If the VES-700 Multi-Channel Data Acquisition option is authorized by your ME'scope license, the following commands are enabled in the Acquisition window.  Check Help | About to verify authorization of this option

Acquisition Window.

This chapter contains descriptions of all of the commands in an Acquisition window. The Acquisition window is used for;

1. Setting up a third party multi-channel hardware acquisition front end and acquiring fixed length blocks of digitized time waveforms from it

2. Post-processing blocks of time waveforms and calculating most of the popular single-channel and cross-channel measurement functions

3. Displaying Operating Deflection Shapes (ODS's) directly from measurement data on a 3D model in a connected Structure window

Graphics Areas & Spreadsheets

The Acquisition window contains a graphics area on the left, and tabs and spreadsheets on the right.

• A vertical blue splitter bar separates the graphics area from the M#s spreadsheet

• A vertical red splitter bar separates the graphics area & M#s spreadsheet on the left from the tabs and Channels spreadsheet on the right

• A horizontal blue splitter bar separates the upper & lower graphics areas on the left

• The upper graphics area displays the time waveforms acquired from an acquisition front end

• The lower graphics area displays calculated waveforms such as FRFs, Coherences, etc.

• Click & drag the vertical blue splitter bar horizontally in the window to make the graphics areas or the M#s spreadsheet larger

Menu Commands

Menu command descriptions are ordered by command menu (from left to right), and then by the commands in each menu (from top to bottom).

• Each menu command is executed by choosing it from its command menu, or by clicking on its Tool if it is on a Toolbar
