Measurement Computing eZ-TOMAS rev.11.0 - Manual (Page 20)

Starting an Acquisition
After you configure your eZ-TOMAS Project, click the <Acquisition> Toggle Switch to
place it in the upright position. This starts the data acquisition. The switch is located in the
in the lower left corner of the eZ-TOMAS gauge window.
When acquisition is active, real time overall values are displayed in the instrument gauges.
The toggle switch is green while data acquisition is active.
To stop data acquisition, click the switch toggling it down (red).
Viewing Spectral Bands
The Main Window’s gauges can be used to display different spectral bands. On the View menu select the
band of interest, e.g., Overall, DC Gap V, 1x Amp, 1x Phase, or one of the User Defined bands. Note that
selecting 1x Amp or 1x Phase results in two gauge types. In both cases vertical gauges will display for
1x Amplitude and circular phase gauges will display for 1x Phase. This is done automatically since the two
spectral bands are closely related.
