Initializing Hardware

There are three different ways to initialize hardware in INCA:

	Initialize Hardware	Initializes all hardware added to the current workspace.
	Initialize Unconnected Devices	Initializes devices that are not yet connected.
	Initialize Device	Initializes or re-initializes only selected device.

To initialize hardware:

In the Hardware menu, select Initialize Hardware.
INCA initializes all devices in the current workspace.

To initialize unconnected devices

To initialize single devices

In the upper device information bar, right-click on a device and select Initialize Devices.
Note
For certain systems, single devices can not be initialized. You can only initialize the complete system.

Note
For certain systems, single devices can not be initialized. You can only initialize the complete system.

The lower icon bar indicates whether INCA has successfully initialized the device currently used in the experiment environment:

	The device is inactive. This status is used only for certain devices, e.g. ODX Flash devices.
	The device was successfully initialized.
	The device is not initialized or not connected.
	The device is physically available, but can not be accessed.
	The hardware status can not be detected. This status may only occur for 3rd party hardware devices.
