This is a working example of performing common tasks with the
Ionicon AME2.0 API, such as starting/stopping a Measurement,
creating/editing Actions, triggering them, collecting data in
realtime, et.c.
A running instance of the IoniConnect.API is required. This
may be an actual PTR-instrument or a local DEMO-server instance.
This assumes the AME_launcher has been installed with
- add peakdame to PATH
- create Desktop shortcut (DEBUG) checked. The installer can be run again to add these options.
(Otherwise, pd.exe is found in C:\Program Files\AME_launcher\_exec\python\Scripts)
Open a terminal or PowerShell and enter the following command: $ pd record extract -f
Note: A
D:drive must be attached!
This installs a .REPLAY-file and extracts into
C:\Ionicon\AME\RecipesD:\AMEData\<date-of-the-record>
Start the AME_launcher from the Desktop (DEBUG) shortcut to
launch into headless (i.e. w/o instrument attached) mode.
Each replay installed can now be selected from the main drop-down
menu and started with either a button click or an API call just
like a regular measurement.
Since this is a replay of a previously recorded measurement,
it naturally lacks some interactivity. Triggering an Action
will not work, however the Action-Editor will be functional.
Normally, each new measurement (and New-Folder-Action) will
create a directory in D:\AMEData with the current date-time
and then populate it with the measured data. Since this is a
replay, the date-time is frozen at the time of recording, even
though an (empty) measurement directory will be created.
