3.2.2 Overview
To create and configure a design:
1. Either create a new design or open an existing design. See “Working with Designs” on
page 26 .
2. If needed, add or remove
QuadPlex
devices from the design. These devices are virtual
because their settings aren't directly linked to a physical device. See “Working with Virtual
Devices” on page 27 .
No t e
If you open an existing design, then the QuadPlex device(s) that are in that design will
appear in the
QuadPlex
application. A new design will not have any
QuadPlex
devices until
you add them.
