starts. For example, if you have a module with the same number of inputs and
outputs and you do not want to use one of the inputs in the worksheet, you
can read the data for this input from a variable.
Using the Browser and the Module Bars
The Modules tab on the browser on the left side of the screen provides all
modules that you installed with DASYLab and the selected drivers. The
modules are arranged thematically in a tree structure – for example, inputs
and outputs with the hardware and interface modules, trigger functions,
mathematics, and display instruments.
The Navigator tab of the browser lists all the modules that the worksheet
contains. The navigator lists the modules in the order in which you inserted
the modules into the worksheet. In order to find and to select a module in a
complex worksheet, select the module on the Navigator tab and select Go to
Module from the context menu. DASYLab selects the module and displays
it in the center of the worksheet. To configure a module, select Open Dialog
Box from the context menu.
If you select View»Module Bar, you can display a module bar with the most
frequently used modules. DASYLab displays the module bar on the left side
of the screen. Double-click the module symbol to insert the module
automatically in the workspace.
You can specify which modules to include on the module bar. Right-click a
module bar button and select New to open the selection dialog box. Scroll
through the list of available modules, select a module, and click OK to
confirm your selection. The button in the module bar now displays the
symbol of the new module. You can combine various task-related module
bars which you load according to the measurement task. Select Edit»Module
Bar to save the current module bar, to load a module bar, or to create a new
module bar.
Configuring Modules
The module inputs are on the left side and the module outputs are on the right
side of the module. Depending on the function of the module, the module
might only have inputs or only outputs. Modules that generate or acquire data
have only outputs. Modules that process data have inputs and outputs.
