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

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

  • Embedded application

    When 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 possible to import user-defined signal names, which are configured in the embedded application, provided that the embedded application supports this function (Import signal names: True)

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

    The configuration is read by ibaPDA and used for the acquisition. Modules and signals which are not displayed in gray can be used in ibaPDA.
