You can find a more detailed description of the following columns and some operating hints in the manual of ibaPDA, in chapter "Notes on working in the signal tables".

Name

Enter a cleartext name for each signal in the Name column. Up to two lines of comment may be entered for each signal in the column Name.

Open the comment dialog by clicking on the button in the Name field of the signal.

Address

This column is used for addressing each status word or double word in the Reflective Memory, depending on the access mode 16 bit or 32 bit.

Note
	It is recommended to configure the data to be transmitted in consecutive memory ranges, i.e. the signals should have consecutive addresses. Otherwise a significant loss of performance might occur.

Bit No.

The number describes the position of the digital signal in the Reflective Memory range with reference to the offset address entry.

Addressing of bits depends on the access mode:

• 16 bit access mode: bits 0 to 15 of a status word

• 32 bit access mode: bits 0 to 31 of a double word

Activating channels

You can enable and disable every channel for acquisition with a mouse click.

Actual value

The fields in this column show the actual value of the signals. Even if the acquisition is not running yet the actual value may be displayed if the hardware is already connected and working (diagnostic feature). For digital signals, only the values 0 and 1 are shown.
