouple cord directly onto the quick fastening socket. Plug the two pin plugs onto the selected input with respect of the polarity.
Do not use welding male pin plugs: the welding would alter the thermocouple effect.

3.5.4. Temperature measurement with Pt100/Pt1000
The Pt100 probe must be connected on the « I+ » and « – » terminals. The voltage from the Pt100 must be measured between the « + » and « -» terminals with one of the two following mountings: 2 or 3 wires. The 3-wire mountings make the measurement independent from the resistance of the line.
Wiring:

2 wires

3 wires

3.5.5. .Current measurement
You can make current measurements by shunt between the red and black terminals of the relevant input.
In this case, select the “current” type among the parameters of the relevant channel. Connect the measurement wires to the terminals of the shunt.
The results are directly displayed in Amperes or milliamperes according to the caliber of the selected channel.

23 / 134

DAS60 User’s Manual
3.5.6. Connection of the ground
· If the source of the signal you have to record has low internal impedance, you shall use twisted wires. In case of high impedance, you shall use shielded wires.
· When gathering grounds from the various items on the measurement line, it is good to check that there is no voltage difference between them, in order to prevent any shortcut. If any doubt, make a measurement with a voltmeter on a low resistance (i.e. 1k) between the terminals.
3.6. Routine maintenance
Maintenance only consists in cleaning outside the device. Any other operation requires a qualified personal.
Unplug the device before any intervention.
Never let water flow through the device to prevent any electrical discharge. Periodically clean the recorder with the following the instructions:
– use water and soap to clean the front and rear boards – never use any product that contains petrol, benzine or alcohol: they would damage the
screen printings – wipe with a soft lint-free cloth – use some antistatic product to cleanse the screen.
3.7. Battery
The device is equipped with a lithium-ion battery (Li-ion). It is sent with charged battery. However, if the device has remained unused for more than one month, check its loading status and reload it if required.
Attention: Any intervention on the battery requires dismantling of the device and shall be made by a SEFRAM technician. Only use batteries provided by SEFRAM.
Security advice: · Never heat up or throw the battery pack into the fire · Never shunt parts of the battery: risk of explosion! · Do not bore the battery · Do not dismantle the battery pack · Do not reverse the polarities of the battery · This battery pack includes a protective item that shall not be damaged or removed · Do not store the pack in a place exposed to heat 24 / 134

DAS60 User’s Manual
· Do not damage the protective sheath of the pack · Do not store the device in a vehicle exposed to sunbeams.
The battery should last 200 charge-discharge cycles or 2 years.
Advice to extend the life of the battery: · Do not discharge too much · Do not store the batteries too long without using them · Store the battery at around 40% charge · Do not fully charge or discharge the battery before storage.

DAS60 User’s Manual « Impossible » shows up when there is not enough place for saving data: you should reduce the sampling rate or the number of channels
See chapter File mode to know the restrictions of the recording on file.

8.2. Sampling period
When the frequency of the input signals is too high to record them in Direct mode, you must record the measurement signals into memory at high sampling rate: it is the Memory mode. Sampling consists in recording the instant value of a signal at regular intervals and storing each of these values into a memory. To get adequate acquisition of a periodic signal, you need to choose a sampling period compatible with the frequency of the signals present at the input terminals of the recorder.
A 10-dot per signal period definition is minimal for a satisfactory plot.

8.3. Internal memory, blocks
The available memory in the recorder can be shared into blocks that will be filled one after the other at each data acquisition.
The acquisition depth is worth N / (B V) N= total memory amount B = number of blocks V = number of channels to scan
Example: memory 32 Mwords, 16 blocks and 3 channels ‘ON’, we shall have: N = 32 554 432 / (16 3)= 699 050 words/channel.
Any new data acquisition goes automatically into the first free block (in increasing order). When all blocks are full, any new data acquisition will shift the previous blocks from the N position into the N-1 position; the 1st block will be lost. The new data acquisition will take the place of the last block.

8.4. Trigger position
The data acquisition into a memory block relies on the concept of « circular buffer »:

60 / 134

DAS60 User’s Manual

· the buffer is filled from the starting condition on
· the buffer is filled as long as the stop condition is not valid; when the buffer is full, it fills from the initial position of the buffer zone (block)
Thus, the memory block always contains the last N samples.

