Channels

Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Description

Provide a description of the channel, making it easier to identify.

 

Data Options: Maximum 20 characters, including spaces

Output Mode

When selected, the channel will drive the line (output). The internal jumpers

 

must match the software configuration, so if you change this setting to Output

 

Mode, you will have to also change the internal hardware jumpers.

 

Default: Disabled

Type

Specify the type of digital output.

 

Data Options:

 

z Sink—Specifies that the channel will be grounded when active.

 

z Source—Specifies that the channel will provide voltage when active.

 

z Sink and Source—Specifies that channel will be grounded when it is

 

inactive and will provide voltage when it is active.

 

Default: Sink

Output

Specify how the channel output will be handled.

 

Data Options:

 

z Manual—You must manually manipulate the channel output.

 

z Pulse—Activates and deactivates the channel output activity in intervals

 

after it is manually activated.

 

z Inactive-to-ActiveDelay—The channel output will remain inactive for

 

the specified time interval after it is manually started.

 

z Active-to-InactiveDelay—The channel output will go inactive after the

 

specified time interval after it is manually started.

 

Default: Manual
