EG353 Logger Software

Use to collect performance data over a period of time. This includes temperature, output monitors and diagnostic data.

Once installed, launch the application from the ‘start button’

Screenshot:

Instructions:
Application will AutoDetect the EG353 on start-up
Make sure the COM port is not in use
Set demands and wait for the output to settle
Click ‘Start Logging’ to collect data
Finish by clicking ‘Stop Logging’ button
All data is written to a timestamped CSV file in the ‘Documents’ directory under the users local profile. “C:\Users\<<username>>\Documents”

Description of CSV fields:
*_va = voltage actual
*_mv = voltage monitor
*_im = current monitor

For Engineering use only
*_fa = frequency actual
*_fm = frequency monitor (Stack PWM frequency. Beam and Extractor only)
*_ph = Phase difference (0.0 = Stack is working at optimal PWM frequency. Beam and Extractor only)

TIPS:

For better graph visualisation, don’t change demands while logging

Datplot is recommended for graphing large datasets

To greatly increase the poll rate, change the latency setting to 1ms from Device Manager:
Ports (COM & LTP) -> USB Serial Port (COM??) -> Right Click, Properties -> Port Settings -> Advanced -> Latency Timer (msec) -> 1ms