The operator can select when the samples in buffer will be frozen; to do so, you will select a delay between the trigger start and the beginning of the effective buffering. This delay may be positive or negative: thus, buffered samples may be before, after or on both sides of the start moment.

You can also not inhibit the trigger: you will be able to test the trigger during the pre-trigger phase, in case the trigger should happen before the end of this phase. In case of repetitive signals, the trigger should be inhibited.

Delay to memory input: -50% from the 1st position of buffer

Delay to memory input: +50% from the 1st position of buffer

8.5. Double Trigger mode
In this mode, you will use a start trigger and a stop trigger. Measurements between these two triggers shall be registered.
Data acquisition will stop automatically: – when the stop condition is valid, or – when the memory block is full.

An information window will sum up the general configuration of data acquisition:

–

channels and functions between channels validated for data acquisition

–

number of points per channel (as a function of the number of blocks)

–

total data acquisition time (as a function of the acquisition speed)

DAS60 User’s Manual

Use of the template The comparison with the template is the stop criterion of the data acquisition. This comparison shall

be made with the « Template Channels » selected in the

page.

The information window at the bottom of the page

sums up the general

configuration of the data acquisition:

· channels and functions between validated channels for data acquisition

· channels and functions between channels compared to the template

· number of points per channel (as a function of the number of blocks)

· total data acquisition time (as a function of the acquisition speed)

· position of the trigger (as a function of pre-trigger phase)

The comparison to the template is only possible when the channels are validated for data acquisition. An error message shows up if you have selected « Template Channels » that have note been validated.
The data acquisition is made as above (see chapter Memory Mode).
When the memory block is full, the device checks that all measured points on the template channels are between the 2 min. and max. reference curves constituting the template.
If all points are between the curves, the data acquisition restarts (in the same block). If not, the data acquisition stops.

10.2. Restrictions
Real time data acquisitions to a file are limited by the transfer rate between the inputs and the saving means of the internal memory or USB sticks. It is advisable no to create too big files, because reading them may be very long. It takes ca. 3 minutes to read a 200MB file. The minimum transfer rate to the flash disk is 500 Ksamples/s (2µs) To know the number of channels you can record at a given acquisition period, calculate: · number of channels = 500 000 x acquisition period
example: at 2µs, the number of channels is max. 1.

Select the basis configuration of the analyzer: · single-phase · Star · Triangle · Three phase mode Aaron: Only 2U and 2I are used. The 3rd phase is re-calculated (method of the double-wattmeter).

The

key allows you to set up the channels in a basis configuration:

· Frequency : select the frequency the closer of your measurement: generally 50/60Hz · Voltage measurement: « Direct » or « Transformer ». If the network voltage is measured
through a transformer, select this setup and enter the transformation ratio · The device automatically selects the right caliber; you only have to specify the nominal voltage
of the networks. Beware: if this value is too different from the real voltage, this may lead to uncertainty and measurements over the caliber · Current measurement: select the current type of input (clamp, shunt, transformer). In each configuration, you have to enter the associated parameters. · For “clamp”: primary current, secondary voltage (these are current / voltage clamps) · For “transformer” (transformer + shunt): primary and secondary currents and value of the shunt · For “shunt”: value of the shunt, in ohms · You also have to set the nominal current and voltage · Data acquisitions are synchronized with the calculation of frequency of channel 1.

DAS60 User’s Manual Wiring and check: Direct display of the network wiring. Any wrong wiring may lead to wrong results. The colors of the channels match the colors of the respective inputs. The voltage inputs U1, U2 and U3 are connected to the terminals 1, 3 and 5. The current inputs I1, I2 and I3 are connected to the terminals 2, 4 and 6.
Fresnel diagram: You can also check if the wiring is right by displaying the Fresnel diagram. The length of the arrows is not proportional to the efficient value of the currents: the user will have to check that what he sees is coherent. The position of the voltage arrows is calculated with reference to the voltage V1. Attention: the angles are those of the voltages/currents representative either of the shape factor or of the fundamental values. You can check whether the connection is direct or reverse. Intensity vectors are calculated in reference to the corresponding voltages.
Attention: even if nothing abnormal appears, there may be mistakes. In any case, the wirings must be made with caution by a qualified personal.
Warning messages: Messages may appear in red any time at the top of the screen: · Impossible to synchronize the signal: the frequency is wrong, the signal is too weak or too noisy · Caliber exceeded: The voltage or the current are too high for the theoretical nominal value: you
must change this value or use another probe.

