Configuring Device Channels Using the Properties Window

You can use the Properties window to configure devices and device channels when you acquire signals using the Channel View. Use the Properties window to quickly configure multiple channels when you perform multi-channel signal acquisitions. Complete the following steps to configure multiple device channels simultaneously.

1. If the Channel View is not visible, select View»Channel View to display the Channel View.
2. Select View»Properties or click the Properties tab that appears in the bottom left corner of the application window to display the Properties window.
3. In the Channel View, click the expand symbol for the device from which you want to acquire signals to display the channels of the device.
4. Select the channels from which you want to acquire signals. Hold down the <Ctrl> key as you select the channels you want to configure to select multiple channels. You also can select a channel, hold down the <Shift> key, and select another channel to select all the channels between the two you click, inclusive.
   
   The attributes you can configure for the selected channels appear enabled in the Properties window. Settings that you cannot configure for all selected channels appear grayed out. Grayed out attributes usually are attributes that you configured at the device level and that you cannot change for individual channels.
5. In the Properties window, set the enabled settings to the values you want to use. LabVIEW SignalExpress updates all the selected channels with the values you specify.
