5.2.9 Setup hardware
The setup hardware dialog serves to re-assign the known configuration of boards and sources after adding or
removing boards from the H
YDRA or after reordering them.
After each startup the H
YDRA checks, if the detected hardware has still the same parameters like before halting it.
If it detects differences, it displays in the message bar the text “The hardware configuration has changed” to-
gether with the names of the concerned module to notify you from the changes.
On the setup hardware dialog first select one module from the Modules list on top. The left column lists now the
last saved state of the configuration of the boards of this module. The right column lists the currently detected
hardware configuration.
With the mouse you can drag an arrow from an entry of the left side to an entry on the right side. Therefore first
click on a box representing a board on the left side, then click in a box on the right side. Only boards of the same
type may be linked together in this way. While moving on boards on the right the arrow might have the follow-
ing colors:
• green: the board is of the same type and not yet linked to a saved board
• orange: the board is of the same type but already linked
• red: the board is of a different type and can not be linked
If you want to release a link, first click in the right box and then click in the free space in the middle between
both columns.
A link has the effect that all source settings of the selected board in the left column get assigned to the sources
of the selected board in the right column.
When ready click the OK button to confirm the new setup.
In addition this dialog can also be used to assign the configuration of one board to another.
By this the source properties of one board can be copied.
To make changes effective the command Reset Software is required for this H
YDRA module; please
refer to section
5.3.2 Module control.
