# Connecting a Tool to a Virtual Station

A virtual station can only have one tool connected. Just one of the tools connected to a controller can be a cable tool. Added virtual stations can connect wireless tools paired to the controller.

Each virtual station needs to have one tool configuration in addition to the tool. The tool configurations are created in the Configurations tab.

1. On the home view, go to the Virtual station menu and select the virtual station you want to connect the tool to on the left pane.

2. On the Tool window, select Choose tool to open the list of available tools.

   Or, if a tool is already chosen, select Change tool to open the list of tools available to change to.

3. On the list of available tools, tap the desired tool to connect it to the virtual station.
   Use the Search box, the scroll bar and the Filter button to search for a tool. For more information, see Filtering, Sorting and Searching for Tools in a Virtual Station.

   Non-available tools will be greyed out. To connect a greyed out tool to a virtual station, first disconnect it from its virtual station.

4. When the new tool is connected, assign a configuration to the tool on the Tool window. If there are more than one configuration available, a list of tool configurations appears.

5. To replace the tool configuration for the virtual station:

   - Select the ellipsis icon beside the name of the current configuration. A list of available configurations appears.

   - Choose another configuration from the list.

   It is not possible to deselect a configuration, only to select another available configuration.
