If only one Instrument Family is defined (normal case) clicking on the menu will have no effect. If more than one Instrument families have been defined, you can choose family from the window that is displayed.

Important Observation

Any settings on the instruments in the Fisa Project interface do not have any influence on the real instruments. Settings such as Min and Max only serve to trigger critical process events in Fisa Logger (and Simulation). Fisa Logger

For example, if a physical instrument is configured to report temperature in degrees Celsius, changing the unit to degrees Fahrenheit in Fisa Project will have no effect on the physical instrument. The Fisa Logger will receive values from the physical instrument in degrees Celsius but Fisa Logger will report the same numeric values in unit Fahrenheit!

When using Fisa Logger ensure that the instrument definitions are coherent with physical instrument settings. This applies to Unit and Instrument Number. You can still use your own Min and Max values to trigger critical process events in Fisa Logger.

The physical instruments are configured from the factory.
Any modifications to the original settings are performed separately.
