Sync¶

This element can be used once, if some customization of the synchronization inputs or outputs of the devices used in the measurement is required. If not specified, an automatic setup, as defined by OXYGEN, will be used.

<Sync [autoSetup="bool|true"]>
    <Enclosure .../>*
</Sync>

autoSetup: Control automatic sync configuration between nodes and their enclosures for non-standard use-cases.

<Enclosure [node="string|LocalNode"] [index="unsigned|0"]>
    [<SyncInput>
        <Mode>string</Mode>
        [<.../>]
    </SyncInput>]

    <SyncOutput name="string">*
        <Mode>string</Mode>
        [<.../>]
    </SyncOutput>
</Enclosure>

node: Name of one of the devices listed in <Nodes>. The <Local/> entry can be referenced using the name “LocalNode”, but this is also the default value if the attribute is not specified.

index: Zero-based index of the enclosure on the selected node.

SyncOutput.name: Name of the sync output connector

<SyncInput> and <SyncOutput> contain all the relevant settings for the given sync feature. <Mode> is manatory, and specifies the operation mode. Depending on this setting and the hardware capabilities addition parameters can be specified using the same syntax.

Here is an example of a sync output configuration:

<SyncOutput name="SyncOutAux">
    <Mode>TRION/Aux</Mode>
    <Frequency>12345 Hz</Frequency>
    <ContinuousOutput>False</ContinuousOutput>
</SyncOutput>

Available settings¶

The supported connectors, modes and parameters can be discovered on the sync settings page in OXYGEN when using the english localization.

Either the internal (“SyncOutAux”) or connector (“AUX”) names can be use to select sync outputs.

The supported modes for each connector are represented by the radio buttons and the label text is usually the string that has to be used in the XML. There are a few exceptions, where the XML value differs from the label:

Option Trion (SYNC I/O): XML TRION/DEWE2SyncIO

Option Trion (SYNC OUT): XML TRION/DEWE2SyncOut

Option Frequency (AUX): XML TRION/Aux
