Available Inputs are shown on the Select
Input screen. If an option card is installed,
additional Inputs may be available and are
designated by their slot within the system.
The screen to the right depicts an Analog/
Digital expansion module installed in Slot
1.
Select the desired Input and press the
OK button to open the Properties for that
Input. Deselecting the checkbox at the
bottom of the Select Input screen causes
the Edit Task screen to be displayed
rather than the selected Input’s Properties
screen. Each Input typically has distinct
properties applicable only to itself. An
example Analog In Properties is shown
below. After modifying the Properties for
an Input, press the OK button to save the
changes.
Each Input can have its own individual
Scan Rate as shown on the Task’s Input
Properties page. Input Properties screens
are accessed through either selecting
a new Input or pressing the Edit Input
button on the Edit Task screen. Simple
scan rates can be edited by pressing the
Edit button next to the current Scan Rate.
Advanced Scanning Options such as
Scan Offsets, Start/Stop Times and Scan
Intervals can be attributed to individual
Tasks by pressing the Advanced (Adv)
button.
Adjusting the Scan Rate
The Scan Rate defines the interval at which the Task will acquire a new measurement or retrieve
a new value. This value is based off a 24-hour format with 00:00:00 indicating 24 hours. The
format is HH:MM:SS.
