Modify Instrumentation

(Standard Interface) Right-click component → Modify            Shared Dialog Box
Defines a instrumentation. Learn about Instrumentation.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Instrumentation
Enter the Database name of an Instrumentation.
Tips on Entering Object Names in Text Boxes.
Sensor Type
Display type of sensor.
Tire Compression
Display whether tire compression is active or not if sensor type is Stringpot
If sensor type is Stringpot and tire compression is active then it enables the following options:
Laser Properties
Inside Offset Location
Enter wheel carrier location from wheel center location.
Outside Offset location
Enter body side location from wheel center location.
Mass
Enter mass of the following laser assembly parts:
■Platform
■Data cable
■Inside Laser
■Outside Laser
■Anti Rotation Support
If sensor type is Velocity is selected then it enables the following options:
Ay Calculation Method
Option is only available when sensor type Velocity selected.
Select one of the following:
■Corrected for roll and pitch. Ay in body frame, corrected with respect to roll and pitch (Ay as Adams measures)
■Uncorrected for roll and pitch. Ay in body frame, uncorrected (Ay as an accelerometer would measure)
This will calculate lateral acceleration (an additional request "vehicle statistics" added at I location) with and without accelerometer gravity effect.
By default (option 1) the acceleration is output without gravity effects. This acceleration is measured in the body reference frame. Option 2 corresponds to acceleration as an accelerometer would measure. This value is higher than that from option 1, because it contains an additional component due to angular orientation of the body, roughly equal to sin(Roll).
Active
Select one of the following:
■Yes: Instrumentation is active.
■No: Instrumentation is not active.
Symmetric
Enabled when you modify component pairs (or brothers):
■yes - Modify properties of both components in a pair.
■no - Only modify properties of the selected component.
When you modify a single component, this option is disabled because a single component is by nature asymmetric.
Select to display a dialog box where you can add multi-line comments to any entity, to describe its purpose and function. Your template-based product displays different comments dialog boxes, depending on the entity type for which you want to record comments:
■If recording comments for modeling entities in Standard Interface, your template-based product displays the Entity Comments dialog box.
■If recording comments for any other entity type, your template-based product displays the Modify Comment dialog box.
