The meanings of the terms in the
.DDS
file are as follows:
[Scale1]
A unique number, from 1 to 99, to identify this entry. (Pico-created numbers are
from 100 upwards.)
Resistor=1
The ID resistor value in kiloohms. In this example "
1
" represents 1k, "
2.2
"
represents 2k2 and so on.
For external sensors, this resistor should be fitted in the sensor. You must use one
of the following resistors: 1k0, 2k2, 3k3, 5k6, 7k5 or 10k. The resistor must be 1%
tolerance or better.
For internal sensors, use the following 'virtual' resistor values:
1
Sound Waveform
1200
2
Sound Level
1300
3
Voltage
1500
4
Resistance
1600
5
pH
1400
6
Temperature
1100
7
