By default, the status is set to In use
Barcode configuration (*): select one of the following options:
- Online & offline: it enables the search of inspections both locally and on QA Supervisor when a barcode is scanned on the measuring device.
- Only online: it enables the search of inspections on QA Supervisor when a barcode is scanned on the measuring device.
- Only offline: it enables the local search of inspections when a barcode is scanned on the measuring device.
- None: it disables the search of inspections by scanning a barcode on the measuring device.
This field is available only for STpad, STpalm and STbench.
Automatic clean up: click on the switch to enable/disable the deletion of the data sent by QA Supervisor before a new route is sent to the measuring device.
By enabling this switch, the results of the inspections are not deleted.
This field is available only for STpad, STpalm and STbench.
Enable delete measures: click on the switch to enable/disable the deletion of measures while running an inspection.
This field is available only for STpad, STpalm and STbench.
Enable custom Web links: click on the switch to enable/disable the possibility to navigate the URLs configured in the Application Settings.
This field is available only for STpad, STpalm and STbench.
Enable trace processing: click on the switch to enable/disable the possibility to view and process traces on the measuring device.
This field is available only for STpad and STbench.
Retrieve old results: click on the switch to enable/disable the automatic acquisition of the results stored in the measuring device when connected to QA Supervisor.
This field is available only for QA Station MT/Open Protocol.

If this option is disabled, at least one measurement must be stored in the device before connecting it to QA Supervisor.
License: the license switch is displayed depending on the model of the measuring device selected. The measuring devices without network connectivity (MRTT-C, IRC-Connect, and STwrench) do not show the license switch.Click the License switch to enable the license (the switch becomes blue colored).
The counter on the right of the License switch displays the available license(s) with the total number of enabled license(s) (for example, if the counter is x/y, x is the number of the available license(s) and y is the total number of the enabled license(s)).

The License switch is disabled and the counter is 0/0, if there are no available license(s).
The License switch (and the counter) is not displayed, in case of Unlimited License.
