AD74413R Instrument - Scopy SWIOT1L plugin

Overview

The AD74413R tool is only available in the runtime mode, along with the MAX14906 tool and the Faults tool. It represents the main interface for the AD74413R chip and it dynamically shows all the channels configured for that device. For each channel we can read/write data through this interface using the libiio library.

The possible functions of an AD74413R channel are as follows: high_z, voltage_out, current_out, voltage_in, current_in_ext, current_in_loop, resistance, digital_input, digital_input_loop, current_in_ext_hart and current_in_loop_hart. For each selected function, one or two channels will be generated within the device context, which will be used for communication with the physical channel.

Only the buffered input channel data can be displayed on the plot, and in the case where a function generates both an input and an output channel, the advanced menu will be associated with the output channel or both channels. The channels generated according to the selected function are as follow:

Function Input Channel Output Channel
high_z Voltage In -
voltage_out Current In Voltage Out
current_out Voltage In Current Out
voltage_in Voltage In -
current_in_ext Current In -
current_in_loop Current In Current Out
resistance Resistance -
digital_input Voltage In -
digital_input_loop Voltage In Current Out
current_in_ext_hart Current In -
current_in_loop_hart Current In Current Out

Instrument layout

1. Run button

  • The run button will start an acquisition task that will collect data from the active input channels.
  • The acquisition task will stop upon user intervention.
  • The data acquisition frequency is set by the user through the settings menu.
  • All the data will be displayed on the plot.

2. Single Button

  • The single button will start a single capture acquisition for all the active input channels.
  • The acquisition task will stop once all the data is acquired and displayed on the plot.

3. Settings Button

  • Show/Collapse the menu of general settings.

4. Advanced Menu Button

  • Show/Collapse the advanced menu of the channels.
  • Each channel is associated with an advanced menu through which various attributes can be modified.
  • Here is displayed the menu of general settings, as well as the advanced menu for each channel.

6. Channels list

  • The functions assigned to each channel are displayed here.
  • The functions with indices from 1 to 4 are correlated with the physical channels on the board.
  • 5 to 8 indices are correlated with the diagnostic channels.
  • When a channel is selected, it is highlighted.

7. Plot

  • Display data from all the active channels.
  • Display the number of units per vertical division.
  • Display the instant value for all channels.

8. Info button

  • Save the plot with the data and channels into a PDF file.

10. Config button

  • When pressing the config button, Scopy will switch the SWIOT1L mode to config. The device will briefly disconnect and then reconnect. After that it will automatically display the Config Instrument.

Channel item layout

1. Enable button

  • Enable/Disable a channel.
  • If a channel is disabled, it will no longer be displayed on the plot and data will not be acquired for it.

2. Channel function name

  • Show/Collapse the advanced menu of the selected channel.

Plot Layout

1. Drawing area for the curves

  • Each input channel has a corresponding curve on the plot.

2. Curves handle area

  • Each curve is associated with a handle through which we can position the curves at different values on the Y-axis.

3. Acquisition status

  • Display the number of acquired samples and the rate at which these samples are acquired.
  • The samples per second (SPS) is calculated based in the frequency and the number of enabled channels.
  • If you hover the info button you will find all the necessary information.

General settings layout

1. Acquisition settings section

  • Sampling frequency represents the frequency at which data is acquired.
  • It is a property shared by all the available channels.
  • Available options: 10, 20, 1200, 4800.
  • The plot timespan can be set between 100 ms and 10 s.

2. Export section

  • It provides the possibility to export data corresponding to the activated input channels into a CSV file.
  • You can choose the channels for which data will be exported.

3. Arrow button

  • The menu can be detached and reattached by pressing the arrow button in the top right corner.
