between files in the sequence, but transitions
directly between the last command point of
one drive file and the first command point of
the following drive file.
Enables the Adaptive Inverse Control (AIC)
compensation method for all control channels that Compensator
support it. This box is available when the file has
been entered, a valid channel map exists, and at
least one of the selected channels supports AIC
Compensation (which is done in Station Builder; for
more information, see the MTS 793 Control Software
Manual).
Note:
This compensation method does not optimize
signals with frequency content above 128Hz.
Therefore, this activity does not allow AIC to
be enabled if the sampling rate of the time
histories exceeds 256Hz.
Selects the file channel number. The Descriptor and
Full Scale values are updated with the file header File Channels >

values for the selected file channel. The values are
updated as you change the selected file channel.
When you change the file channel selection, the
application shows the currently selected station
channel, control mode, and units to be used so that
the data can be converted into the station channel
system units.
Selects the test (station) channel associated with the
selected file channel. When a drive file is read, the Test Channel
application looks to see if the file channel descriptor
matches the name of the test channel. If it does, the
application maps that file channel to the matching
test channel.
Selects the control mode associated with the selected
station channel. By default, for each file channel the Control Mode
application selects the first control mode available
for the associated station channel. This defines the
dimension of the signal. By default, the MPE unit set
is used unless the unit descriptor from the drive file
matches a unit in the station control mode’s
dimension. This default unit may not be the same as
the Station Manager unit for the same dimension.
However, when the application parses the requested
drive file’s header, if the application finds that the
