Channel Setup Buttons
These five buttons are not a part of the main window toolbar. Instead, they reside just above the
spreadsheet on the Channel Setup tab. The reason is that they only affect the channel spreadsheet.
Show All Channels, Hide Inactive Channels
These toolbar buttons collapse or expand the Analog & Scanned Digital Inputs spreadsheet to show all
channels, whether active or not, or to hide those that are inactive. These commands are also available from
the Edit pull-down menu.
Turn All Visible Channels On, Turn All Visible Channels Off
These toolbar buttons can turn all the channels ON or OFF at a single stroke. This feature is convenient
during setup and troubleshooting or if only 1 or 2 channels must be set differently from the rest. Both these
commands are also available from the Edit pull-down menu as Make All Channels Active and Make All
Channels Inactive.
Channel Readings
This toolbar item enables/disables the Reading column of the Analog and Scanned Digital Input spreadsheet
to provide a numeric view of incoming data. This function toggles on and off when the button is repeatedly
selected. Some windows require the Reading column to be disabled while changing channels or other
parameters. This command is available from the Data pull-down menu as Enable Input Reading Column.
