Now add more DT800 channels to schedule A.
Because they’re all on schedule A, they’ll all be read
every 5 seconds.
You’ll add
• channel 6 — to be read as a voltage
• channel 7 — to be read as a voltage
• channels 9 to 12 — to be read as thermocouples.
If you have actual sensors you want to connect them to
these channels, do it now. If you haven’t, don’t worry
— you’ll still be able to work through this tutorial and
see data returned (although the data will be nonsense).
➲
Use row 2 (
R2
) to instruct the DT800 to
read its channel 6 as an unshared differential
+/– voltage.
To do this…
a) Single-click in the
Signal
column of
R2
.
b) Click the drop-down list button that appears and
choose
Voltage
.
c) In the
Wiring
column of
R2
, click the Configure
button
.
The Voltage Wiring dialog box opens for row 2
(Figure 56).
d) In the
Start Channel
field at the top of the Voltage
Wiring dialog box, click the up button
until the
field contains
6
.
Notice that the number in the End Channel field also
changes to 6.
e) Leave the
Differ/–
configuration selected
OK
.
Channel 6’s channel definition (R2) should look like
Figure 60 on page 58.
Leave the
Differ/–
option selected.
Set the Start Channel
to
6
.
