  • Input Name — A user-friendly name for the input.

  • Input Type — The measurement type in either volts or milli-volts.

  • Input Maximum Value — Maximum input value for the input in volts/milli-volts (as selected in Input Type). This value must be greater than the Input Minimum Value.

  • Input Minimum Value — Minimum input value for the input in volts/milli-volts (as selected in Input Type). This value must be greater than the Input Maximum Value.

  • Scaled Label — A user-friendly name for the value, such as amps. Unit labels may be selected from predefined options in a drop-down menu, or a user-supplied label of up to 20 characters can be entered.

  • Scaled Maximum Value — Defines the maximum value that the input will be scaled. This value must be greater than the Scaled Minimum Value.

  • Scaled Minimum Value — Defines the minimum value that the input will be scaled. This value must be greater than the Scaled Maximum Value.

  • Alarm Persistence — The number of samples the channel must complete while in a particular state before that state is recognized as an alarm.

  • High Alarm Enable — Enables or disables an alarm for a high input measurement.

  • High Alarm Threshold — When a high alarm is enabled, the measurement value of when a high alarm will be sent.

  • High Alarm Deadband — When a high alarm is enabled, the measurement value of a buffer zone between the input measurement and the High Alarm Threshold. The deadband is an area of equal value above and below the alarm value.

  • Low Alarm Enable — Enables or disables an alarm for a low input measurement.

  • Low Alarm Value — When a low alarm is enabled, the measurement value of when a low alarm will be sent.

  • Low Alarm Deadband — When a low alarm is enabled, the measurement value of a buffer zone between the input measurement and the High Alarm Threshold. The deadband is an area of equal value above and below the alarm value.

  • Transmit Alarm Clear — A message is sent when the channel goes out of alarm.
