MDA V8.6 – User Guide
If you drag signals to an instrument of the same instrument type,
all settings that you have already defined for a signal in the first
instrument persist.
In case the target instrument is located on another layer, use the
layer tabs to navigate to the desired layer.
To create a new instrument, drag and drop the selected signals
onto an empty space of the layer or onto the layer tab.
When you move or copy a signal, MDA checks whether the target
instrument supports the current data representation. If this is not
the case, the physical data representation is used instead. For
more information about data representation in the oscilloscope,
see "To change the data representation of a signal" on page 101,
and in the table, see "To change the data representation of a sig-
nal" on page 110.
1. In the Configuration Manager, right-click the signal that you want
to replace.
2. In the context menu, select Replace Signal.
A dialog appears.
3. In the drop-down menu, select where you want to replace the sig-
nal:
in an instrument
Everywhere (which includes all instruments and input signals
for calculated signals)
4. In the search field, enter the signal name that you want to use for
the replacement.
5. Click on the signal name or press the Enter key.
The result of the signal replacement is shown in the status bar.
The signal properties are maintained in all instruments and in the
calculated signal.
