Device manager

The device manager menu is used to configure a user-specific measurement device setup. The user can load and save several device configurations depending on the used hardware.

To add a device to the test configuration, it can be simply placed via drag and drop inside the test site configuration and configured individually.

Test site configuration#

The test site configuration allows the user to load, save or create device configurations to allow an easier and faster setup for different tests. The configuration file will be saved as Measmatic config file (*.mmcfg). Devices can be placed via drag and drop from the list of supported devices. Selecting a device in the test site configuration with a left button click updates the device properties that can be changed individually. With a right button click on a device, the option is displayed to remove the selected device. Devices can also be deleted with the keyboard "DEL" button.

Device properties#

The connection of each device can be initialized or closed individually by using the functions "Initialize" and "Shutdown" on top of the device properties menu. Depending on the selected device, the properties menu displays the necessary settings to communicate with the hardware.
