4. Enabling Channels for
Acquisition
This chapter tells you how to enable analog channels for recording. For example, suppose you have analog signals
connected to channels 1 through 16 and you want to record all of them. Use this procedure to enable channels 1
through 16 for recording.
1.
To enable channel configuration:
Click on Channels... in the Edit menu.
What you see on your monitor depends on which instrument you are using:

The Ch: block cursor will blink in the Channels field on the status bar. The currently active list of enabled channels
are displayed in this field, immediately to the left of the cursor (initially, only channel 1 is enabled for recording).
2.
Enter the desired channel number and press the ENTER key. Repeat for each desired channel. This causes the
channel number to be displayed in the enabled channels row.
3.
When all desired channels have been enabled, exit the channel configuration routine by pressing any key other
than the letters D and I.
Note that a channel may be removed by typing the channel number preceded by a minus (-) sign. For example, typing
“-3” removes channel 3 from the row. Note also that channels may not be added after the RECORD mode has been
entered.
