Auto enable/disable

When this option is enabled and ibaPDA cannot connect to this device during the start of the acquisition then it will disable this module and start the acquisition without it. During the acquisition it will try to reconnect to the device. When it succeeds it will automatically restart the acquisition with this module enabled.

If this option is not enabled then ibaPDA will not start the acquisition when it cannot connect to the device.
