The bus connection is the default setting. You only need to change the
connection mode if the board is installed in an expansion box
connected via Ethernet.
Using network
connection
When Ethernet is being used, there may be network clients. The
network connection actually being used determines the network client
and thus the boards that can be accessed. The Platform Navigator
shows only the boards that are connected and registered.
Multiconnect group You can use a multiconnect group that allows you to experiment with
several expansion boxes connected to the host PC via Ethernet
(= several network clients) at the same time. A multiconnect group is
handled in the same way as a single network client.
For information on creating a multiconnect group, refer to Creating a
Multiconnect Group on page 98.
Using remote
connection
The Remote Connection allows you to connect several PCs to one
realtime system via Ethernet. In this way, you can work simultaneously
with the same experiment via different PCs. For detailed information
on the remote connection, refer to Remote Control in the ControlDesk
Experiment Guide.
