When you create a configuration file, you can define a value for each K-field for which you selected the Predefined check box in the Setup K-Field Configuration dialog box (Setup | K-Field Configuration).
To set up predefined values, follow these steps:
To open the Setup Predefined Values dialog box, select Setup | Predefined Values in the Q-DAS Configurator application. The Setup Predefined Values dialog box displays the fields for which the Predefined check box in the Setup K-Field Configuration dialog box is selected.
Setup Predefined Values dialog box
In the Fields with defined field contents area, select the field. A table with two columns (Value and Description) appears in the Value / Description area.
Type a value (usually a number) in the Value column.
Type descriptive text in the Description column.
Only the value of the K-field exports to the actual Q-DAS ASCII Transfer Format file. The description helps you or the operator know what to select.
Continue to complete the table with values and descriptions as needed. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until all of the applicable K-fields have predefined values.
To save your changes, click OK.
