The signal table for modules with dig512 format consist of two levels.

The first level shows the so-called decoders and activation attributes.

If you click on the small plus symbols in the table rows, the second level of the signal table opens and you can see the actual signals (16 per decoder).

Decoder level

Decoder

Following the principle of the former ibaDig512 device, the separate data packages are referred to as decoders. One decoder corresponds to an integer word with 16 bits.

You can give a cleartext name to the decoder in this column Decoder. This name is useful for technological assignment. Digital signals are grouped under each decoder on the second level.

Address

In this column enter the byte offsets of every signal in the Reflective Memory range. The default settings can or usually should be adapted.

Active

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

A click on the column heading Active enables and disables all the decoders at the same time. Individual decoders can be enabled with the decoder-specific checkbox. If you want to enable / disable the signals individually, you should do it on the second level. If activation of the signals of a decoder is not homogeneous, the activation checkbox of the decoder is displayed in gray.

Signal table

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.

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.