14.5. Programming language
Format of the reception messages
In all the following examples, the space character is pictured as a blank space.
Exchanges from a controller to the recorder are made as messages made of a chain of ASCII characters (and possibly of binary bytes) with a message termination at the end. Syntax of a receipt message

Message unit: if the message includes several message units, they are separated with a semicolon “;” and possibly preceded and/or followed by one or several “filling” characters in ASCII code (0 to 32, in decimal format except 10 and 13).
The message termination (TERM) for the Ethernet link is: – LF: Line Feed (10 in decimal)
The message termination may be preceded with one or several “filling” characters under ASCII code (0 to 32, in decimal format except 10 and 13).
Example of messages made with 3 message units: MESSAGE 1; MESSAGE 2 ; MESSAGE 3 TERM CHANNEL 1; TYPE:VOLTAGE DC;:CALDEC ? TERM
Syntax of a message unit
A message unit (ex. :REAR:SETUP 1) is made of several fields:
– Header: For the command messages (ex. :REAR:SETUP 1) or query messages (ex. :REAR ?), it is made of a chain of characters (simple header) or several chains separated by “:” (compound header). A chain includes from 1 to 12 alphanumeric characters or “_” (code ASCII 95 in decimal format). Recommended chain length: 4 characters. A header chain always starts with an alphabetic character. It may be preceded by a colon “:” (compound header) or end by a question mark “?” (query message).
Query messages must be followed by the termination.

– Header separator:

97 / 134

DAS60 User’s Manual
One or several ASCII characters (0 to 32, decimal except 10 and 13).
– One or several pieces of data: (ex. :SPEED 1,MMS), alphanumeric, digital or compound of various characters or binary bytes.
– Data separator: A comma “,” possibly followed and/or preceded by one or several “filling” characters in ASCII code (0 to 32, decimal except 10 and 13).
Data: There are several types of data:
– Alphanumeric data: 1 to 12-character words that can be alphabetic (upper case or lower case), digital or “” (95d) coded under ASCII. Words always start with an alphabetic character. For example, for a non-digital parameter: S1M.
– Decimal digital data: Made of a mantissa and possibly of an exponent, and shown as a chain of ASCII characters starting with a cipher or a sign (+ or -). They are of NR1 (integer), NR2 (decimal) or NR3 type (with exponent) or of a combination of these three types.
– Text: Any chain of ASCII 7-bit characters between brackets (“) or apostrophes (‘). ex. “Channel 1”
Formats of emission messages Exchanges from a recorder to a controller to the recorder are made as messages made of a chain of ASCII characters (and possibly of binary bytes) with a message termination at the end. The format of emission messages is identical to the reception messages, although with a more rigid structure.
The syntax of an emission message is: Message unit + message termination.
Message unit: If the message includes several message units, they shall be separated by a semicolon “;”.
Message termination: – LF: Line Feed (10 in decimal format)
Syntax of a message unit:
A message unit (ex. TYP:THE J,COMP) is made of several fields:
– One header: (ex.TYP:THE) made of only one (simple header) or several (compounds header) chains of 1 to 12 alphanumeric characters (upper scale only or digital or “_” (code ASCII 95 in decimal format).

100 / 134

DAS60 User’s Manual
4 logs are used: – the service request log (STB) associated with its validation log. – the standard event log (ESR) associated with its validation log. The bits #0, 1, 2 and 7 of the STB log are available for use as sum-up messages specific to the device. Each of these bits can be associated to a structure of data with a defined pattern, which will manage the events in the device that may lead to a service request. The user may set up the recorder, so that it activates the bit #6 of the service request log in case of one or several specific events. Status of these logs at power-up: The content of the STB, ESR and alarm logs is systematically reset at power-up (except the bit #7 of the ESR that specifies a power-up).
101 / 134

