How to link Visio shape to real-time spectrum analyzer (using preset)?

Hi,

I’d like to create a Visio shape which opens up the linked spectrum analyzer element card and applies the spectrum preset defined in the shape data. The analyzer element should show the real-time trace, not a buffered one (there are no monitors configured).

Using the ‘LinkingOnly’ option, I can already prevent the shape from directly turning into a spectrum component.

The syntax for the ‘parameter’ shape data is the following:

ParameterID|MonitorRef|BufferName|MeasurementPointID|PresetName|
SpectrumOptions

I’m converting this into:

64001||||RubenPreset2|

  • MonitorRef is empty because there are no monitors configured
  • BufferName is empty because there are no buffers available
  • MeasurementPointID is empty because the measurement point is saved within the preset
  • PresetName is pointing to the required preset

Clicking on the shape, it seems to load the correct measurement point/preset, but still tries to open the trace in buffered mode.

Is there any way to force the ‘real-time’ trace?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have exactly the same question and tried same as Ruben before finding this post.
Our use case is to have one Visio overview of multiple spectrums and their measurement points allowing users to go to a live trace of a Cube spectrum element with loaded specific preset/measurement point with a single click.

Ruben, or anyone else, have you found any way how to do this?

Thank you.

Hi Ruben,

DataMiner cube currently supports :

  • Embedding a spectrum analysis component, showing the real-time trace, see DataMiner Help
  • Linking a shape to an (spectrum) element parameter, see DataMiner Help

Unfortunately, only the second option for spectrum thumbnail has support for linking to an elementcard.
