MTS Series 793 - Manual (Page 73)

Note:
If you change the name of an external command resource name that includes the marker (“<->”),
you will have to reassign sensor calibration information to the resource in the Station Manager
application.
Naming Considerations for Auxiliary Inputs
For all versions of Series 793 applications, any resource you allocate to an auxiliary input is labeled “Aux
Input n,” by default, and will not appear in channel lists in the Station Manager application.
When creating new station configurations, it is good practice to allocate input resources that you want to
appear with a specific channel by using the associated channel’s Inputs tab (instead of allocating them to
Auxiliary Inputs). The signals associated with any resource you allocate to a channel input in the Station
Builder application will appear in the associated signal lists in the Station Manager application.
It is possible to add a channel name prefix to an auxiliary input in Station Builder to cause it to appear in the
associated signal lists in Station Manager.
When you do this, the resource will appear as follows:
• In the Station Builder navigation pane, it will appear as an Auxiliary Input.
• In the Station Manager Station Setup window, it will appear as an input to the associated channel (and
will be absent from Auxiliary Inputs).
About Station Resources
In general, all of the resources visible in the navigation pane and in the input and output resource lists are
“station resources.” That is, they may all be used to create station configuration files.
The resources in the Station tab of the Input Resources and Output Resources lists, however, are unique
types of station resources.
