Combine selected channels



Combine selected channels to bus

This dialog allows to combine the selected digital channels to a bus. Digital busses can be used to display multiple channels in a space saving way or to group channels that logically belong together in the measurement setup.
The order of the channels in the bus can be changed by dragging a channel to the desired position in the list.

Name: Fill in a name of the bus that is shown everywhere where this bus is used.
Color button: Press the button to select the color of the bus with which it is shown inside the different display windows.
Bit Order: Select the bit order of the bus. Use drag and drop to change the ordering of the bits and select Ascending or Descending to change which bit is the Most Significant Bit (MSB) and which is the Least Significant Bit (LSB).
Display Format: The bus values will be displayed in the selected format.
Available formats:
  • HEX: Display bus values as hexadecimal.
  • BIN: Display bus values as binary.
  • OCT: Display bus values as octal.
  • SIGNED: Display bus values as signed integers.
  • UNSIGNED: Display bus values as unsigned integers.
Subordinate channels to bus: Groups channels with the bus as parent. Subordinated channels cannot be used to create further busses. If this option is unchecked, the source channels can be used for multiple busses.
Add bus to displays: If this option is checked the newly generated bus is automatically added to a matching digital display. If no digital display is yet available a newly generated display is automatically added showing this plot.
Remove selected signals from display after combining: Removes source channels from all displays after bus creation.
