For filling the signal tables with data, i.e. for the configuration of signals to be measured, there are some helpful functions which could ease your work, particularly if you have large amounts of data.
In the following, find the description of two functions which apply to signal tables in general:
Copying signal tables over clipboard
In the toolbar of the I/O Manager, you find two buttons for the copy and paste function.
(Copy) 
(Paste)
The buttons are active only if a signal table (Analog or Digital) of a module is open.
For example, if you want to configure several modules (e.g. ibaPADU-8) with similar signals, configure the first signal table completely in one module.
Click on the Copy button and the entire signal table is copied to the clipboard.
Now, open a signal table of the same type (analog/digital) in another module and click Paste. All data from the clipboard is entered in the table.
Afterwards, just make minor adjustments in the new signal table, e.g. edit signal names. The automatic fill function may help to optimize your work.
A special feature of the copy/paste function is the compatibility with tables in MS Excel or MS Word. If you have the signal data already available in such a table or if you simply prefer to work with these programs, you can edit your signal tables in MS Excel or MS Word and copy them to ibaPDA over the clipboard.
Prerequisite: the number of lines and columns as well as the order of columns must be identical.
Import and export of I/O configuration data
You can use the text files to edit entire I/O configurations and import them into ibaPDA. The import feature supports decimal as well as hexadecimal (prefix "0x") signal addresses.
You can find more information at The I/O configuration file.
The following provides useful information on working in the different columns of a signal table.
