If configuration is required, the new sensor must be connected to the Processor Unit with a
dedicated interface unit or cable.
Context
The
PX MultiSensor Configurator
dialog boxes allow you to set up which measurements the
sensor shall make, the communication channel and some other relevant parameters.
Depending on your hardware configuration and the type of sensor, you may configure two
measurements or up to five.
By default, PX MultiSensor mk2, PX Universal, and PX MultiCatch sensors can send 2
measurements. When interfacing a SR type receiver unit, a PX Family sensor can send up
to five measurements. When interfacing a PI type receiver unit, the maximum number of
measurements a sensor can send is two. If you wish to make more than two measurements
with your sensor, an additional license is required. Remote functions are not considered a
measurement.
Note
The TV80only allows you to configure PX sensors. If you wish to use older sensors (not PX
family), these must be configured using their dedicated applications before you add them.