Service request logs

DAS60 User’s Manual

Status log: It includes the status word of the device. You can read this status word thanks to the request with the “STB?” instruction. In this case, the bit #6 is MSS (Master Summary Status) that results from the logic operations as pictured in the figure below. Indeed, MSS is 1 when at least one of the other bits is 1 both in the status log and in the validation log.
Composition of the STB log: The bit #6 (value 64) contains the sum-up message “MSS” (reading with “STB?”).
The service request takes place in the following cases: – one bit of the status log of service request switches from 0 to 1, while the corresponding bit in
its validation log is 1, and vice versa – the bit #5 of the validation log of service request is 1; a standard event happens in the following
conditions: – one bit of the status log of standard events switches from 0 to 1, while the corresponding bit
in its validation log is 1 – one bit of the validation log of standard events switches from 0 to 1, while the
corresponding bit of its status log is 1 – the bit #0 of the validation log of service request is 1; a standard event happens in the
following conditions: – a bit of the status log of alarms switches from 0 to 1, while the corresponding bit in its
validation log is 1 – a bit of the validation log of alarms switches from 0 to 1, while the corresponding bit of its
status log is 1.
The bit #5 (ESB: Event Status Bit, value 32) contains the sum-up message of the status log of standard events (see the detail of these bits in the description of this log). Its status specifies whether one or several authorizes events have happened in the status log of standard events since its latest reset (an event is authorized if the corresponding bit in the validation log of events is 1).
The bit #4 (MAV: Message AVailable, value 16) contains the sum-up message of the output queue. Its status specifies whether a message or data from the device are ready for emission via the interface (ex: answer to a query instruction).
102 / 134

DAS60 User’s Manual
The bits #7, 3, 2, 1 and 0 are used to receive sum-up messages as defined by the device. In the case of the recorder, the bit #0 is used while the bits #1, 2, 3, 7 always remain 0. The bit #0 contains the sum-up message of the status log of alarms (see the detail of these bits in the description of this log). Its status specifies whether one or several authorized events have happened in the status log of alarms since its latest reset.
Validation log: The status word is associated to a validation log that makes it possible to manage the service request by allowing it only for some specific cases. When a bit is 1, it allows that the status 1 of the bit of same rank in the status log (STB) leads to the activation of the bit #6 of the same log. Writing the validation byte is made with the command SRE, where is the sum of the binary values of the bits 0 to 5 and 7. Reading the validation byte is made with the instruction SRE?. The answer is sent back under decimal format (NR1).

Log of standard events
Refer to the overview of the structures of status data. The structure of the logs of standard events is appended to the bit #5 of the log of service requests.

Status log: This log contains some specific standard messages, whose meaning is exposed hereafter. You can read its content with the command *ESR? Reading the log erases it.

The bits of the log of status of events are appended to specific events:

• bit #7:

POWER UP (value 128)

It shows that the device has been powered up

• bit #6:

REQUEST FOR USE (value 64)

Not used. Positioned to 0

• bit #5:

INSTRUCTION ERROR (value 32)

This bit shows that an unknown or wrong instruction has been sent to the recorder

• bit #4:

EXECUTION ERROR (value 16)

Not used. Positioned to 0

• bit #3:

DEVICE-LINKED ERROR (value 8)

Not used. Positioned to 0

• bit #2:

REQUEST ERROR (value 4)

This bit shows that the output queue is full and that the data is or may be lost

• bit #1:

CONTROL REQUEST (value 2)

Not used. Positioned to 0

• bit #0:

OPERATION COMPLETED (value 0)

Not used. Positioned to 0

An event is authorized if the corresponding bit in the validation log of events is 1.

Validation log: It manages the status log of standard events: When a bit of this log is 1, it authorizes that the status 1 of the bit of same rank in the status log of standard events leads to the switch to 1 of the bit #5 in the status log of service requests (STB). You can write in this log with the command *ESE where is the sum of the binary values of the validation log.
103 / 134

DAS60 User’s Manual You can read its content with the command “*ESE?”

Log of alarms
Refer to the overview of the structures of status data. The structure of the log of alarms is appended to the bit #0 of the log of service requests.

Log of status: This log contains some messages specific to the recorder, whose meaning is exposed hereafter. You can read its content with the command SRQ_TYPE? Reading the log erases it.

