Name Names the channel. Type a name in the box (maximum 30 characters).
Timing Specifies how the timing property is expressed. You can select one of the following:
• Frequency (Hz)
• Time (sec)
• Rate (level units/sec) (block-arbitrary profiles only)
Dimension Displays the dimension for the end levels, such as:
• Force
• Length
• Temperature
• Volume
The dimension defines the control mode in which the level commands will be
performed. For instance, if you select Force for the Dimension, then the level
commands (level 1, level 2) will be played out in force control. The Dimension list
includes four normalized dimensions:
• Percent
• Unitless
• Volts
• Ratio
A normalized dimension is not associated with a specific control mode and is not
assigned engineering units; although it does have a unit. When you select normalized
dimensions you define the dimension and units for the level commands when you
define the profile parameters in the MPT application.
