NAME
This property is primarily for the user’s convenience, and the user should select
meaningful names (you can give a data channel any name you want, up to six characters
long). When you edit this property you should see a display like the following:
Blank names (all dashes) or duplicate names should be avoided because they won’t be
accessible from the RS-232 interface.
EVENT
This property designates the event that will trigger data collection. Since this could be a
diagnostic tool, it might be useful to read the parameter that is associated with the events
such as the calibration. A data channel can be triggered by only one event. If you must
trigger collection of the same data by multiple events, then you can create multiple data
channels and trigger each one with a different event. The list of available triggering
events is shown in following table.