The bits of the status log of alarms are appended to specific events:

– bit #7:

TRIGGER DATA ACQUISITION MEMORY (value 128)

This bit shows that the trigger condition of a data acquisition into memory has been

achieved.

– bit #6:

END OF DATA ACQUISITION MEMORY (value 64)

This bit shows that a data acquisition into memory has been achieved.

– bit #5:

START OF DATA ACQUISITION MEMORY (value 32)

This bit shows that a data acquisition into memory has been launched.

– bit #4:

Not used (value 16)

– bit #3:

END OF PAPER (value 8)

This bit shows that there is no more paper in the printer.

– bit #2:

END OF WRITING (value 4)

This bit shows that a text writing is achieved: cartridge, text programmed with the

instruction WRIte (see dictionary of programming)…

– bit #1:

END OF PLOTTING (value 2)

This bit shows that a printing is achieved.

– bit #0:

START OF PRINTING (value 1)

This bit shows that a printing has started.

An event is authorized is the corresponding bit in the validation log of events is 1.

Validation log: It manages the status log of alarms: When a bit of this log is 1, it authorizes that the status 1 of the bit of same rank in the status log of alarms leads to the switch to 1 of the bit #0 of the status log of service requests (STB). You can write into this log with the command *SRQ_ENABLE where is the sum of the binary values of the validation log. You can read the log with “SRQ_ENABLE?”

Use of the status data structure
Before use, it is advisable to send the instruction CLS to the recorder to reset the status logs. The user must first set which events to detect by authorizing them in the validation log:
– with the instruction “SRQ_ENABLE n” for events in connection with the alarm logs – with the instruction “ESE n” for events in connection with the logs of standard events – with the instruction “*SRE n” for events in connection with the log of service requests.

Example:

104 / 134

DAS60 User’s Manual

Programming a request of service for: a start or an end of the paper print, an instruction error, the

presence of data at the output of the recorder, with the instructions:

SRQ_ENABLE 3

(Bit #0 and 1 to 1)

*ESE 32

(Bit #5 to 1)

*SRE 49

(Bit #0, 4 and 5 to 1)

The controller should regularly read the log of service requests with the instruction “*STB?”.

Switching of bit #6 (MSS) to 1 shows that an authorized event happened.

Reading the status word makes it possible to discover the type of event that happened. In the case of

a standard or specific event, you have to read the associated status log with the instructions

“*ESR?” or “SRQ_TYPE?” to precisely identify the event.

A standard event appeared. The instruction “*ESR?” is sent: Answer by the recorder: 160 (bit #7 and 5 to 1) Two events are shown (power up and instruction error) but the request of service has been caused by the instruction error only (the only authorized event in the validation log).

TRIG:LOG P1

P1,P2
Selection of trigger on logic channels P1 = sets the 16 values of the triggers; add a message delimiter (brackets)

TRIG:LOG “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX1″, AND
trigger on logic channel VL1

TRIG:CHan P1,P2,P3 TRIG:COm P1

P2 = AND or OR P1 = Number of the channel (1,2, etc.) P2 = Threshold (S1 or S2) P3 = POS or NEG
for rising edge or falling edge Selection of the type of com plex trigger

P1 = OR, AND or DELta means: one of the thresholds (OR) all thresholds (AND)
slope (DELta) TRIG:COm:DELta P1,P2 Selection of the slope

TR:CH 1,S1,EDGEP
Trigger on rising edge of channel 1 (threshold 1)
TRIG:CO DEL;CO:DEL 2,S;RESET; ADD 1,S1,POS; ADD 2,S1,NEG
2 thresholds (S1 on 1 and S1 on 2)

P1 = value (from 1 to 500) P2 = MICro, MILIsec, Sec, Min, Hours

TRIG:COm:REset

ON removes all channels

TRIG:COm:ADD P1,P2,P3
TRIG ?

Add a threshold to the trigger
P1 = Number of channel (1, 2 etc.) P2 = Threshold (S1 or S2) P3 = POS or NEG for rising edge or falling edge Returns the value of the selected trigger

The programmed trigger depends on the latest sent command (alarm, trigger start, stop, etc.).
