Field
Description
Channel
Indicates the four input channels 0…3.
Sensor Type
Specifies the sensor type for each channel.
To learn more about sensor types, see
Units
Refers to the temperature unit that will be used.
Available in °C and °F.
When the RTD sensor type is set to Ohms, the temperature unit field
is not available.
Digital Filter
Choose a value in milliseconds that specifies the time constant for a
digital first order lag filter on the input. A value of 0 disables the
filter. Valid filter range is 1…10000.
Notch Filter
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) filter removes line noise in your
application for each channel.
Choose a notch filter that most closely matches the anticipated noise
frequency in your application. Remember that each filter time affects
the response time of your module. Also, the highest frequency notch
filter settings also limit the effective resolution of the channel.
High Engineering
Low Engineering
High Engineering and Low Engineering values are determined by the
Sensor Type selected for each channel. The corresponding values for
each sensor type are listed in the table,
