X-317™ Users Manual
Operation
Header
Displays the text entered in the Main Header Text field on the
Control Page Setup
tab in the setup
pages.
Output 1-5
These rows display the current state of the five analog outputs and allow the user to set (change)
the output value. The text in the left column (by default reads Output 1, Output 2, etc.) is specified in
the Description field in the
Analog Outputs
tab in the setup pages. The current analog output value
is shown to the right of the description text. Next, (in this example) the current analog output of the
digital to analog converter is shown in units of volts or mA. To the right, a blank data entry box is
provided to enter a new output setting. After entering a value, click the
Set
button to make the
output change. On the far right the valid range for the setting is shown. If the output value is set
above or below the valid range the setting is automatically forced to the max on min value.
The display and set fields are typically configured for descriptive user engineering units such as feet,
meters, mph etc. These settings are internally processed with a Y=mX+b equation to generate the
actual output of the digital to analog converter. If the
Display Raw Analog Outputs
box has been
checked in the
Control Page Setup
tab the actual output of the digital to analog converter is also
shown.
External Variables
These rows display the current state of the four external variables. These rows can be displayed (as
shown) or not displayed by checking or unchecking the appropriate boxes in the extVar setup page.
The text in the left column is specified in the Description field on the extVar setup page. The state of
the extVar is shown to the right of the description text. By default the status text will read
ON
or
OFF
.
To the right of the extVar status, buttons and an input box are provided to control the state/value of
the external variable.
