Vers. No. 1.082 Released: 2/12/20115 Configuration → Q.gate settingsSince the Test Controller can also operate as an FTP server andFTP client, the settings for sending e-mails, for example, can alsobe defined here. Further information on these parameters can befound in the System Guide Manual.5.8.3 SettingsUsing this parameter group you define, for example, life signs orthe location name.5.8.3.1 General sectionLocation Here, assign a name for the Test Controller.Buffer pre-initialization In the default setting Fast filling each measurement, which hasbeen transferred with a bit error, leads to an error: the measure-ment is set to -1 (default for Filling pattern) and the error coun-ter is set. This generally causes the test-rig to stop. In the settingDeactivated the previous measurement is also used for the pres-ent measurement. If the next measurement is alright again, mea-surement continues as normal. The error is however counted, butno alarm is triggered.Fill pattern Value which is used for a defective measurement (refer to Bufferpre-initialization).5.8.3.2 Life signalHere you specify the communication errors for which an errorsignal is to be set and whether it is to occur as a static signal ordynamically (switching between on and off with the I/O toggletime).5.8.3.3 SynchronizationSync. sample frequency If you are using several modules on various interfaces (UARTs),which operate at different measuring rates, for example becausenot all modules support the same measuring rate, then with thisparameter you can ensure that those values transferred over aninterface (UART) with a slow measuring rate are also synchro-nized to the time points at which a measurement is also presentthat has been acquired with a fast measuring rate (Fig. 5-6).
