Basic settings
Module Type (information only)
Indicates the type of the current module.
Locked
You can lock a module to avoid unintentional or unauthorized changing of the module settings.
Enabled
Enable the module to record signals.
Name
You can enter a name for the module here.
Comment
You can enter a comment or description of the module here. This will be displayed as a tooltip in the signal tree.
Module No.
This internal reference number of the module determines the order of the modules in the signal tree of ibaPDA client and ibaAnalyzer.
Timebase
All signals of the module are sampled on this timebase.
Use module name as prefix
This option puts the module name in front of the signal names.
Text encoding
You can select the type of text encoding or the code page here for a correct interpretation and display of the received text data for inputs as well as of the text data to be sent for outputs. Available for selection are, beside system locale according to the Windows system settings (default) and UTF-8 Unicode, all other encodings.
Source
Terminator
This is the agreed termination character for the text, which is expected by ibaPDA and which should be used by the transmitting system. The terminator could be any ASCII-character, e. g. Carriage Return or another decimal coded character. You may alter the terminator according to your needs. The default value is 13 (‘carriage return”).
COM interface
Here, select the correct COM interface (COM1...COM4) of the server computer which is connected to the source computer.
Baud rate
Select the appropriate baud rate (600...115200) for data transmission from the selection list. Source-system-dependent.
Data bits and stop bits
Select the appropriate settings from the dropdown list. Source-system-dependent.
Parity
Select the parity (none, odd, even, mark, space) from the selection list. Source-system-dependent.
Character spacing
If you enable this option (true), then the telegram will automatically be closed 500 ms after receiving the last character. This is an alternative to the termination character or is a solution if there is no terminator.
