Advanced Settings
You should not normally need to change these settings.
Items you can change:
Sleep Delay
Here you can enter a delay in seconds after which the acquisition module will
return to deep sleep if no Keep Awake message is heard from the T24-HS
handheld. The default is 60 seconds.
Data Tag
The data transmitted by the acquisition module is marked with a Data Tag
which is a 2 byte hexadecimal code. By default this is set to the last 2 bytes of
the device ID (or to put it another way, the last 4 characters of the device ID).
If by some chance you had two acquisition module devices that would be
working on the same channel and had the same last 4 characters in their ID (1
in 65,535 chances) you may want to change the data Tag of one of the devices
and perform pairing again with the T24-HS handheld.
Startup Time
Some acquisition modules power a sensor from their excitation voltage. When
coupled to a sensor with a slow startup time this setting is used to delay the
measurement after wakeup from sleep between readings. This gives the sensor
time to settle at the expense of battery life.
For strain gauge inputs this settings should be zero.
LED Mirror to Digital Output
When set to Yes each time the LED is active the digital output is active.
This can be useful if the module is to be encapsulated or enclosed and enables
a second LED to be externally mounted. This is very useful when using a T24-
HR roaming handheld as the acquisition module LED will activate while the
handheld is in communications with the module.
Transmit power
Set the transmit power level from 0 – 100%. Default is 100%
