• CLICK 104
able to configure all other parameters (besides channel input mapping) using the front
panel menu and Click Supervisor.
Note
If any non-switch setting—that is, those that aren’t set by the rotary switch—has
been set using both the front panel menu and Click Supervisor, whichever configura-
tion was set most recently will take precedence.
Rotary Switch
The rotary switch is located on the lower part of the faceplate and can be used to change
the channel input mapping. Remember that if you use this switch to set the channel input
mapping, you won’t be able to use the software or the front panel menu to change this
particular parameter (although you will still be able to use them to change other param-
eters).
Channel input mapping is the process of telling the device which incoming data channels
should be mapped to which outgoing channels. As mentioned earlier, the Click 104 receives
serial datagrams from a sensor to which it is connected. These datagrams can contain many
channels of detection data. Because the devices have fewer output channels than there are
possible input datagram channels received from the sensor, you must use the channel input
map to map the desired inputs to outputs. The Click 104 has four output channels; if you
need more than this, you’ll need to use multiple devices daisy-chained together.
As shown in the table below, the outputs are mapped sequentially—that is, they can only
be mapped in numerically ordered groups of four (1–4, 5–8, etc.). If you set the switch to
3, for 9–12, then input 9 would be mapped to output 1, input 10 would be mapped to out-
put 2, input 11 would be mapped to output 3, and input 12 would be mapped to output 4.
