Configuring an Instrument 3-20.
Once you have set up the network list, and created icons and grouped instruments
necessary for your setup, you can configure the instruments or instrument group.
You can set instrument-level parameters such as reading rate and trigger types,
and channel parameters such as function, Mx+B scaling, and alarms.
All configuration operations apply to the instrument which is selected on the icon
bar.
Dimmed Configuration Commands 3-21.
Some operations in NetDAQ Logger are mutually exclusive. When a command is
unavailable, its menu entry or toolbar icon will be grayed out. For example you
cannot configure an instrument while it is scanning. Also, checking the
Configuration Lockout command in the Options menu prevents you from
modifying the configuration.
The Instrument Configuration Dialog Box 3-22.
All instrument configuration procedures start with the Instrument Configuration
dialog box shown in Figure 3-3. When you create a new instrument icon, this
dialog box shows the default configuration settings.
Open the Instrument configuration dialog box by double-clicking anywhere in the
Instrument Configuration area of the Main Window (the upper portion), pressing
the Instrument Configuration toolbar button or selecting Setup | Instrument
Configuration. Complete the following procedure to configure the instrument.
