Settings are divided into the following categories (left side of the settings menu):

  • Devices - View the connected DAQ devices (Real measurement mode) or simulate channels (Simulation mode) to make an offline setup.

    • In Real measurement mode, DAQ devices (Sirius, Dewe-43, Krypton) are used to acquire data
    • Simulation mode can be used when we don’t have any DAQ devices connected to our system and we want to simulate different types of channels to make an offline setup. DS_options_settings_devices_operationMode
