Clustering Control Devices

Associating control devices in a cluster enables to switch multiple devices between working page and reference page within the INCA Experiment Environment. All devices of one cluster switch their pages together.

To cluster control devices:

  1. In the Device menu, select Clustering and Grouping.

    or

  2. In the Hardware devices list:

    • Select a control device.
    • Right-click and select Clustering and Grouping.

    The Clustering and Grouping tab is displayed.

  3. On the Clustering and Grouping tab, in the Cluster column of the control device, select <New cluster> or choose one of the existing clusters.

    If the cluster name is marked bold, this device is the leading device. It defines either the working page or the reference page which is defined at the beginning of the clustering.
    If the cluster name shows a warning sign, only one device is assigned.

    Note

    The control device can only be clustered

    • if the control device contains two pages.
    • if the control device is not grouped.
  4. To remove a cluster, select <No cluster>.
