Input channel generic parameters

  • Connection: A unique hardware identifier created by the system.
  • TEDS: For MX module channels with TEDS sensors connected, an icon is displayed with the TEDS status. Not in edit dialog. See Configuring TEDS sensors for more information.
  • SDB: For MX module channels with HBM sensor databases applied, an icon is displayed with the SDB status. Not in edit dialog.
  • Reading: Current value of the channel. Show the readings by selecting the desired channels and clicking Live update. Not in edit dialog.
  • Units: The reading unit description shows in this column.
  • Name: The channel name must be unique and contain valid characters (invalid characters are single and double quotes, '\', '@', '#', '&', '<' and '>'). Invalid channel names are 'true' and 'false' (case sensitive).
  • 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.
  • Filter type: Set the type of filter for the channel to None, Linear phase (FIR), Butterworth (FIR), Butterworth (IIR) or Bessel (IIR).
  • Filter frequency: Set the frequency of the selected filter. The options vary based on the filter type.
  • Speed mode: For MX411B-R Highly Dynamic Universal Module 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.
  • Data type: The format of the channel data output (read only).
