Sampler Properties After selecting to Add or Edit a Sampler, the Sampler Properties page will load. Sampler settings changed based on the Type selected, each type is shown and explained in the following sections. A BSC module does not require an input to be setup, for a Count, because the device has no physical inputs making all inputs virtual. The TIM and PSM will require an input be setup for a Count, either physical or virtual, to ensure functionality. Linked Sampler - a Process is required to establish the sampler. This process will start and stop the sampler. Standard Sampler - the sampler is started and stopped manually with a button on the touch screen. Continuous Sampler - the sampler never starts nor stops, it is always on. Count Properties Sampler ID - assigned/created by VersaCall software. Sampler Name - enter a name for the Count.
