Abstract

In the embodiments of the disclosure, a target signal which is a signal of a part used for subsequent processing is acquired from signals output from a device with higher accuracy. A control apparatus includes a first acquisition part which acquires a first signal of a time series output from a first device, a recording part which records a part of the first signal acquired by the first acquisition part, and a determination part which determines a timing at which the recording part records the first signal based on a preset predetermined condition.

Claims (16)

1. A control apparatus, comprising:

a first interface acquiring a first signal of a time series output from a first device;

a controller recording a part of the first signal acquired by the first interface, and the controller determining a timing at which the controller records the first signal based on a preset predetermined condition; and

a second interface acquiring a second signal output from a second device different from the first device,

wherein the controller determines a timing at which the controller starts recording the first signal based on the second signal acquired by the second interface,

wherein the controller determines the timing at which the controller starts recording the first signal based on a timing at which the first signal satisfies the predetermined condition after the second signal acquired by the second interface satisfies another predetermined condition,

wherein the another predetermined condition comprises that the second signal changes from a first state to a second state.

2. The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller determines a timing at which the controller starts recording the first signal based on a timing at which a value of the first signal acquired by the first interface exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

3. A control method, comprising:

acquiring a first signal of a time series output from a first device;

determining a timing of recording the first signal based on a preset predetermined condition;

recording a part of the first signal acquired in the step of acquiring the first signal of the time series output from the first device according to the timing determined in the step of determining the timing of recording the first signal based on the preset predetermined condition;

acquiring a second signal output from a second device different from the first device;

determining a timing at which starting recording the first signal based on the second signal; and

determining the timing at which starting recording the first signal based on the timing at which the first signal satisfies the predetermined condition after the second signal acquired satisfies another predetermined condition,

wherein the another predetermined condition comprises that the second signal changes from a first state to a second state.
