Configuration Parameter Settings
Channel | The input channel’s name (not editable) |
| AN1D = analog channel 1, differential input |
| AN1H = analog channel 1, |
| AN1L = analog channel 1, |
| Etc. |
|
|
Nickname | You can specify the Nickname (e.g., Oven 1, Monitor |
| Room) |
|
|
Units | You can specify the Engineering Unit. When switching |
| between voltage and thermocouple ranges, this will |
| automatically switch to the default units for that range. |
| However, any units label may be typed in here. |
|
|
On/Off | To turn on or turn off the selected input channel |
|
|
Single/Diff | You can select input channel as |
| Differential input. |
|
|
Range | You can select the voltage input range or thermocouple |
| type for each input channel. Thermocouples must |
| always be used with Differential input. |
|
|
Scale and | You can rescale the input signal. This scaled/offset |
Offset | value will appear in all data displays, and in any saved |
| data files. |
|
|
Sampling can be set in terms of “Scan Rate” or “Scan Time”.
Scan Rate = 1/(Scan Time).
For example, if you are acquiring 4 voltage inputs at 250 Hz, you will receive 250 complete scans per second. Meaning each channel will send 250 pieces of data every second, for a total of (4 x 250) = 1000 pieces of data.
The maximum scan rate is affected by the number of channels turned on. Selecting thermocouple input also lowers the maximum scan rate.
