Range of Channels > Activating Procedure
To assign a range of channels, select the window in which you would like the block of channels to begin. When the desired window is selected, Assign the Channel Range.
In
the View menu click on Assign
Range….
Choose
View Assign Range… (ALT, V, R).
This causes the channel number to blink. Enter the new or desired channel number here. If the box is still blinking after typing fewer than the maximum number of digits, press a non-numeric key to stop it from blinking.
Display windows appearing on the monitor below the selected one are now assigned consecutively higher numbered channels while the display windows appearing on the monitor above the selected one are now assigned consecutively lower numbered channels.
For example, say you have 16 channels of data enabled for acquisition but for some reason can only display 8 at a time on your monitor. You can use the Assign Range… command to conveniently see the remaining eight channels of data. Just select waveform window 1, select Assign Range… from the View menu, and enter 8 in the blinking box. Instead of channels 0 through 7, waveform windows 1 through 8 now show channels 8 through 15.
This function allows you to conveniently scroll through, in a forward direction, all the consecutive channels you have enabled when they can’t be displayed on the monitor all at once. This function is most useful when many channels are enabled (such as with expansion instruments) and the size of your monitor or the amount of screen space devoted to WinDaq Acquisition prevents you from seeing them all.
In
the View menu click on Forward
Range.
Choose
View Forward Range (ALT, V, F).
For example, say you have 32 channels of data enabled for acquisition but for ease of viewing and to keep a high degree of detail, you want only 8 displayed at a time on your monitor. You can use the Forward Range command to conveniently scroll forward through the remaining channels of data. Just select Forward Range from the View menu (or use CTRL + ↓). The next higher-numbered 8 channels will be displayed.
This function allows you to conveniently scroll through, in a backward direction, all the consecutive channels you have enabled when they can’t be displayed on the monitor all at once. This function is most useful when many channels are enabled (such as with a slave expansion instrument) and the size of your monitor or the amount of screen space devoted to WinDaq Acquisition prevents you from seeing them all.
In
the View menu click on Backward
Range.
Choose
View Backward Range (ALT, V, B).
For example, say you have 32 channels of data enabled for acquisition but for ease of viewing and to keep a high degree of detail, you want only 8 displayed at a time on your monitor. You can use the Backward Range command to conveniently scroll backward through the remaining channels of data. Just select Backward Range from the View menu (or use CTRL + ↑). The next lower-numbered 8 channels will be displayed.
