If the module is detected, click on the module in the tree structure and the General tab appears. The General and Analog tabs are the same for all ibaMS16xAI modules.

Basic settings

Module Type (information only)

Indicates the type of the current module.

Locked

You can lock a module to avoid unintentional or unauthorized changing of the module settings.

Enabled

Enable the module to record signals.

Name

You can enter a name for the module here.

Comment

You can enter a comment or description of the module here. This will be displayed as a tooltip in the signal tree.

Module No.

This internal reference number of the module determines the order of the modules in the signal tree of ibaPDA client and ibaAnalyzer.

Timebase

All signals of the module are sampled on this timebase.

Timebase, specified in the PADU-S module.

Use module name as prefix

This option puts the module name in front of the signal names.

Configuration set by

This item is only visible when ibaPADU-S-IT-2x16 is used as central unit. When an embedded application has been started on ibaPADU-S-IT-2x16 (e.g. ibaLogic), then ibaPDA cannot modify the configuration of the modules and signals. In this case the configuration is set by the embedded application. The following entries can be displayed:

  • ibaPDA



    If ibaPDA is displayed, an embedded application has not been started and the configuration can be set by ibaPDA.

  • Embedded application



    If embedded application is displayed, the configuration of the modules and signals is set by the embedded application on the device. In this case, it is also possible to import user-defined signal names - assigned by the runtime configuration - into ibaPDA (Import signal names: True), if the embedded application supports this function.

    The modules and signals configured by the embedded application cannot be configured in ibaPDA, they are displayed in gray in the respective fields.

    ibaPDA reads out this configuration and uses it for acquisition in ibaPDA. Modules and signals which are not displayed in gray can be used in ibaPDA.
Advanced

Digital filter mode

When you select Anti-aliasing then after the analog anti-aliasing filter an additional digital anti-aliasing filter is applied to the signals. This digital anti-aliasing filter can be enabled only once per module and is then applied to all signals, that have the filter property enabled on the Analog tab.

For this reason, it can only be activated together with the analog filter via the filter option in the Analog tab.

The digital anti-aliasing filter can only be enabled with a sampling rate > 500 Hz (= timebase < 2 ms).

If the digital filter is enabled, an additional field Cutoff frequency appears.

Cutoff frequency

You can enter a value in Hz for the cut-off frequency of the digital anti-aliasing filter or select the "Auto" setting. When it is set to “Auto” the cutoff frequency is equal to one third of the sampling frequency.



  • Permissible values: 100 Hz … 0.5*sampling rate

  • The entry “0" Hz corresponds to the setting “Auto".

Enable frequency measurement

Select „TRUE“, if you want to measure power frequency of the connected signals. The Power frequency [10Hz..80Hz] tab appears additionally.
