Timing systems (DH)

On the desk toolbar, the DH button opens DH · Data Handling. Click Add system: a new row appears, where you pick the model and connection type. The star (Make primary) sets which system the Fetch Times button uses — it gets the Primary badge; the bin (Remove system) removes it. You can have several units of the same model — for example, two System 6, main and backup — each with its own port and folder.
