| To run LabChart or Scope, simply double click the
appropriate application. If your PowerLab is connected correctly, then
the application will run immediately. If there is no PowerLab connected
or it is connected incorrectly, then a dialog box will appear that asks
you if you would like to scan for a PowerLab, run the application in analysis
mode, or quit.
Scan Mode
The Scan button forces your ADInstruments application to search for a
PowerLab. For your PowerLab to be recognised, you must have the PowerLab
connected and switched on before running your ADInstruments application.
If you have forgotten to do this, simply turn the PowerLab on and choose
'Scan' to run the application. If your PowerLab is not connected properly
then the dialog box will remain unchanged.
The 'Options' button (available for Mac only) in this dialog box allows
you to set the type of connection you are using — SCSI or USB. For
more information refer to your software User's Guide or the USB and SCSI support
pages.
Analysis Mode
Analysis mode allows you to view, edit and print datafiles, and to apply
off-line calculations and take measurements from them. Analysis mode
does not allow you to perform any sampling-related operations such
as set-up the input amplifier, change sampling speed or range, use
computed inputs or use any other on-line functions.
Analysis is independent of the PowerLab, so there is no need to turn
the PowerLab on for analysis only. For more information on analysis mode,
refer to your software User's Guide.
There is a comprehensive section in your PowerLab manual on connecting
your PowerLab and running ADInstruments software.
