5.7.3.10 Online and Offline ModeScope is available in online and offline mode.When operating in Online mode, the full Scopefunctionality is available, including configuring andperforming traces on the device. Offline mode offers thepossibility to open, view, and analyze saved traces.When operating in Online mode, the Scope sub-tool usesthe trace signal description directly from the device; whenusing Offline mode, Scope uses the local Toolbox configu-ration instead.When going online with the device or starting Scope for adevice that is already online, the trace signal descriptionand sampling rates are automatically downloaded from thedevice and updated. Furthermore, the device is automat-ically checked for available trace data.For Offline devices, the local ISD Toolbox configuration isused to show the sampling rates.5.7.3.11 Reports, Document Exporting, andPrintingFor documentation and printing purposes, the Scope offersa trace reporting functionality that generates a printableview of the trace. It also facilitates export to a PDF orspreadsheet file, and direct printing.Illustration 5.35 Scope Report5.7.3.12 Multi-device ScopeThe Multi-device scope sub-tool itself looks similar to thesingle scope sub-tool, but has a list of devices inside thetool strip. While tracing, an additional window shows thestatus for all selected devices.It is also possible to trace signals across different devices.Therefore every channel has an additional drop-down boxwhere the device can be selected for each channel.The result of all traces is shown in the same diagram (seeIllustration 5.36).Illustration 5.36 Result of All TracesIt is possible to mix tracing across different device types,so it is possible to trace, for example, the power of an SABtogether with the position of a servo drive.There are different possibilities available for triggering (seeIllustration 5.37):Off No triggering takes place. The devices involved all doan individual trace. They start immediately after theRun button has been pressed. The first sample ofdevice 1 is not necessarily taken at exactly the sametime as the first sample of device 2. There is a shortdelay between the devices.Separate All devices involved trigger individually but on thesame signal. This signal must be available on allinvolved devices. Therefore, the Scope reduces thetrigger signals to these signals that are available on alldevices (also across device types!) that are involved inthe tracing.SingleeventThe trigger condition on 1 single device is configured.As soon as this event occurs, all other devices triggertoo. The devices that listen to the triggering devicetake their first sample with a short delay as the triggerevent must first be communicated. However, theirtraces are taken at exactly the same time.Illustration 5.37 Multi-device Scope – TriggeringOperation with ISD Toolbox Programming GuideMG36D102 Danfoss A/S © 01/2017 All rights reserved. 1315 5
