variable to increase filename

[pbrm]

In SignalExpress (great product!) we use the "save as next available filename" extensively,
but sometimes (most of the time in our case) it would be useful to be able to adjust the number
that SE uses to increase the filenamenumber, EG:

if we save say motor.1000 and we make a next measurement at 1100 rpm it would be nice to
be able to adjust the increment say for example 100, so the next measurement would be at 1100, then
at 1200, 1300 and so on.

Could this be achieved?

Also, maybe better, say we take the rms value of the speed (we could measure that signal) then
automaticaly take a measurement on a calculated value, i believe there is a possibility to do something
event related, but they all function on a signal I beleive and not on a calculated value of a signal.

Is there a dedicated suggestion board for suggesting some "customer wishes" to SignalExpress or is
this the best way to do it?

O and one little thing, we can choose to display a result as different ways, charts, gauges, meters, table,
and even "large display" but it would be useful to be able to just display as an textvalue, so
I could wirte in the documentation "the rms value is :  VALUE " (tip for version2.1 🙂 )

I am sure SE will be a success, it is a very productive tool!

Hi,

Thank you so much for your feedback. There is an official way for you to make suggestions through the Product Suggestion Center. Although this is a also a fine place to make product suggestions, for the reason that someone else may have already found a suitable way to do what you want, and share that with you.

I don't believe that there is currently a way to increment the file name as you asked by providing the step with a "start filename value" and "increment", but this is an excellent suggestion!

For your last suggestion of having a viewer which just displays the text value, the only workaround that I was able to do in the meantime (and forgive me if it sounds silly), was to:

1. show the RMS value in the documentation tab,

2) place your cursor in front of the displayed value and under the Documentation top-menu option select "Set Object Size...",

3) set the size to be something like width=5, height=0.5 inches.

4) rename the RMS signal to "The rms value is".

If you make the Object Size small enough, the text should appear on a single line and appear how you wanted it. Problem is that you now have an output called "The rms value is"...

Thank you again for your excellent suggestions and feedback.
