Phases

In Analyzer in Moving window and areas

Phases are used to generate a TRUE/FALSE result in the Analyzer with the help of different, self-configurable conditions, which can be used for optical marking. In addition, [ALT + Arrow left] and [ALT + Arrow right ] can be used to jump back and forth between phases, e.g., to compare channel values quickly and easily.

Furthermore, it is very useful to use phase to quickly analyze ECU error bits.

If Phase definition is pressed under Measurement in the Analyzer, a phase configuration window opens (see Phases configuration window)

Important

Instead of opening Measurement tab and click on Phases definition also shortcut [SHIFT]+[P] can be used in Analyzer!

The phases for moving window and areas are switched on and off via Measurement -> Show phases.

Important

Instead of opening Measurement tab and click on Phases to acitvate phases, also shortcut [P] can be used in Analyzer!

Example

Phase condition: V_GPS > 200 km/h:

Red Phase active lines are also shown in Overview window!

Attention

Since WinARace 2022 the phases conditions settings can be saved in currently used template!

In Plots, Exports, MinMax, …

Besides using phases for quick data overview, they can be also used in many other functions of the Analyzer, such as Export, MinMax tables, X-Y plots, histograms to only use/visualize a defined set of measurement data for the functions!

If phases are activated in the Analyzer functions via tick-box, the phases configuration window can be opened via phases button beside the tick-box:

Configuration window

Important

Phases configuration window is same for Analyzer and Analyzers functions!

Under Available conditions, various conditions are available, which are added to the Active conditions by double-clicking. If you click on a condition in the Active condition area, the respective condition can be set in the right part of the window. Of course, more than one condition can be added to the active conditions.

Laps/Selection

Current Lap: Considering data only from current lap
Current selection: Considering data only from current moving window selection
All laps without in/out: Considering data from all laps despite in and out lap
Selection in all laps without in/out: Considering data only from current moving window selection despite in and out lap
Fastest lap: Considering data only from fastest lap

Range

Considering only data based on Meters,*Seconds* or Scan selection.

Channel dependent

_images/Channel.png — Channel dependent

Considering data only when value of selected channel is inside lower and upper limit.

Phase condition logic

The respective linking of the active conditions takes place in the Phase condition logic part, in which it is decided according to which method (AND, OR or event-based) the active conditions are to be linked. Only one type of link can be selected here!

Delete phases

Furthermore, Delete phases can be used to enter a time from the start of the measurement for either one phase (in the right-hand window) or for the result of all phases (in the lower part of the configuration window) for which the phase or the result is FALSE.

Preview

The button Preview can be used to open the preview window, which explains the various conditions:

_images/Phases_AND.png — Phases condition - AND

_images/Phases_OR.png — Phases condition - OR

_images/Phases_CreateEvents.png — Phases condition - Create events

By clicking on Close the respective phases configuration is saved!
