Tutorial: Working With ASCMO-DYNAMIC ExpeDes

ASCMO-DYNAMIC ExpeDes is a tool for creating space-filling statistical experiment plans. It is ideally suited for planning measurements with a space-filling distribution of target values and gradients of the measurement channels, as required for model training in ASCMO-DYNAMIC.

This chapter describes the individual working steps involved in creating a dynamic experiment plan with ASCMO-DYNAMIC ExpeDes.

• Step 1: General Settings

  This is the first step in which the number of measurements and the number and configuration of the inputs is defined for the experiment plan.

• Visualizing the Dynamic Experimental Plan

  To be able to evaluate the plan data, you can display it either graphically or as a table at any time.

• Step 2: Constraints

  In this step, constraints of the measurement range can be made for a variable as a function of one or two other variables.

• Step 3: Input Compression

  In this step, compressions of measuring points in certain areas of the measuring space can be specified for inputs by area.

• Step 4: Steady State Points

  This step allows you to define operating points for the system, which have a frequency of stay in the experiment plan. In addition, you can define steady state phases and the duration of the steady state phases.

• Step 5: Block Configuration

  In this step, the experiment plan can be divided into several parts (blocks) that can be measured separately. Each block by itself corresponds to the requirements of the design of experiments and is space filling.

• Step 6: Snippet Configuration

  This step is skipped in this tutorial.

• Step 7: Calculated Inputs

  This step is skipped in this tutorial.

• Step 8: Export

  In this step, the properties of the project and the experiment plan itself are displayed. You can export the data in *.xlsx, *.xls or *.csv format. In addition, you can display the data as scatter plots, density plots, scope views, or as a table.
