Setting DIO as an Input
To use a DIO pin as an input, make sure it is set to
Active Low
(default) in the
Output Tab
in SYNC.
Then, in the
Input Tab
, select a
Type
from the drop-down which includes DIO. Each DIO pin has an
internal pull-up, but to save power, the internal pull-up is only active when the unit takes a reading.
Advanced Scaling Options
The Omega Link SP-003/SP-004 allows for advanced scaling options on process and pulse inputs only. The
Advanced Scaling
checkbox can be selected to expand additional configuration options. A gain and/or
offset can be applied to the input reading and the displayed unit can be changed.
To apply a gain or offset to the input, expand the
Scaling
menu and ensure that
Apply Scaling
is checked.
There, the gain and offset values can be adjusted. Both positive and negative values may be entered as well
as decimal numbers. The equation for the scaled input value is given below.
𝑰𝒏𝒑𝒖𝒕
𝑺𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒅
= (𝑰𝒏𝒑𝒖𝒕
𝑹𝒂𝒘
× 𝑮𝒂𝒊𝒏) + 𝑶𝒇𝒇𝒔𝒆𝒕
The displayed units can be changed by entering a new value in the
Unit
field and clicking
Apply Settings
.
This field is limited to a maximum of 4 characters. Note that changing the Unit field does not change the
base unit type, only the display name. The
Lock
checkbox must be selected to use the user-defined Unit
field. Unchecking the Lock checkbox and clicking
Apply Settings
will revert the unit display back to the
default setting.
