The interface has the following functions and configuration options:

Set all values to zero when the connection to a device is lost

If this option is enabled, all measured values of a device are set to zero as soon as the connection is lost. If this option is disabled, ibaPDA will keep the last valid measured value at the time the connection was lost in the memory.

Start acquisition even if a device is not accessible

If this option is enabled, the acquisition will start even if ibaPDA was not able to establish a connection to a device or if there is an error in the configuration. In case of a an error, a warning is indicated in the validation dialog. If the system has been started without a connection to the device, ibaPDA will periodically try to connect to the device.
