Prerequisite: The imc CANSAS modules from which measurement data are to be read must be selected in

the Module Tree.

Remarks: Calling this command causes the Measure dialog, as shown below, to appear:

and error messages

Before actual measurement proceeds, a check of the firmware and the module configuration is

performed automatically. If these are not compatible, a corresponding error message is displayed in the

status bar. Measurement by the module affected cannot be carried out; it would be necessary to

perform the command Module/ Configure... in preparation.

The displayed measurement values are constantly updated. The measuring process can be ended by

selecting the menu item Close.

If the system running a measurement includes bridge modules (DCB8, UNI8, BRIDGE2), the commands

under the menu Bridge amplifier are enabled. The command Perform balance causes all bridge modules

to be balanced automatically. The command Trigger shunt calibration causes the bridges of the bridge

modules to be shunted. The bridges are thus trimmed in a defined way for a certain time. The command

is useful for performing a function check.

The Output modules menu plays a role in DO and DAC8 modules.

With these modules, the entry in the column Measurement/output value can be edited. Pressing the

Enter- key switches to edit mode. The output value can be edited. Pressing the Enter- key then confirms

the new value and applies it in the module. The Esc- key can be used to abort the new entry.
