MSI series interfaces
Most DEWETRON instruments are compatible with MSI series intelligent sensor interfaces. Exactly which
MSI interfaces can be used depends entirely on which signal conditioners are installed within your system.
The table on the next page cross references the compatibility of each MSI with various Dewetron DAQ and
MDAQ series signal conditioners, so please refer to that table when choosing MSIs for your system.
Several MSIs are available for both bridge series modules and voltage input modules, namely the ACC,
V200, and charge adapters.
When you plug in an MSI interface to any of the analog inputs, it should show up automatically on the
SETUP screen within DS-7, within the AMPLIFIER column.
- Note - if your MSI interfaces are NOT showing up on the screen as shown above, then there are two possible
explanations:
1. You have not upgraded your software to DS 7.0 or higher
2. Perhaps MSIs are not activated at the hardware setup level. To remedy this, please click the SETTINGS
menu then select HARDWARE SETUP. On the analog page, ensure that the checkbox for MSIs is
checked, then click OK to save this setting.
- Note - please make sure that any conditioners that you have are checkmarked on this screen.
If you are using DS-7 and have activated MSI interface as described above, and MSI interfaces are still not
showing up when plugged into your analog inputs, please contact us for technical support. Be sure to try
more than one MSI interface, to rule out a defective MSI interface being the cause of this problem.
