Connect-152 Mini Editor
The mini editor provides some control over the internal configuration of the digitizer. To access all the digitizer's standalone mode configuration settings use EditorX.
In standalone mode, each sensor input that is configured with a processing setting will be shown as a white button. When the sensor input is both configured as well as active (on), it will be shown in blue as shown below in the case of Wi-microDig 0458. In host mode, all sensor input buttons are shown and they turn blue when the sensor input is turned on.
For each sensor input, below the on/off button, there is a grey/green slider indicating the current sensor value if it's an analog sensor, with an update frequency of approx. 20 Hz. For digital sensors, since they usually output multiple parameters with different values which cannot be separately displayed by this slider, the slider shows the maximum value, ie. it remains green and the slider is not actively updated. Since the updating of these input level indicators is somewhat CPU intensive, for best real-time performance when using analog sensors, close the digitizer view window.
By clicking on the slider the sensor can be selected from a menu, so that the digitizer can be configured for the sensor that is connected to the input. The available menu entries vary according to the digitizer firmware (the picture below shows the available menu entries for a USB-microDig with firmware 7.5).
By clicking again on this slider and selecting the same sensor a field will appear that allows you to enter the method (only applicable to digital sensors).
If a sensor is selected from the menu while it is not physically connected to the sensor input on the digitizer, the digitizer may output error messages. If the configuration error applies to a specific input, its input level indicator will switch between its minimum and maximum level each time an error message is received, and an error message text will be shown to the right of the interval field.
The Auto-Load feature, when the toggle is set, saves the configuration to Connect's preferences file. Now, when switching mode, or when Connect is re-started, the configuration will be loaded from Connect's preferences file.
The Reset button sends a RESET message to the digitizer, which will instruct the digitizer to execute a software reset. Clicking the Reset button while holding down the option key on the keyboard, and while the digitizer is in standalone mode, will send a CLEAR CONFIG message to the digitizer, which will clear the digitizer's standalone configuration. See the digitizer's firmware specification for details.
