Description

The LANDSCAN interface can be used to measure data from LAND (Ametek) temperature line scanners. Up to 2 devices or connections are supported with an interface license. In total, a maximum of 8 licenses (=16 devices) can be used. The scanners generate 1000 samples per line and they can scan at up to 150 lines per second. The scanners can send their data in ASCII or binary mode. Both modes are supported by ibaPDA, while the binary mode is more efficient and is therefore recommended if the scanner supports it. Older versions of the scanners only support ASCII mode.
Interface configuration

The interface itself has the following functions and configuration possibilities:

Set all values to zero when the connection to a device is lost

If enabled, all measured values of the LANDSCAN-device are set to zero as soon as the connection is lost. If this option is disabled, ibaPDA keeps the last valid measured value in the memory at the time the connection was lost.

Start acquisition even if a device is not accessible

If this option is enabled, the acquisition will start even if the LANDSCAN device is not accessible. Instead of an error message, an alert is prompted in the validation dialog. If the system had been started without a connection to the device, ibaPDA periodically tries to connect to the device.

Connection table

The table shows the cycle times and error counters of the individual connections during data measurement. To reset the calculated times and error counters to zero, simply click on the <Reset statistics> button.
