Add digital lines to a project by configuring signals in the Channel Specification.

  1. Select one or more channels you wish to configure.
  2. Hover over a channel row and click Configure .

    The configure gear appears only when selecting multiple channels of the same data type (analog, digital, counter, calculated, and so on). If channels of different data types are selected, the configure gear will not appear.

  3. Optional: Specify the channel name in the Name field.
  4. Select Digital from the Physical Measurement pull-down selector.
    Note Available channel configuration options vary for digital input or digital output. For digital input lines, Line will automatically populate the Sensor option. For digital output, you can select the output level.
  5. Optional: For digital input, record any sensor information or test procedures in the Sensor Properties field. To edit the Sensor Properties field, complete the following steps:
    1. Click the Sensor properties edit icon .
    2. Fill in the information in the Sensor Properties dialog that opens.
    The information populates the Sensor properties field of the channel configuration.
  6. For digital output, specify the output Value for the channel or map to an input channel Source to use as the channel output, if applicable.
    Note FlexLogger does not support waveform output. Output signals are software timed and nondeterministic.
  7. Apply any additional applicable configuration options to the line. Refer to Configuring I/O Channels for more information on available options.
    For digital input, after the Physical Measurement is selected, Live value on the live graph shows the value of the signal the line is measuring.
  8. Click Done to close the configuration dialog.
  9. In the Channel Specification, choose the data rate level from the Data Rate Level pull-down selector. Refer to Configuring Data Rates for more information.
    Note FlexLogger does not log output channels.
