Analog Measurement Wizard
Advanced user level of Lizard Setup Software offers the option of using
an analog measurement wizard. This measurement setup wizard was
created to make, for example, the interfacing of OEM measurement
instruments easier.
To configure an analog measurement with the measurement setup
wizard, proceed as follows:
1. In the Equipment view, add the Generic 24 bit A/D component
and give it a more descriptive name. Connect it to the desired input.
2. Proceed to the Measurements view and select the newly added
measurement. Rename the measurement component if necessary.
3. Open the Utility menu and select the Wizard option. The window
presented in
Figure 73 on page 154 appears.

μA
fixed current supply. If the device is powered by MAWS, a
further selection between the continuous and power saving
(device is powered only when measured) modes can be made.
