This dialog allows you to select, create, or edit a connection type that facilitates rapid cable set connections. You define a connection type that contains a pattern by which Smart Instrumentation connects wires and jumpers to a terminal strip.
The options become available for editing after you select New or Edit.
To access this dialog, select 
in the Connection window or the Wiring Module window.
All fields become accessible for editing after clicking New or Edit. Clicking New opens the New Connection Type dialog where you configure a new connection type and then return to this dialog.
