Configuring NetDAQ Logger for Windows
Entering an Instrument’s Description

The values in the Mx+B file must have the following format:
<channel number> <M value> <B value> <cr> <lf>
Each parameter is separated by spaces or tabs and each definition ends with a
carriage return (<cr>) and a line feed (<lf>). The decimal point character
corresponds to your Windows International settings. For example, a file may
contain the following lines:
2 1.8 32
10 2 1
This sample file indicates that, for the instrument selected on the Icon Bar,
channel 2 has its M value set to 1.8 and its B value set to 32. Channel 10 of the
currently selected instrument has its M value set to 2 and its B value set to 1.
M and B values are not set if the corresponding channel is configured as OFF.
If an error occurs when loading the Mx+B file, NetDAQ Logger displays an error
message and does not load any values for M and B. If possible, the error message
displays the line where the error occurred.
After loading the file, NetDAQ Logger sets M and B values for the channels of
the instrument currently selected on the Icon Bar.
