For description of the Vision Log Viewer Icons, see Vision Log Viewer.
Archive
Save the current database to a different directory location. Click to open the Browse For Folder dialog. Click a folder or Make a New Folder to place the archive database. Click OK. This makes a copy of the active database, but new traces are still added to the old database.
Compress
Compresses the data in the database file. It removes the unused space created by the deletion of old traces from the database. If Vision software seems to be running unusually slow, compacting the database may be necessary.
Trim
Removes old traces from the database immediately. Does the same thing as the Automatically remove old traces check box, except without waiting. The “trimmed” database is also compressed.
Database Path
Displays the directory location of the current database. Click the folder to enter a different database. This will not create a new database, but will point Vision Acquire to a different existing database for future data storage.
Probe Process Status Indicator
The Probe Process Status Indicator bar provides a visual indicator of the Vision Acquire UI to indicate if a probe is off-line or in use. The Process Status indicator descriptions are as follows:
Green, Green: All remote probes are on-line and available.
Green, Yellow: All probes are on-line, but one or more is occupied by another
user.
Red, Green: One or more remote probes are currently off-line, but all the probes that are on-line are available.
Red, Yellow: At least one probe is off-line, and of the probes that are on-line, at least one of the remote probes is occupied by another user.
Sweep Once
Makes an immediate single sweep of the remote spectrum monitors.
Automatically archive trace tables
Check to archive the trace tables into the database. Click on the Archive every time-interval drop-down list. Click either 3 hours or 6 hours for archiving the trace tables. Next Archive will notify you when the next archiving process will take place.
Automatically remove old traces
Check to remove old traces from the database. Old traces are removed once each day following the first data collection after 6:00 am.
Logical Processors
This is the number of processors in the computer used to collect traces. Data collection is very processor intensive. The more processors used, the lighter the workload on the computer.
Max number of threads selection
This is the number of traces to be collected during the data collection period. The number of threads represents the number of probes under simultaneous communication. It cannot be more than the number of probes in the database.
