Comm Port: Selects the serial port used to communicate with the PLC. The Comm
Port drop down lists available ports. However, some of the ports may be used by other
devices (modem, mouse, etc.). Select Disabled to prevent I/O from using the PLC.

Period: Sets the measurement period between .2 seconds (5 readings per second) and
2 seconds. A longer period gives higher reading accuracy, especially at low rates.

Filter: Sets the number of readings used in the reading filter. A low setting gives rapid
response to process changes, high settings give smoother graphs.

Address: Sets the address of the SQM-142 card in the computer’s address space. See
the SQM-142 Chapter of this manual for detailed setup instructions.

Interrupt: Sets the interrupt used by the card. See the SQM-142 Chapter of this
manual for detailed setup instructions.

5-8 and outputs 3 and 4.

Front Panel Enabled: When used with the SRC series computer, enables/disables the
SQS-142 software to read the SoftKeys and setting knob.
