In order to configure general settings of the ibaFOB-PlusControl card, select the General tab in the interface tree and choose the Boards node.

You can enable the following options in the section ibaFOB-PlusControl.

Allow start of the acquisition when a link is broken.

If one or more connections to the PLUSCONTROL system cannot be established at the start of the acquisition, the acquisition will start anyway.

Set signals to zero when a link is broken

If you enable this option, all measurement signals of the connection will be set to zero if the link is broken. Otherwise the signal values would display the last value at the time the connection was broken.

Update preferred modules when a new address book is detected during the start of the acquisition

When establishing a connection with a PLUSCONTROL system, the address book is read and evaluated. “Preferred modules” are automatically created for the preferred signals. If there is a new address book, then it is usually possible to choose how to proceed with the "preferred modules" (update or replace).

If you enable this option, then the existing "preferred modules" will be updated with the "preferred modules" from the new address book. The signal IDs of already existing preferred signals remain unchanged.

Restart acquisition when a new address book is detected

If this option is enabled, ibaPDA checks regularly every 10 s whether the address book has changed.

If a new address book is detected, then the acquisition is stopped and restarted. When the acquisition is restarted, the address book is read. If the option above is enabled, the preferred modules are also updated automatically.
