Input Channel Calibration and Test
Service mode allows inputs to be calibrated in exactly the same way as described in 5.6 - Input
Channel Calibration, but adds an
Examine and Test
button:
The Examine and Test button allows the user to get real-time readings from the sensor, in the same
way as the magnifying glass icon available in the
Change Input Setup
page.
However, for counter and event inputs, a test mode is also available:
Selecting
Enable test mode
resets the displayed reading to 0, without affecting any logged data. A
known number of pulses can now be input (for example, a fixed amount of water poured into a rain
gauge) and the reading updated to check that the expected quantity was read.
Disabling test mode restores the reading to the value it had before entering test mode – any test tips
or pulses are discarded and are not logged.
