ControlDesk Next Generation - No data are visible in the plotter

Keywords

Plotter; Data Acquisition

Question

No data are visible in the plotter even though the measurement is running. What can I do?

Solution

If no data are visible in the plotter even though the measurement is running, this might have the following reasons:

1. The data are measured but the plotter does not display them. This might happen if the start trigger for the plotter visualisation is not fired.

2. For dSPACE platforms only: The trigger of the raster used for the visualized signals is not fired. The raster then does not transmit any data.

Start trigger is not fired

Change the trigger assignment of the plotter.

Right-click on the Triggered Visualisation button in the plotter and select a suitable trigger configuration by selecting the corresponding raster. In the context menu the plotter offers a list of those rasters that are currently used in this plotter for visualisation. When you move the mouse over the different raster entries without clicking, the plotter shows a preview of the resulting configuration.

Note: This feature was introduced with ControlDesk Next Generation 4.1.

Alternatively, left-click on the Triggered Visualisation button in the plotter to enable / disable triggered visualisation.

Note: In ControlDesk Next Generation 4.0 a double-click is required.

The raster then does not transmit any data

Check the trigger configuration of the raster used for the desired signal.

Check if the trigger condition can become true for the referenced signal. To see the current value of the variable in the plotter, disable the trigger. Alternatively, visualize the variable in a numeric display instrument. For dSPACE platforms, numeric display instruments show the current values of a variable even if measurement is not running or not configured correctly.
