Counter
Channel
{P1, P2}
Select the channel to which the sensor is connected.
SDI-12
Address
{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
Select the address of the sensor on the SDI-12 bus.
Variable
{1,2,3,4,5}
Select the variable for the sensor.
Sync Serial
No other I/O settings are required for this type of input.
Battery Volts
No other I/O settings are required for this type of input.
Internal Temp
No other I/O settings are required for this type of input.
Up/Dn Encoder
No other I/O settings are required for this type of input.
Derived
Currently, only one type of derived input is supported. This is a lookup function. A lookup table can be
loaded into the DS-4483 logger and used to generate a derived input. For example, a derived ‘sensor’
could be based on a stage level sensor and use the lookup table to output corresponding flow levels.
Sensor
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20}
Select the number of the sensor that is to provide the input for the lookup function.
Function
{Lookup}
Select ‘Lookup’ from the drop-down list.
6.3.1.9 Scaling Setup
Not all of the settings listed below apply to every type of input. For example the Minimum Raw, Maximum
Raw, Minimum E.U and Maximum E.U apply only to Analogue Inputs. The applicability of each setting is
indicated as appropriate.
Minimum Raw
Applies to: Analogue Input
All logged values stored within the logger are stored as integers. This setting indicates the minimum raw
value that can be stored for this particular analogue input. It is unlikely that this setting will need to be
altered.
