The signal tables for modules with dig512 format consist of two levels.

The first level shows the so-called connectors and activation attributes.

If you click on the small plus symbols in the table rows, the second level of the signal table opens and you can see the actual signals (16 per connector).

Connector level

Connector

Following the principle of the former ibaDig512 device, the separate data packages are referred to as connectors. One connector corresponds to an integer data item with 16 bits.

You can extend or hide the signal tables for each connector by click on the small + (resp. -) symbol at the connector name. You may also enter a name for the connector in the “Connector” column. This name is used for engineering assignment. Under each connector, 16 digital signals are grouped on the second level of the signal table.

Address

In the address column (connector line), the byte offset in the range of every single connector (= integer package) may be specified by the user. The offset can be entered as hexadecimal or decimal values by selecting the appropriate option from the context menu. Usually, the default values need to be adjusted. Consecutive addresses count in steps of 2 according to the size of the 16-bit integer package.

After you have entered the address in the first row and clicked on the column header, all following addresses are updated automatically.

Active

Activating the connectors

A click on the "Active" column header activates (checkmark) or deactivated (no checkmark) all the connectors for acquisition at the same time. Individual connectors can be activated in the corresponding selection box. No acquisition takes place for deactivated connectors, so that such connectors are neither available for display nor storage. When enabling/disabling a connector's activation attribute in the parent table, all the channels it contains are enabled/disabled.

If you want to activated/deactivate the signals individually, go to the second level. If enabling of the signals of a connector is not uniform, the "Activation" selection box of the connector is grayed out.

Furthermore, disabled signals will not be taken into account in the signal statistics ("signal-o-meter").
