wibconf-Windows Interface Bus Configuration Utility Chapter 8
NI-488.2 User Manual for Windows 8-6 © National Instruments Corp.
You can access the lower-level screens from the map level of wibconf by selecting a
board or device and pressing <F8>. You can use the <Up>, <Down>, <PageUp>, and
<PageDown> cursor keys to select a characteristic. For your convenience, cursor control
keys and function keys are defined at the bottom of your computer screen.
Selecting the configuration settings for each device and board customizes the
communications and other options to be used with that board or device. The access board
uses these settings either when device functions are called to program the device or when
board functions are called to program the board.
The following options are available at the lower level.
• Change Characteristics
• Change Board or Device
• Help
• Reset Value
• Return to Map
Change To change a specific characteristic of a device or a board, move the
Characteristics cursor to, or click the mouse, on the field for that characteristic.
You can also use <PageUp>, <PageDown>, <Home>, or <End> to
select other characteristics of a device or board. When the cursor
is on the characteristic, either use the left/right arrow keys to select
between different options or input the option directly from the
keyboard. Instructions on the right side of the screen inform you
which method is appropriate for the selected characteristic.
Change Board Use <Control-PageUp> and <Control-PageDown> to change to the
or Device next or previous GPIB board or device. For example, if you are
editing dev3 and press <Control-PageUp>, you will then be
editing dev4.
Help Use the function key <F1> to access the comprehensive, online
help feature of wibconf. The help information describes the
functions and common terms associated with the lower level of
wibconf.
Reset Value Use the function key <F6> to reset a characteristic option to its
previous value.
Return to Map At the lower level, the function key <F9> or <Escape> returns you
to the upper-level device map of wibconf.
