Set up configuration profiles

PLA 3.0 comes equipped with a default configuration profile that covers the standard use case. You can create custom configuration profiles if you require.

When you use a Data Acquisition Module for the first time in your database, PLA 3.0 displays a dialog that leads you through the steps required to either activate the default profile or create a custom profile.

The following example shows the dialog of the SoftMax® Pro (6.x - 7.x) Data Acquisition Module:

Important: With version 1.3.0 of the Gen5™ Data Acquisition Module, we added additional configuration profile settings. Profiles created for previous versions are therefore no longer valid. You have to create new profiles.

Activate the default profile

To use the default configuration profile, in the Question dialog, select Yes. PLA 3.0 opens the Data acquisition configuration dialog with the default profile preselected and read-only.

Create a custom profile

To create a custom configuration profile, in the Question dialog, select No. Complete the steps described in the topic.
