Station input resources
Station input resources are inputs that have been defined for a specific channel or auxiliary input. To create
a station input resource you must perform one of the following:
• Allocate hardware input resources to create control modes for a channel (using the Control Modes tab on
the Channels panel)
• Allocate hardware input resources to create inputs for a channel (using the Inputs tab on the Channels
panel)
Allocate hardware input resources for an auxiliary input (using the controls on the Auxiliary Inputs panel)
How to Reuse Station Input Resources Associated with Specific
Channels
You can reuse the station input resources associated with a specific channel to create additional control
modes for that channel.
Note:
You cannot use station input resources associated with one channel to create control modes for other
channels.
For example, suppose you have created force and displacement control modes for a channel named “Left
Front” by allocating hardware input resources to measure force and displacement (using the Control Modes
tab on the Channels panel).
Next, you want to create a Channel Limited Channel control mode in which displacement is limited by force.
To do this, you would:
1. Click the Station tab of the Input Resources list on the Channels panel.
2. Select displacement (Left Front > Disp) as the base control mode.
3. Select Channel Limited Channel for control mode Type.
4. Select force (Left Front > Force) as the limiting control mode.
To see how these steps affect the Station Builder main display, review the station configuration example
that follows.
