3.7.3 SetSensorType()
Function:
Declares the sensor type to be interfaced to the specified channel.
The sensor type is specified by means of a Logical Sensor Definition Code (LSDC). Not all LSDC values are
supported by all Smart A/D™ products; refer to your hardware documentation for a complete list of supported
sensor types and input rangesUse of illegal or unsupported LSDC values may cause unpredictable results.
Do not confuse the LSDC with the native SDC that may be discussed in your hardware documentation. The LSDC
values are valid for all Smart A/D™ models, while the native SDC values, which are described in your hardware
documentation, are specific to each product model and may deviate from one model to another.
