Using Libraries
Figure 106: Library Tab
Many settings, including the Channel Table, Reference Profile, Run Schedule,
Event Action Rules and Shaker Parameters allow the use of libraries. When linked
to a library, the settings are saved to the library and are updated if any changes
are made to them from within another test. For example, if the same shaker is
used in multiple tests then a library can be created for its parameters. If one of
these settings is changed, the change will be reflected in all the tests that are
linked to this library.
To create a new library file based on the current settings, click Save to Library
and enter a name and an optional description. When a name is assigned, it is set
to public, which allows it to be referred to by other tests.
To make a library the default selection in all new tests, click Save As Default. In
all future tests, the library name will show up in the Library Reference drop-down
menu. Selecting the library name in the list will link the current test to the library
and replace the current settings with those of the library. To delete the library,
press the red X next to the name.

values will be changed every time the sensors are calibrated. If no library is used
the user will have to manually change the sensitivity values in all the tests. If a
