DASYLab does not save the measurement board settings with the worksheet.
If you made changes to your board settings since you last ran the worksheet,
DASYLab cannot recognize or reset the changes. In order to use the
worksheet again, you must restore the hardware settings to match the
worksheet. For example, switch the board from 8 DIFF to 16 SE and if
necessary, reactivate the expansion boards that were active when you saved
the worksheet.
Real time output – yes or no?
I want to connect a switch module to a digital output. Should I select the
Output in real time option?
Whether or not you select this option depends on the output mode setting of
the digital output module. If the output is set to synchronous, output in real
time must be enabled. If the output is asynchronous, output in real time can
be disabled.
If Output in real time is not active, the data is generated as fast as possible,
usually faster than the synchronous digital output can process the data. If the
switch is toggled, the output first processes all the data held back before the
change can take effect.
If the output is asynchronous, the data is processed as quickly as it is
received;the data is not held back in the same way.
This tip applies also to any module that generates data (slider, generator,
switch) and is output to an analog output on the acquisition board.
Maximum worksheet size?
I want to build a complex worksheet and only can insert 256 modules in the
worksheet. How can I insert more modules?
Use the Black Box module to create one or more sub-worksheets. You can
find a black box under Modules»Special. You can create up to 256 modules
in a black box like in the main worksheet. You can insert a black box just like
any other module. Double-click the black box to open a sub-worksheet. Use
the Import/Export Modules to exchange data with the level above.
