Setting up a Measurement
The Main Settings Window
Note
If you are running different software versions on the PC and the Recorder,
we recommend that you upgrade your system. It is not possible to configure
the Recorder, if the software version on it deviates from that on the PC.
The main Settings window is the starting point for the configuration of the measurement
campaign. The default values of all settings are taken from the measurement definition
template indicated in the title bar (.vdf). The default template can be selected with the
menu Options>Default Def-File.
The table can be used to enter meta information about your measurement campaign. All
fields can be edited by double clicking them. The provided fields (Company; Department,
etc.) are only proposals and can be changed.
Using the buttons on the right hand side, enter the specific setting dialogs (see details
below).
The action buttons at the bottom of the window perform the following tasks:
• Initialize: Sends the measurement configuration to the Recorder (must be connected)
• Save: Saves the measurement configuration to a new .vdf template file
• Close: Closes the settings dialog.
1. Select File/New or click
in the toolbar to create a new measurement
definition file (.def).
