Figure 14: List of sensors connected to DAQU unit.
Each row in the table corresponds to one DAQU channel. Channels are labelled as combination of one
capital letter and one number. Letter defines the channel type, while the number enumerates channels of
each type.
Four channel types are used in DAQU:
•
A: analog channels with –2.5 V to +2.5 V input, which are typically used to connect resistive
sensors and thermocouples.
•
B: analog channels with 0 to +5 V input, used to read active sensors. Active sensors require power
in order to operate properly.
•
C: analog channel with 0 to +30 V input, used to read higher voltage levels.
•
Z: digital channels, used to measure time between pulses.
Please refer to the DAQU Manual for more details.
After sensors are connected to the DAQU unit, each sensor needs to be configured. Select the appropriable
channel from the list by using
up
and
down
button and confirm selection by pushing the
check
button.
Window illustrated on Figure 15 opens.
