Configuring the Block Properties

Complete the following steps to adjust the block length and some other properties of the circular buffer.
  1. Search in your test for a group of type Initialization of variables using the name DCB_block_ length.SP.
    Figure 57. Searching for the Group Type
    1378
  2. Adjust the following parameters in this group:
    VariableDescription
    DCB_block_length.SP Maximum time span for recording a single block (file).
    DCB_blocks.SP Number of blocks that can exist in parallel.
    DCB_circular_diagnostic_buffer.CTL Activates the diagnostic circular buffer / can also be set over mapping interface e.g., by SeqCtrl_Anlage.STS .
    DCB_file_extension.SP.TXT File extension of the files in the default location.
    DCB_folder_name.SP.TXT Folder name for the default location of the circular buffer relative to ergX. Also the first part of file naming.
    DCB_LogLevel Debug level / level of detail logs. This should be Normal.
    DCB_measurement_file_size.MAX.SP Maximum file size. If this size is reached the next file is used.
    DCB_name.SP.TXT Name/description of a file/block.
    DCB_priority Defines order of execution in C2A context (range: 0, 1, 2, 3...).

    Default value: 0 ( = lowest priority and executed last).

    Order of execution: 1, 2, 3, 4.....0

    DCB_store_local.CTL

    On: Enable local storage instead of testXplorer upload.

    Off: Upload files to testXplorer.
