When SYSCHECK runs, it queries the Universal Serial Bus (USB) to locate all of the UDAS units
that are attached to the host. UDAS SYSCHECK reports the number of UDAS units detected and
tracks the UDAS units by a unique serial number assigned to each unit. The serial number is
provided on the outside of the unit, and internally in the UDAS unit’s firmware.
In the UDAS SYSCHECK window, the main menu contains three selection tabs, Unit Info,
System Check, and Paced Analog Input as shown in FIGURE 3.1, Unit Info dialog .
In the Unit Info dialog, select one UDAS unit from the drop-down list. After making your
selection, other features of the software allow you to display inputs to, or manipulate outputs
from, the selected UDAS unit.
