2.3.5 EIGHT / SIXTEEN CHANNEL MODES
The system menu allows setting the C1 controller to accept either 8, or, 16 channels. If 8
channels are selected by this menu they are channels 1-8 and 9-16 are disabled. One way
C1 cost is kept low is Input / Output option PCB’s are arranged into groups of 8 channels.
Therefore, users with less than 9 channels require only 1 PCB and do not pay for I/O
hardware for 16 channels. If more than 8 channels are needed a second I/O option PCB
may be required.

2.3.6 SENSOR INFORMATION
Sensor Info is available when at least one channel has Sensor Life activated in the
Marker menu (see section 2.2.4b). The Sensor Info screen displays each channel’s
sensor status as illustrated in Figure 2.16. Channels with Sensor Life disabled indicate
Option Disabled above the corresponding empty bar-graph. If Sensor Life is enabled,
the channel will have its Measurement Name above the bar, or, an empty bar with a Cal
Required
label.
Cal Required
indicates no Calibration Marker value has been
received by the C1.
