BSA Flow Software Installation and User's Guide - CSI

Plug-Ins The Plug-Ins tab provides a way to add plug-in modules and tools to the
software.
By default a processor server module (BSA Server module orPD Server
Module), and Traverse Server module are included in the Tools list. You
can add as many tools as you like. For example, you can add your word
processing program or a spreadsheet program so that you can switch to these
from within the software.

Furthermore the tools will be automatically loaded if Load at program
statup is checked. Prompt for arguments should be checked if you want to
enter a new argument each time you load a tool.
The Plug-Ins added to the list will be placed in the Tools-Plug-Ins- menu.
From there each tool can be quickly loaded, see below.
Figure 4-29 the Tools - Plug-Ins menu
By default the Traverse Server is placed in the list. It is responsible for
communication with the traverse. A server must be open if communication
with the related hardware is required. i.e. when acquiring data. For off-line
analysis of data the servers may or may not be open. The Tools - Plug-Ins
menu is used to open the servers. The servers can be closed by right-clicking
on the server icon and selecting close from the context sensitive menu.
