Transmit Specification Dialog Box

Transmit Specifications are defined in a dialog box. The Transmit Specification dialog box contains:

•A Defined Streams list box (top) for viewing defined streams.

•Radio buttons and fields for defining a stream (middle)

•Buttons for adding, modifying, or deleting streams, editing data

•Transmission status information

•Buttons for loading the module, opening/saving the specifications, and adding streams using templates and Magic Packets™
