Scale and Offset
Wizard
A Wizard is provided that is accessed by clicking the Slope and Offset Wizard button.
Different screens are displayed depending on the type of user-configurable module
attached to the logger. An example window that requests user-defined parameters for
Slope and Offset calculations is shown below. The Wizard that appears is based on
the module selected.
Simply follow the step-by-step instructions on the window that appears, and be certain
to click on the Calculate button at Step 3, and OK to return to the Configuration
Parameters window where the Wizard automatically transfers the Slope, Offset and
Output Units into their respective fields. The Wizard also provides a Help option to
address user questions.
Command
Buttons
There are various command buttons on the right-hand side of the Configure screen,
described below:
Read Channels. The Read Channels command uses the Auto-ID feature to compare
on a channel by channel basis the module configuration information stored in the MDL
with the actual module types that may be currently installed in any of the four channel
slots.
If the stored configuration module type is the same as the actual module type, the
stored configuration information (module type, slope, offset, etc.) is used. If the module
slot is empty, the configuration is changed to Not In Use.
Note:
If the stored configuration module type is not the same as the actual module
type installed in the channel slot, the actual module type is used. Default
values are used for the required channel configuration information. It is good
practice to visually verify that the module type displayed matches the module
type used on a channel-by-channel basis.
