Sensor Control
The Sensor Control panel allows the users to enable and disable the various sensors individually. There
are two ways to control sensors:
•
To enable an individual sensor at a default operation rate, use the check box on the right end of
the row for each sensor.
•
To enable sensors at specific rates, input the requested operation period, in microseconds, in
the 'Requested Period (us)" fields. Then click the "Set Sensor Periods" button on the top of the
panel. All sensors will be updated with specified operating period. The "Requested Period (us)"
fields which are left blanked or obtained invalid value are assumed to be "zero".
In many cases, the sensors do not operate at the exact rate as requested. The actual operating period is
shown in the "Reported Period (us)" field. Users can also use the "Get Sensor Periods" button on top of
the panel to refresh the actual operating period for all sensors.
