ADC Configuration
The ADC configuration configures the AUX ADC frequency and decimation ratio.
Only press the “START ADC MEASUREMENTS” button after the desired AUX Selection and
Absolute/Ratiometric Selections have been chosen and written to the devices. Decimation Ratio is 256 by

AUX ADC Selection
The AUX ADC selects channels for the AUX ADC to measure.
All AUX ADC channels available for measurement are available from this selection. Select the desired
AUX measurements to be made. (# 1 in
). Once selections have been made, use the “Write”
command button (# 2 in
), followed by the “START ADC MEASUREMENTS” button (# 3 in
