Setup Window

The Setup Window is used to configure channels, setup acquisition parameters, and assign data

destinations, and configure the auto re-arm feature. The Setup Window contains three tabs:

Channel

and Alarm Setup, Acquisition Setup

, and

Data Destination

. Once in the Setup window you can access

an inactive dialog box by clicking on its related tab. The three tabs remain visible; regardless of which

dialog box is active.

Access the Setup window using one of the following methods:

•

Use the Setup pull-down menu (on

ChartView’s

main window) and select the desired

dialog box

(Channel and Alarm Setup, Acquisition Setup, or Data Destination)

•

Double-click the Channel Configuration button (item 8, main window figure), then click

on the appropriate dialog box tab

Channel & Alarm Setup Dialog Box

The Channel and Alarm Setup dialog box consists primarily of a configuration spread-sheet. The

dialog box allows you to configure the input channels, and displays them. Each row shows a single

channel and its configuration. The number of rows may vary (depending on the number of channels

present in your acquisition system). Four of the columns (

Type

Label

, and

Units

) allow blocks of

cells to be selected and altered at the same time. Clicking on one of these column headers selects the

entire column.

When a cell is selected, the message box reveals a note, and often a related pull-down list. In the

following figure, the cell for channel “Type” has been selected. This caused the “CHOOSE TYPE->”

message to appear, along with the type pull-down menu. Depending on the column, you can make

changes to the information contained in the cell by either of the following methods:

•

double clicking the cell with the mouse

•

highlighting the cell and typing in the new value or label

•

selecting from a list

•

Ctrl+C

Ctrl+V
