Accessing the Setpoints Window
If applicable, you can open the Setpoints Window from DaqView’s main window as follows:
1. Open the Device pull-down menu.
2. Select “Configure Hardware Settings;” the Configure System Hardware dialog box will
open.
3. At the lower center of the box, click the button. Note that “Setpoints” is an
advanced feature which is not available to all devices. If the feature does not apply to your
device, the button will be grayed-out.
After clicking the button the DaqView Setpoints window will display.
Input Panel
Input Panel
The Input Panel, located on the left side of the upper window, provides a means of selecting the input
signal which is to be compared to the user-configured criteria. The input signal can be any one analog
channel, digital channel, or counter channel.
It should be noted that P2 Port C comes up as a digital input by software default. However, P2 Port C can
be used as an output signal. The Output Panel text, page 11-4, contains additional information.
Setpoints, in relation to each other, must be assigned to sequentially higher channel
numbers. For example. The source input channel for Setpoint 1 must be higher than
the source input channel number for Setpoint 0. Thus:
Correct:
Setpoint 0 – Channel 0
Setpoint 1 – Channel 1
Wrong:
Setpoint 0 – Channel 1
Setpoint 1 – Channel 0
Note
: It is recommended that the Equal to Limit A mode only be used with counter or digital input
channels as the channel source. If similar functionality is desired for analog channels, then the
“Inside Window” mode should be used.
