Options Menu: Inputs
This window allows you to define which readings will be displayed in the
Meter window. You may select data acquisition Device 1 through 15, the input
Function...None, Analog In, Digital In, Pulse In, Time, Date (from the PC
clock), and which Channel on that device will be assigned that input function .
Window Label The first column accepts a typed in label for that Input Meter window, in place
of the default label.
Analog Input Range When you select Analog In, you may select the input Range from a table that
will depend on the ranges available on the device you have connected to your
PC.
Resolution The column Resolution allows selection of A/D resolution, again dependent on
the device connected. Some devices allow for averaging the samples to reduce
noise. Also, Low Noise mode is effective in greatly reducing AC line
interference.
Scale
When you click on the radio button Scale = mX + b, a new field opens to allow
you to enter coefficients for a linear scaling of the analog input readings into
engineering units
Log & Chart
Log and Chart columns allow you to select whether this channel will be logged
to disk and/or displayed on the Chart. At least one channel must have the Log
box checked to have logging to disk. At least one channel must have the Chart
box checked to have a trace on the chart.
Options Menu: Output Meters
The functions in this menu are similar to the Input Meters Options menu
described above but these selections operate on the output signals: Analog and
Digital.
Options Menu: Chart
This window allows you to customize the appearance of the Y-t Chart display.
All of the parameters are available in one window, as opposed to the function
of the Chart menu described below, where an abbreviated set of attributes are
accessible separately in the menu.
Options Menu: Colors
And Lines Chart Colors and Lines can be used to select colors and line types on the chart.
