What is the effect of disabling a module or channel in CSMconfig?

Deactivating a module or channel has the same effect with CAN as well as with ECAT:

• the module/channel is no longer listed in the DBC file or A2L file and is therefore not displayed in the measuring software.
• the module/channel is not taken into account in the "Reconfiguration of all devices" and "Test" functions.
• the channels are still displayed in CSMconfig. To distinguish from active channels, deactivated channels are displayed grayed out.

But:

• Deactivated modules/channels do not reduce the bus load. The data is still transmitted.
• The state is not stored in the measuring module but only displayed graphically.
