First steps ********************************************************** .. figure:: /Images/WinIt/WinIt_General.png :scale: 40 % :align: center WinIt with connected Logger, GPS2CAN antenna and DashTFT Introduction ========================================================== The program *WinIt* is the 2D tool to communicate between computer and 2D Logger, Dashboard and all other modules for setting them up or to download data from **internal** logger memory. The communication can be done the following ways: - via USB-cable (COM) - via Wi-Fi (2D modules with built-in Wi-Fi interface) - via Ethernet (2D modules with Ethernet interface) *WinIt* is started by pressing on *WinARace*-button **Communication** or by pressing **F2**. .. important:: In **WinARace**-Settings, it can be choosen what should happen if WinARace detects that a 2D module is connected (open WinIt, start download, do nothing). .. important:: Beside only adapting setting of loaded 2D Logger, Dashboard or other modules, in *WinIt* the module setting files (.LDD-files) can be opened and modified! .. figure:: /Images/WinIt/Areas.png :scale: 40 % :align: center WinIt without loaded modules or settings ...Beschreibung Setting file (.LDD).... ...SAFTEY bei jedem einlesn setting gespeichert.... Main window ========================================================== The main window consists of four main areas: - Menu strip and toolbar - System tree - Detail area - Status bar .. figure:: /Images/WinIt/WinIt_General.png :scale: 40 % :align: center WinIt with connected Logger, GPS2CAN antenna and DashTFT System tree ---------------------------------------------------------- .. figure:: /Images/WinIt/SystemTree.png :scale: 60 % :align: center WinIt - System Tree .. Aufbau Setting in verschiedene Subtrees (Interfaces, Channels, Tables) die dann nochmal in untergruppen unterteilt sind Menu strip and toolbar ---------------------------------------------------------- .. figure:: /Images/WinIt/MenuStrip.png :scale: 40 % :align: center WinIt - Menu strip and Toolbar Menu strip ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. figure:: /Images/WinIt/MenuStrip_only.png :scale: 40 % :align: center WinIt - Menu strip File ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' - **Load device from file:** Starts the dialog to search/select files - **Save device in file:** Saves the setting of the currently selected device - **Save subtree in file:** Saves only the currently selected sub-tree (Interfaces, Channels, Tables) as file - **Save device for compare:** Compare two settings - **Save whole system:** Saves the settings of the complete system .. - **Load measurement/calibration:** Opens the dialog to select a channel setting of a measurement. If you change the settings of a channel there, this will influence the data shown in Analyzer. - **Load Sensorlist:** Loads a channel list with default 2D sensor channel settings - **Load Standardsystem:** Loads .. - **Import:** Imports channel settings via CAN-DB, ASAP2 (A2L), ASAP2 (A2L) for CCP or Calculation channels definition - **Exports:** Exports the channel settings as CAN-DB or Calculation channels definition .. - **Exit**: Close WinIt .. important:: In tab *File* also a list of last 10 in WinIt loaded settings is shown! Device ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' - **Find:** Start search routine. WinIt will look for a system or module, which is not yet visible in the system tree - **Remove device:** Selected device or setting will be removed from system tree - **Remove system:** Selected system will be removed from system tree - **Remove all systems:** All systems will be removed from system tree .. - **Load latest setting for device:** For currently selected device a list of settings (see here) is shown to load latest settings of this device - **Load file and send to device:** Select setting file and directly send to currently selected device - **Load reset file for temperature compensation:** - **Automatic Zero Setting:** Start Zero Setting routine (for more information click here) Graphic ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' - **a**: - **b**: - **c**: - **d**: Specials ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' - **Countdown:** Set, Start and Stop Timer which can be displayed in Detail area when no module or setting is read in - **Manual decompress:** please refer to the WinIt manual on how to manually decompress recorded data - **Switch memory dump:** Switches from normal download function to memory dump. Please refer to the WinIt manual for further information. - **Reset to permanent setting:** Resets the module to the previously saved permanent settings - **Reset to factory defaults:** Resets the module to the factory defaults - **Reset WiFi Module:** - **Fix loggeraddresses:** Define a new communication address for the module. Please refer to the WinIt manual for further information. - **Update firmware:** Starts the firmware update process - **Send dealer setting to device:** Option to send a dealer setting to a module - **Send factory setting to device:** Option to send a factory setting to a module - **Build stream blocks for upload:** - **Make current setting permanent:** Function to save a setting as a permanent setting to the module - **Search devices over TCP/IP:** Starts the search for 2D modules which are connected to the PC via TCP/IP - **Scan COM-Ports:** Starts the search for 2D modules which are connected to the PC via USB Options ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' - **Poll communication ports:** This activates or deactivates the communication. If the polling is activated and a system connected, WinIt checks once a second if a device is still connected. If not, the icon in the system tree changes. In addition the channel values are updated through polling. - **Auto-Update:** The memory usage shown by WinIt is the usage at the moment of the login procedure. If the device is still recording, the recording is normally not updated. To update the memory usage, enable this function. The software will check it once a second and update the memory information and bar. - **Auto-Download:** This is used to change from setting mode to auto-download mode. While in auto-download mode, WinIt periodically checks all active ports for 2D devices. If devices are found, the download starts immediately. - **Language:** Select the language - **Stream logger options:** - **Settings:** This opens settings window which is described in another chapter (!!!Link!!!)
