For a description of the basic settings see Common and general module settings.

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.
X-Pact

Update time

The update time is the rate at which the X-Pact system will send module data to ibaPDA. The time base is the rate at which ibaPDA will request the data from the agent. Usually, the values of refresh time and time base are set equal.
Hyperlink

Select symbols (link)

A click on this link will open the browser for selecting the signals to be measured from the address book. You have access to all symbols of all X-Pact stations configured in the loaded project.

The selected signals will be entered automatically in the appropriate signal table of the module (next available free row).

So you can select several signals one after the other without the browser automatically closing. The browser will stay open until you press OK.

You may also open the browser directly from the signal tables ("Symbol" column).
