The File menu has a Print function which allows the user to send the system configuration details to a
printer as well as save them to a text file located in the C:\Dataforth\MAQ20\MAQ20 Config SW Vx.x
folder. The Log Configure function under the File menu allows the user to log data selected in the
Module Comm panel to a text file. Features of the Module Comm tab are explained in Section 2.2
When a system is first started, I/O modules are automatically registered. The order of module registration
and display in the software may not match the physical location of the modules on the backbone. To re-
order the display in the software to match the physical location, select the Reorder Modules check box
and use the Up and Down buttons to change the order as desired. Once finished, press the Save button
to make the changes permanent.

2.1 Registration Panel:
This tab displays each of the modules that have been registered by the MAQ20-COMx module. The
registration process may take a few seconds to complete depending on whether the system is being
connected for the first time and the number of I/O modules installed. To configure a specific module, first
click in any cell of the row where the module data is displayed and then click the Configure Module
button.
