CHAPTER 4 CLICK 104

able to configure all other parameters (besides channel input mapping) using the front

panel menu and Click Supervisor.

Note

If any non-switch setting—that is, those that aren’t set by the rotary switch—has
been set using both the front panel menu and Click Supervisor, whichever configura-
tion was set most recently will take precedence.

Rotary Switch

The rotary switch is located on the lower part of the faceplate and can be used to change

the channel input mapping. Remember that if you use this switch to set the channel input

mapping, you won’t be able to use the software or the front panel menu to change this

particular parameter (although you will still be able to use them to change other param-

eters).

Channel input mapping is the process of telling the device which incoming data channels

should be mapped to which outgoing channels. As mentioned earlier, the Click 104 receives

serial datagrams from a sensor to which it is connected. These datagrams can contain many

channels of detection data. Because the devices have fewer output channels than there are

possible input datagram channels received from the sensor, you must use the channel input

map to map the desired inputs to outputs. The Click 104 has four output channels; if you

need more than this, you’ll need to use multiple devices daisy-chained together.

As shown in the table below, the outputs are mapped sequentially—that is, they can only

be mapped in numerically ordered groups of four (1–4, 5–8, etc.). If you set the switch to

3, for 9–12, then input 9 would be mapped to output 1, input 10 would be mapped to out-

put 2, input 11 would be mapped to output 3, and input 12 would be mapped to output 4.
