4.1 CHANNEL SETUP
This menu option enables the user to program the inputs of the recorder. Each channel can
be set up as an analog input
– volts, currents, thermocouple or RTDs, or as digital inputs
from RPM or frequency measurements. There is no need to swap out modules since the
inputs are universal. Filtering may be applied to each channel for stability of readings or to
catch peak values if the display rate is slower than the sample rate. (The unit always
samples at 100 samples per second per channel. For increased accuracy each range may
be calibrated independently. Use the Up Arrow (▲) and Down Arrow (▼) buttons to scroll
and highlight CHAN n SETUP (n = A or B) and press the MENU button. The menu options
are shown expanded below.
