Configuration section for more information.

Configure Block Parameters
Categorizing Block Parameters
The NI-FBUS Configurator lets you customize the parameter
categorization. You can add or delete custom tabs on the block
configuration window.
All custom changes that you make will be saved on this computer, and
associated with this block type, so all blocks of this type in all projects will
use your custom setup.
If you do not want to change the default categorization, skip to the Editing
Block Parameters section.
Adding Tabs
1. Click the Add or Delete Custom Tab button in the block
configuration window toolbar. The Add & Delete Custom Tabs
dialog box appears.
2. Click the section where you want to add the tab.
