In the General tab, you make the basic settings, settings for the module layout and for PROFIBUS for the "Sniffer" device module.

Basic settings

Locked, Enabled, Name, Timebase, Use module name as prefix

see chapter ibaBM-DP – General tab.

Module No.

Logic module number for clear referencing of signals e. g. in expressions in virtual modules or ibaAnalyzer.
Module Layout

No. analog signals

Defining the number of analog signals for this module (min. 0, max. 512).

No. digital signals

Defining the number of digital signals for this module (min. 0, max. 512).
PROFIBUS

Bus number

The bus number corresponds to the PROFIBUS connection in the module tree. You can change the bus number. In this case, the Sniffer module is displayed under the respective PROFIBUS connection.
Command for browsing the PROFIBUS

Browse profibus

This command opens the Profibus browser, which can be used to interactively add signals from the input and output data area of the slaves to the analog and digital signals. For further information on Profibus browser see chapter Signal selection in the Profibus browser.

Browse S7 PROFIBUS symbols

With this command, you can open the Sniffer symbol browser. For a detailed description, see chapter Selecting signals via sniffer symbol browser. With this browser, you can use the PROFIBUS symbols available in a Step 7 project for adding signals in an interactive manner.
