46 Configuration Parameters
Channel Parameters The channel parameters define the characteristics of the transducers you will
be using with the Absolute Shaft module. Use the parameters to configure the
transducer sensitivity, operating range, and power requirements. There are two
instances of the channel parameters, one for each channel.
The Absolute Shaft module requires the correct transducers.
• Channel 1 must be connected to a non-contact probe measuring
acceleration in mils or µm.
• Channel 2 must be connected to a 9000 series sensor measuring
acceleration or velocity in ips, mm/sec or g’s.
Channel Parameters
Parameter Name Description Values/Comments
Channel Name (XM Serial
Configuration Utility only) A descriptive name to help identify the channel in
the XM Serial Configuration Utility. Maximum 18 characters
Controls whether to provide standard accelerometer
(IEPE) power to the transducer (channel 2 only). Refer
to Connecting the Transducers on page 27 for wiring
requirements.
The type of case sensor wired to channel 2. Options: 9100VO
9000A
9100CSA
9100T
Sensitivity The sensitivity of the transducer in millivolts per
Eng. Unit. The sensitivity value is included with
the transducer’s documentation or it
may be imprinted on the side of the
transducer.
Eng. Units Defines the native units of the transducer. Your
choice controls the list of possible selections
available in the Output Data Units parameter. It
also affects other module parameters.
Fault Low The minimum, or most negative, expected DC
voltage from the transducer. Volts
Note: A voltage reading outside this
range constitutes a transducer fault.
Fault High The maximum expected DC bias voltage from the
transducer.
