MP2 User Guide
9.1.4
Offset
The offset field is used for any analog sensor to correct the reading of the input. The MP2 will read the
input and add the offset value automatically so all alarms, logging and display screens show the
corrected value.
9.1.5
Custom Low
This field is used when selecting the CUSTOM input type and will be the value displayed when the input
is reading the minimum value or 0 VDC in. The MP2 will use this value along with the Custom High value
to create a scale and display the sensor in the correct engineering units
9.1.6
Custom High
Used in conjunction with the Custom Low field to create a scale for the sensor attached to the input.
The High value is the reading the sensor would have if the input is at maximum input value or 6 VDC.
Quest has created a special Excel spreadsheet for calculating the minimum and maximum values based
on your sensor output. Contact Quest to obtain a copy of this file for your use.
9.1.7
Log Type
Choose between TIME for a timed interval, COS for change of state or NONE to disable the logging for
the input. The TIME option is best for analog sensors to log on a user specified interval. Using COS for
digital inputs will optimize your logging to only put entries in the historical log when the point changes
its ON/OFF state. If you select COS for an analog input, the system will log whenever the input value
changes. Needless to say, this will fill up your log rather quickly if you decide to use COS on an analog
point.
9.1.8
Log Interval
This is the logging interval in minutes when you select a log type of TIME. The field will allow values
between 1 and 120 minutes for the interval.

Output Programming
The program outputs page will show the current settings for the four outputs. The output name is a
hyperlink that when clicked on will bring up the change settings window for that output.
