Figure 3–31: Creating Variable Width Modules
Figure 3–32 shows how the display changes as you select different module
formation numbers. As you cycle through the module formation numbers, notice
that the configuration list in the center box changes to show the arrangement of
modules for that formation. Each module formation contains a different
arrangement of installed modules. The number of possible formations depends
on the modules installed in the mainframe.
To time correlate data between two or more acquisition modules that are not
combined as a variable-width module, follow these steps:
1. Form a cluster of two modules appropriate to your application in the Cluster
Definition overlay of the System Configuration menu.
2. Define what modules should be correlated in the Define Correlation overlay
of the Cluster Setup menu. Data from the correlated modules will be
time-aligned in the display menu when you acquire data.
NOTE
. Modules that are combined together as variable-width modules, such as
two 92C96 Modules in adjacent slots, are automatically time correlated.
