Basic settings
For a description of the basic settings see Common and general module settings.
Advanced
Swap mode
Set the swap mode according to the signal source. You can choose between the following 4 options:
|
Mode |
16 bit |
32 bit |
|---|---|---|
|
No swap |
AB |
ABCD |
|
Depending on data type |
BA |
DCBA |
|
Swap 16 bit |
AB |
CDAB |
|
Swap 8 bit |
BA |
BADC |
The swap mode to be selected depends on the swap mode of the signal source.
Asynchronous mode
In asynchronous mode, the data is copied from the card’s memory into the memory of ibaPDA outside of the interrupt service routine (ISR). This mode can be used to measure large data volumes on a slower time base.
Enabling asynchronous mode is recommended if the duration of the ISR is longer than 2000 μs. For checking the ISR duration, go to Interrupt time on the Interrupt info node of the General tab in the I/O Manager.
If you want to activate the asynchronous mode, set this option on TRUE.
Module layout
Number of analog and digital signals
Here, you can increase or decrease the number of signals in the module. By default, 32 signals are preset. You may enter any value between 0 and 1000. The signal tables will be adjusted accordingly.
