4.1.4. System Settings
If more than one MCA is used, the system definition dialog box comes up as shown in Figure 4.5.
Here the several units can be combined to form up to 4 separate systems that can be started,
stopped and erased by one command.
In the shown setting a single system is formed. The two webMCAs A and B are combined, both
operate in one system. System 1 can be started, stopped, erased, and continued with the
respective commands in the Action 1 menu. It is also possible for example to form two
independent systems 1 and 2: Click on the button labeled <<All below the list box „System1“ to
remove all units from system 1. They are then shown in the „Not active“ list box. Then select unit
A and click on the button labeled >> below the „System 1“ list box to include it into system 1 and
perform the respective action for unit B and System 2.

and calibration parameters entered in the MCDWIN program.
