The imc CANSAS module's properties depend on the module type. The following is a description of the
properties common to all imc CANSAS modules.
3.2.4.2.1 General
CANSAS Module Properties dialog, Page 1
In addition to the imc CANSAS module type, the number of input channels is indicated. In the case of a
imc CANSAS-INC4 module, there are 4 input channels.
The serial number is assigned when the imc CANSAS module is manufactured, and it is unique. It is the
main criterion for ordering the modules in the module database. The serial number cannot be changed. It
is automatically inquired and entered into the database when the module is introduced into the system.
The name can be specified arbitrarily. It is a means of identifying the module. There are only these
limitations on the possibilities for the name:
there must be a name,
the name may not contain certain characters. All alphanumeric characters and the characters _ ~
are allowed. The first character may not be a digit,
the name must be unique within the database,
the name may contain no more than 64 characters.
Incorrect names are displayed in the status bar.
As soon as the cursor is moved off of the input box, the name is updated in the Module Tree.
