Creating a New Pin Map

To create a pin map, use the Pin Map Editor in InstrumentStudio:

  1. Select File » New » Pin Map or click Add in the project files pane toolbar to create a new pin map file (.pinmap).
  2. Use the Pin Map Editor to configure your pin mappings. The Pin Map tab displays mappable items. Use the left pane to browse through and configure the mappings you want to include in your pin map. To manually edit the pin map file text, click the XML tab.
    Note If you are working in an unsaved project, InstrumentStudio prompts you to save the project before creating a new pin map.
  3. Click OK to close the editor and return to your project. The new pin map is now the active project pin map.
    Note

    When activating a pin map file, the channel names change from the initial channel name to the linked pin name as configured in the pin map file.
