• Data objects– True DateTime object

(“ticks”)– Value

• Asynchronous, data logging

• Underlying loggingarchitecture– Data file + Conf file

• RTS = register time series• AVP = add value pair

– Col 1: receiver tick– Col 2: command (here: AVP)– Col 3: number of target time series– Col 4: measurement tick– Col 5: value

em Data Analyzer

• Main idea– link two (or more) measurements– move single timeseries to make them comparable– Create new measurement synopsis– Export to CSV (for further processing)

• Data Analyzer vs. Live Viewer– DA works with existing data– LV accepts data in the background, presents live updates

em Integrating YOUR hardware!

• New hardware / integration possibilities

need for new objects and new commands

Process:

1. DLL with connection to external hard/software

2. DLL registers itself (with methods) at the JINT engine

3. Add wanted functionality to your script

4. Ready ….

• Principle holds true for all TopCon objects Future adaptability and extensibility guaranteed

Examples: Temperature sensor, climate chamber, ...
