Configuration The Module Configuration column displays the current inventory of WaveBooks
and relevant WBK options. Note that the WaveView Configuration main window
provides a means of setting certain parameters for WBK options, e.g.., LPF
Type and LPF cutoff for WBK12 and WBK13, and excitation source amplitude
and offset for WBK14. When applicable, the WBK options will be listed in the
Module Type column. 10

11 Enable [Disable]
Spreadsheet
Readings
Column
This is an Enable/Disable toggle button. Use of this button to “enable” causes
all channels that are “On” to display an actual reading of the input signal in the
channel reading column. The readings column is updated about twice per
second. A status indicator “READINGS” appears above the spreadsheet when
the column is enabled. Since this is a toggle button, pressing it while the
readings column is enabled will disable it. --
