PC-Tool User Manual

for NV/NVF Series Actuators

Select the type of the connected sensor with the radio buttons. The value is either displayed in

volts (active), ohms (passive) or as on/off (switch).

The transformation table allows you to additionally convert the raw value of the sensor into the

corresponding measuring quantity (temperature etc…). (See the "Transformation table" section

in the General User Manual)

4.3 Trend recording

During simulation, the time progress of the setpoints and actual values can be displayed in a

plot. The values are saved in a trend file and can be displayed again at a later time. Furthermore,

you can add any comment texts you would like.

In the PC-Tool options "General", you determine whether the trend file is automatically saved

when the recording is finished (checkbox not selected) or whether the program should ask you.

The suggested file name can be modified before saving the file.

Click the "Trend Record" button during simulation. The display changes to a "flat" button. The

recording stops when you click again.

The Trend View radio buttons allow you to set whether the display is given in percent of the full

rotation range (%) or in volts (V).

The position is queried every second by default. You can change the query interval in an input

box. The permitted values are 0 to 9999 seconds, whereby the value 0 means "no waiting time"

(query as quickly as possible).
