The SFRA GUI will connect to the device. A SFRA sweep can now be started by
clicking Start Sweep. The complete SFRA sweep will take a few minutes to
finish. Activity can be monitored by seeing the progress bar on the SFRA GUI;
and also by checking the flashing of blue LED on the back of the control card,
which indicates UART activity. Once complete, a graph with the open loop plot
will appear, as shown in Figure 5-29. The Frequency Response
Data is also saved in the project folder, under an SFRA Data Folder, and is
time-stamped with the time of the SFRA run.
Test the SFRA at different
current set points, making sure the period is not clamped, to verify that
the system is stable across the operable range.
