About the WebGPI and Web-GPI-Log Applications

The WebGPI application is a browser-based (Web), general-purpose interface (GPI)
software tool for servicing Sauer-Danfoss microcontrollers.
You can use the WebGPI application to:
Download default tuning values, applications, and kernels (operating systems) to

microcontrollers.
Upload tuning values from microcontroller applications and create default tuning
value files containing these values.
View and change microcontroller application values.
Log and plot microcontroller application values.
Troubleshoot and debug microcontroller applications.
The WebGPI-Log application is a high-speed data-logging tool. The WebGPI-Log

application data acquisition rates are typically twice as fast as the WebGPI application
rates The WebGPI-Log application installs along with the WebGPI application.

Debug Mode Pane
This pane allows you to view microcontroller inputs and directly set microcontroller
outputs when the WebGPI application is in the debug mode.
Clicking IO Test puts the WebGPI application in a troubleshooting debug mode that
bypasses the microcontroller application. To enter the debug mode, you must connect to
the microcontroller without opening the microcontroller application interface.
Warning
The debug mode directly applies output values. It bypasses fault and limit protections.
Changing outputs can cause sudden and unexpected machinery movements that can
result in personal injury and equipment damage.
Understand the consequences of changing microcontroller outputs. Be prepared for sudden
vehicle and machinery movements.

How to Log Run-Time Data

T WebGPI-Log application data acquisition rates are typically twice as fast as the WebGPI
application rates. To log data in the WebGPI-Log application, you must first use the
WebGPI application to create an xml data log file that defines the values that you want
to log. For more information, see How to Create an XML Data Log File for Use in the
WebGPI-Log Application on page 57.
1. Connect an appropriate cable between a COM port on your PC and the Sauer-Danfoss
microcontroller.
2. Start communication with the microcontroller (see page 49).
3. Select the data to be plotted.

A. In the Navigation pane, click to open the block diagram with the data to be
plotted.
B. In the block diagram, click the data to be plotted.
Left-click to select data to log, without setting a data trigger.
Right-click to select data to log and set a data trigger in the DataLogging
window.
Until a data trigger occurs, new data overwrites the oldest data when the
buffer fills. Data logging continues until you click Stop Logging.
When a data trigger occurs, logging continues until new data (including any
Pretrigger time data) fills the data buffer and then stops.
