Note
To configure channels for a future installation, connect using a virtual connection,
create a virtual sensor file and then back up the configuration settings that you cre-
ated. After the file is successfully backed up, the virtual sensor file will change to a
sensor setup file and can be restored to any sensor in the field.
When a connection is made to the SmartSensor Matrix, the main menu will appear and all
conguration options will become available (see Figure 5.9).
