Type This is the type of instrument that will be connected to the selected channel.
Instrument Types include: Accelerometer, Velocity, X probe, Y probe, Z probe, and
Tach. Make your selection on the pull down menu. If no instrument will be
connected to the channel select “unused.”
You must have 1 Tach Channel and 1 or more Response Channels.
For IOtech 650 units, CH5 should never be configured as an accelerometer channel
since it has no IEPE capability.
Name Enter a name, or label, for the selected channel.
Gauge Min
Gauge Max Enter the instrument Range: Minimum and Maximum in engineering units.
Units Default engineering units are based on the Instrument Type selected. To change the
units, double-click on the cell and type in the desired unit label.
In regard to selecting an IOtech 650 unit channel Type [preceding table], channel 5
should never be configured for accelerometer input. This is because channel 5 has
no IEPE capability.
