Configuring the PC Digitizer
This procedure shows how to configure the PC Digitizer using Asset Manager
Wizard from within the Asset Manager. This is the most common way to add
assets.
1
From Asset Manager click Asset, then click Add. See Figure 324.
2
From the Asset Type pull-down list (Figure 325 on page 435), select FFT
Analyzer, then select Next.
