CHAPTER 2. USBOARD-USS5 2.9. GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
The check boxes next to the sensor numbers indicate whether a sensor is active. Only active sensors are triggered and
read by the USBoard-USS5.
Tip:
Deactivating sensor channels that are not in use will reduce the cycle time for reading all sensors and update
measurements faster. Deactivated channels will be skipped by the USBoard-USS5 without waiting for an echo.
The warning and alarm thresholds of each sensor are displayed on the far right. The current distance measurements
are shown as coloured bars and numerical values in the centre of the box.
Note: The USS5 sensors have an upper and a lower measurement limit (page 12). If an object is detected closer than
the lower limit the message “BLOCKED” is shown instead of the measurement value. If no object can be detected
within the measurement range at all the message “TOO FAR” will be shown.
Analogue Inputs
The measurements of the analogue inputs can be found below the ultrasonic sensor display. The analogue input values
are also shown both as numerical value and as bars. The bars indicate the ratio of the current input voltage relative to
the
maximum input voltage (page 12).
