Ignore communication errors...

If this option is activated, data acquisition starts even if communication errors occur on the DAQ server side.
Available modules

At the start, no modules can be added. Only after loading the project by clicking the <Load project> button, the appropriate modules can be configured in ibaPDA. The communication interfaces configured for X-Pact – SM128, ibaLink-VME or Reflective Memory – appear in the interface tree.

Now, it is possible to add an “X-Pact” module to each link.

For further information on module configuration, refer to X-Pact lite module (Reflective Memory).
