The available diagnostic signals are automatically generated in the Analog and Digital tabs.

The signals are all enabled by default.

The signals are grouped by connection type:

  • Fast Stream: connection diagnostics of the measurement signals

  • Slow Stream: connection diagnostics of diagnostic, status and additional signals

  • Output Stream: connection diagnostics of the output signals

Examples of diagnostic signals:

Description

Ping time (actual)

analog

A feature of the connection quality for the Ethernet:

In regular operation, a ping to the ibaNet-E device is performed every one second and the measured time is displayed here.

The shorter this time is, the better the connection quality and the more reliable the data transmission.

For the synchronization at the start of the acquisition and sporadically during the acquisition, this ping is performed at a much higher frequency.

Time offset

analog

Measured time difference of synchronicity between ibaPDA and the ibaNet-E device

Lost images

analog

Number of lost images that were not received even after a retransmission

Synchronization

digital

The device is synchronized for isochronous acquisition.

This is always mandatory at the start of data acquisition, but can also be performed sporadically during data acquisition.
