16 INM MTL83xC PC Modbus Rev 1
DRAFT - 06 January 2019
5 .3 .5 Input Zero, Output Zero, Gain
These three fields are used to scale the reading that is made available
via Modbus. These fields are normally used with non-IEEE data formats.
See the chapter on SCALING in the INM838C-MBF manual for more
information.
Numbers may be directly entered in these fields or you may use the Input
Calculator to do some calculations for you and transfer the results to these
fields for the selected channel. The Input Calculator will be covered in a
later section.
5 .3 .6 Reading
This field shows the current reading from a unit if one is connected and
properly communicating. The reading status will be shown below the box
if the reading is not valid (Open, Miswired, etc.).
5 .3 .7 The CJ Channel
The CJ row displays the average temperature of the MTL831C board (there
are 2 temperature sensors on the board).
5 .3 .8 Moving around the Channel List:
A scroll bar is provided on the right side which allows you to scroll through
all 16 channels plus the “CJ” row. You can also use the mouse wheel to
scroll the list of channels.
Channels may be “selected” by clicking anywhere within the rectangular
area that defines the row. A selected row is highlighted blue. Several
standard Windows features are implemented to facilitate working with the
channels. These things are:
Copy - Ctrl C
Paste - Ctrl V
Select All - Ctrl A
Toggle Row selection - Ctrl Click
Update Row Range selection - Shift Click
In addition, right clicking on a row will pop up a menu that allows you to
select Copy, Paste, or launch the Input Calculator. The Edit Menu may
also be used to select some of these features.
