GPS channels

GPS channels are sourced from the GPS connector on a CX23-R module.

ClosedGeneric parameters

  • Connector: A unique hardware identifier created by the system. To change the device or connector, select the channel and click Change device.
  • Name: The channel name must be unique and contain valid characters (invalid characters are single and double quotes, '\', '@', '#', '&', '<', '>').
  • Description: Enter an optional detailed description of the channel.
  • Collect: Select the Collect checkbox to write the channel data to the SIE data file during a test run.
  • Chart type: Set the default chart type for the channel. Not in edit dialog.
  • Decimals: Set the default decimal places for channel displays.
  • Sample rate: Set the desired channel sample rate. If the sample rate changes, all dependent computed channels and DataModes are changed automatically.
  • Speed mode: For MX411B-R Highly Dynamic Universal Amplifier channels, select Normal or High for the channel speed mode. To successfully run a test, this channel parameter should match the module speed mode.
  • Measurand: Enter an optional measurement type.
  • Reading: Current value of the channel. Show the readings by selecting the desired channels and clicking Live update. Not in edit dialog.
  • Data type: The format of the channel data output. Not in edit dialog.
  • Expiration time: Specify the time period in seconds that can elapse without data before data is considered stale and the output is set to the invalid value. The value may be any real number greater than zero.
  • Invalid value: Specify the value to be set when the expiration time has elapsed without any data. The value may be any real number.

ClosedScaling parameters

  • Scaling mode: Set the channel scaling mode.
    • Defined slope intercept: Specify the Slope and Intercept of the scaling line.
    • Defined zero span: Specify the Electrical zero of the sensor scaling line. Enter both the Electrical span and the Physical span.
    • Defined two point: Specify the Electrical 1, Physical 1, Electrical 2 and Physical 2 points to define the scaling line.
    • Experimental two point: Use the Experimental two point scaling option to define the two point parameters based on experimental measurements.
  • Electrical units: Electrical units of channel input.
  • Units: Physical units of measurement for the channel.
  • Electrical 1: Specify for Defined two point scaling mode. Automatically set after Experimental two point scaling.
  • Physical 1: Specify for Defined two point scaling mode. Automatically set after Experimental two point scaling.
  • Electrical 2: Specify for Defined two point scaling mode. Automatically set after Experimental two point scaling.
  • Physical 2: Specify for Defined two point scaling mode. Automatically set after Experimental two point scaling.
  • Electrical zero: Specify for Defined zero span scaling mode.
  • Electrical span: Specify for Defined zero span scaling mode.
  • Physical span: Specify for Defined zero span scaling mode.
  • Slope: Specify for Defined slope intercept scaling mode.
  • Intercept: Specify for Defined slope intercept scaling mode.
  • Prerun zero mode: Set to Interactive only to allow channel zeroing.
  • Prerun zero offset: Automatically set after zeroing a channel.
  • Prerun zero target: Specify before zeroing a channel.
  • Range min and max: Specify the expected extreme values of the channel. May be any real number.
