Parameters for ES420 Thermo Module

The following list shows the module parameters for the ES420 temperature measurement module:

Enter a number to change the channel sequence.

For example, if you enter 1 for channel 3, this channel comes first. The original channel 1 is then moved to position 3.

Shows the name of the channel.

Defines the physical unit for displaying the measure variable (°Celsius or °Fahrenheit).

The selected unit appears in the corresponding measure windows.

Defines the default acquisition rate necessary for your measurement task.

The acquisition rate can be selected separately for each channel of a device. It is used as default rate within the measuring environment (e.g. INCA Experiment Environment), but you can overwrite it (e.g. in INCA's Configure Variables dialog).

Note

A large number of channels with high acquisition rate can push your system to its performance limits.

If the device has only one acquisition rate, this value cannot be edited.

Defines the currently used sensor type.

To facilitate the identification of the connected sensors, the background of the Sensor type field has the same color encoding as the sensor itself.

This entry affects the physical measurement range that is actually possible (Real range min./Real range max.).

Note

The type is not detected automatically and must be assigned manually.

Shows the conversion formula used for the hardware module.

You cannot edit this field.

Enter the lower limit of the expected physical measurement range.

This value is used together with the Formula parameters to calculate the amplification factor.

The highest amplification factor possible is selected to ensure that none of the connected channels is overloaded.

Enter the upper limit of the expected physical measurement range.

This value is used together with the Formula parameters to calculate the amplification factor.

The highest amplification factor possible is selected to ensure that none of the connected channels is overloaded.

Shows the lower physical limit of the measurement range actually possible for this channel.

This value is determined by the entry under Sensor type.

You cannot edit this field.

Shows the upper physical limit of the measurement range actually possible for this channel.

This value is determined by the entry under Sensor type.

You cannot edit this field.
