I programmed a Data-PlugIn for a application specific file format.
These files contain 4 channels of binary data, which are directly memorized from 4 seperate 12-Bit A/D-converters.
(see example 3 of DIAdem DataPlugIn-Help)
Option Explicit
Sub ReadStore(File)
'Create Block. This is a binary file format.
Dim Block : Set Block = File.GetBinaryBlock()
'Add four channels to the block.
Dim Channel1 : Set Channel1 = Block.Channels.Add("Channel1", eI32)
Dim Channel2 : Set Channel2 = Block.Channels.Add("Channel2", eI32)
Dim Channel3 : Set Channel3 = Block.Channels.Add("Channel3", eI32)
Dim Channel4 : Set Channel4 = Block.Channels.Add("Channel4", eI32)
'Create a channel group in USI
Dim ChannelGroup : Set ChannelGroup = Root.ChannelGroups.Add("MyChannelGroup")
'Add the channels from above to the new channel group.
ChannelGroup.Channels.AddDirectAccessChannel(Channel1)
ChannelGroup.Channels.AddDirectAccessChannel(Channel2)
ChannelGroup.Channels.AddDirectAccessChannel(Channel3)
ChannelGroup.Channels.AddDirectAccessChannel(Channel4)
End Sub
My question now is, whether it is possible to tell DIAdem which measurement range corresponds to the steps of the A/D-converter.
What I imagined was to write into the first 4 bytes of the file format a specific factor, which will be read out by the DIAdem Data-Plugin.
After that DIAdem should divide the 4096 A/D-steps with that factor, so you can see the real voltage of the measured signal in "DIAdem-View".
Does anyone know how to implement that issue?
Thanx for your replies,
Markus
