DataPRO 1.3
User’s Manual
December 2016
SLICE and TDAS DAS are standalone data loggers. Once the DAS is armed, the PC can be disconnected if desired. (Power must remain connected, however.) After receiving a
Start Record or event (trigger) signal, the DAS autonomously collects data, storing it to memory with no user interaction. After the test, the user can reconnect the PC to download the data.
DataPRO includes a realtime mode that allows the user to check channel inputs on an oscilloscope-style screen. Note: DataPRO cannot simultaneously display the data while the
system is recording.
Three data collection modes are supported: Circular Buffer, Recorder and Hybrid.
In Circular Buffer mode, the user can program the DAS to record pre- and post-trigger data.
Time Zero (T=0) is marked when the trigger signal is received.
Recorder mode starts when a Start Record signal is received and continues for the time specified in the test setup. If a trigger signal is received some time after the Start Record, this is marked as T=0.
Hybrid recorder mode starts when a Start Record signal is received, continues until the unit receives a trigger signal, after which it records for the post-trigger time specified by the host software. The trigger signal marks Time Zero (T=0) and all data recorded is available for download. Note: This mode is not available in SLICE PRO Gen2 hardware.
SLICE and TDAS equipment support different sampling rates. For this reason, DataPRO will enable only the sampling rate(s) that all equipment can support. Additionally, TDAS G5 DAS,
TDAS PRO TOM and all SLICE DAS will record all channels even if they are not programmed, so these unused channels must be included when calculating recording time.

To determine the recording time possible, use the equation below:
December 2016
Samples available
Sampling rate (sps) X number of channels
= number of seconds
Example 1: 10,000 sps using a 9-channel SLICE NANO/MICRO stack
3,240,000,000
10,000 X 9
= 36,000 sec (10 hours)
Example 2: 25,000 sps using an 18-channel SLICE PRO SIM
7,500,000,000
25,000 X 18
= 16,667 sec (4.63 hours)
Example 3: 20,000 sps using 6 channels of a 16 MB TDAS PRO SIM
8,000,000
20,000 X 6
= 66 sec
SLICE PRO Circular Buffer Limitations
Due to the nature of flash memory, the system cannot be armed in Circular Buffer mode indefinitely. To determine the maximum time available in Circular Buffer mode, use the equation below:
0.8
recording time = maximum time available in Circular Buffer mode
Example:
0.8
8,333 sec = 6,666 sec (111 minutes)
In this example, the test must occur within 111 minutes, after which time the unit stops recording data.

<Channels>
December 2016
The Channels tag contains a list of channel elements. It should have the same number of entries as NumberOfChannels in the Module tag. The type of the child elements will depend on the type of channel.
<AnalogInputChanel>
The AnalogInputChanel tag is used for any DAS input channel (analog or digital). (Note:
There is a typo in the tag name and “Chanel” is misspelled. It has been retained for backward compatibility.) Many of the attributes indicate how the channel was configured during the test. The AnalogInputChanel element has the following properties:

DataPRO 1.3
User’s Manual
December 2016
After installing DataPRO, modify the following options in the DataPRO.exe.config file found in the C:\DTS\DataPRO\<version> folder:
1. Set DBType to 0 (the default when installed is 1 which causes DataPRO to use a local
SQLite database).
2. Set LocalDbHost to the address where SQL Server is installed (either an IP address or a hostname that resolved to that IP a ddress). The config file initially contains “your db host here” for this option.
3. If you want to use Windows authentication when accessing the SQL Server database and avoid the need to use a clear-text password (LocalDBPassword in the
DataPRO.exe.config file), set UseNTLMAuthentication to True (the default is False) and
add the Windows user(s) as SQL Server Login(s) (see Instructions for Adding a Windows
User as a SQL Server Login below).
Then, to create the initial, blank DataPRO database, run DataPROCreationScript_3.0.sql in
SQL Server Management Studio. This script can be found in your
C:\DTS\DataPRO\<version>\SQL Server Scripts folder.
If connectivity fails when you run DataPRO, ensure that the LocalDBPassword option in the
DataPRO.exe.config file matches the password that was used when setting up
DataPROUser in SQL Server (or, if UseNTLMAuthentication is True, that SQL Server allows the user
’s login), and that the server’s firewall allows access to SQL Server.
