4 Hardware resources
To use all hardware resources in a program, the device must be configured. The
configuration is carried out in ALP and is transferred as a part of user project to the device
memory. The configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory of the device and
are safe when the device is powered off.
The device can also be configured with the function buttons via the system menu without
being connected to ALP (sect. 5.2). If some parameter has been changed this way, it has to
be taken from the device memory into the ALP project in order to keep the project
syncronized. Use
Read
button in the corresponding mask in the configuration window.
The following hardware can be configured:
Display
Clock
Interfaces (sect. 4.3)
Extension modules
Inputs (sect. 4.1)
Outputs (sect.4 2)
See ALP Help for detailed information about configuration.
4.1
Analog inputs AI1…AI4
To configure analog inputs use the ALP menu item
Device > Configuration
. Open the node
Inputs > Analog
in the open window
Device configuration
(Fig. 4.1) and select an analog
input.

For quick access select an input in the circuit program and use Property Box (see Fig. 4.2) to
set the parameters. The parameter
Input mode
has to be set first.
