Quick Setups

Select Quick Setups in the Closedtree view to display a list of waveform setups, each of which is associated with a specific user-defined hardware configuration or a predefined hardware configuration (Sim HW).

Quick setups are accessible only from the Quick Setup node in the user interface. To save your waveform setup as a file that can be shared with other users, use File > Save As or File > Export Waveform Data.

Predefined Quick Setup

Signal Studio software provides predefined quick setups that enable you to examine the default parameters for a particular function, while in simulated hardware mode. You can use the predefined quick setups as a starting point, modify the settings as desired, then save them as a new quick setup (see Custom Quick Setup). However, you cannot modify or delete the predefined quick setups.

Custom Quick Setup

After you have defined waveform parameters in the Instrument node and the Waveform Setup node, you can associate this waveform setup with the currently configured hardware (displayed in the Hardware node) by pressing the Save As Quick Setup button and providing a name for the new Quick Setup.

To save the current waveform setup with a different hardware configuration, define the new hardware configuration using the System Configuration Wizard (System > Run System Configuration Wizard), then click Save As Quick Setup.

If you change one or more Waveform Setup parameters, the software prompts you to save the changes as a Quick Setup when you exit. If you have changed only Hardware node or Instrument node settings, the software does not prompt you to save changes when you exit. Use the Save As Quick Setup button to save these changes to a Quick Setup

Use the following buttons to manage your quick setups.

Save As Quick Setup

Saves the current software configuration as a Quick Setup. Enter a name for your setup in the Closedwindow that appears.

To save only Hardware parameter changes, you must use the Save As Quick Setup button. You are not prompted to save Hardware parameter changes when closing or exiting the software unless changes are also made to the Waveform Setup.
