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.
