The logical device functionality allows you to assign logical names to output registers on physical devices, and associate the generic inputs with standard measurements, including WAGES measurements.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
Each logical device has a logical device type associated with it. Each logical device type is defined with a collection of output measurements. The measurements defined by the device type become the output measurements for instances of that device type, that is, for the logical devices. You use the

You need supervisor-level access to be able to define logical device types and to create logical devices in the editors.
