Customized elements

In addition to the standard input and output elements that are installed with the Setting
and Monitoring Tool, it is possible to create, configure, import and export customized
elements. This function allows you to create element templates with preset
configuration options (e.g. single-channel or dual-channel evaluation, discrepancy
time, on-off filtering, connection to test outputs etc.) that are adapted to your specific
equipment needs.
How to enable customized elements:
 In the Hardware configuration view, click on the Settings icon at the left of the
Configuration area to open the Settings dialog.
 In the General tab, activate the Enable customized elements option.
 Click on OK.
How to create a customized element:
 In the Hardware configuration view, right click on any element (in the Elements
window, in the Configuration area or in the Parking area). It is recommended to
choose an element that is as similar as possible to the customized element you
want to create.
 From the context menu select the command Save as customized element.... The
Create custom element template window opens.
 Rename and configure the element as needed (see below for details).
 Click on Save to save the new element and close the window.
 You have to enter a new name for the template in order to save it.
 Make sure that all settings are complete and correct before you save the new
template. It is not possible to change an existing element template within the Setting
and Monitoring Tool, no matter whether it is a standard or a customized template.
