4.3.0 Station Configurations
A station configuration is a discrete file that lists all or a portion of the hardware resources in your physical
station. You create and modify station configurations with the MTS Series 793 controller software. MTS
typically provides a station configuration when you receive your system.
Station Configuration
The Station Configuration file lists some or all of the hardware resources in your test system. When you
connect to a controller with MPE, the Controller Resources shown on the Resources tab are the same as
the resources in the station configuration file.
4.4.0 Controller Resources
A station configuration may include only a portion of the resources available to the controller. The complete
inventory of resources available to your controller is defined by the hardware interface file (or .hwi file) installed
with your controller software. The .hwi file defines what internal components are available to your controller,
which controller slots they are installed in, and which rear-panel connectors they are accessed through.
