ETAS MDA V8.5 - Displaying Signal Information

ETAS 3 Signal Selection
If you drag signals to an instrument of the same instrument type,
all settings that you have already defined for a signal in the first
instrument persist.
In case the target instrument is located on another layer, use the
layer tabs to navigate to the desired layer.
To create a new instrument, drag and drop the selected signals
onto an empty space of the layer or onto the layer tab.
When you move or copy a signal, MDA checks whether the target
instrument supports the current data representation. If this is not
the case, the physical data representation is used instead. For
more information about data representation in the oscilloscope,
see "To change the data representation of a signal" on page94,
and in the table, see "To change the data representation of a sig-
nal" on page103.
To replace a signal
If you need to replace a signal by another signal, for example to resolve a "No-
Match" status, do the following:
1. In the Configuration Manager, right-click the signal that you want to
replace.
2. In the context menu, select Replace Signal.
A dialog appears.
3. In the drop-down menu, select where you want to replace the sig-
nal:
in an instrument
Everywhere
4. In the search field, enter the signal name that you want to use for
the replacement.
5. Click on the signal name or press the Enter key.
The signal properties are maintained in all instruments and in the
calculated signal. In this case, only if the replacement takes place
with Everywhere.
