The foglamp-south-dt9837 plugin is a south plugin that is designed to gather data from a Data Translation DT9873 Series DAQ.

To create a south service with the DT9837

  • Click on South in the left hand menu bar

  • Select dt9837 from the plugin list

  • Name your service and click Next

dt9837_1

  • Configure the plugin

    • Asset Name: The name of the asset that will be created with the values read from the DT9837

    • Scan Rate: The rate at which each channel is read. This may be expressed as a numeric value, in which case it is the number of samples per second, or it may be expressed in KHz or MHz.

    • Input Mode: Defines how the input is treated, it may be either a differential pair or a single ended value with a reference ground.

      dt9837_2

    • Range: This defines the voltage range for all channels. It may be defined as a bipolar value, in which case it is expected the signal can swing between + and - the specified voltage. A uni-polar value, in which case the voltage swing is between ground and the specified voltage. Or it is a 0 to 20mA current loop.

      dt9837_3

    • First Channel: The DT9837 can scan a number of channel in a single operation, these must however be adjunct channels. This option sets the lowest numbered channel to be scanned.

    • Last Channel: The DT9837 can scan a number of channel in a single operation, these must however be adjunct channels. This option sets the highest numbered channel to be scanned.

    • Sensitivity: This sets the sensor sensitivity for IEPE sensors attached to any of the channels.

    • IEPE Ch. 0: Specifies that a IEPE compatible sensor is attached to channel 0.

    • IEPE Ch. 1: Specifies that a IEPE compatible sensor is attached to channel 1.

    • IEPE Ch. 2: Specifies that a IEPE compatible sensor is attached to channel 2.

    • IEPE Ch. 3: Specifies that a IEPE compatible sensor is attached to channel 3.

    • Coupling Ch. 0: Specifies the input coupling to use for channel 0. This setting has no effect if the channel has been setup for IEPE as IEPE always uses AC coupling.

      dt9837_4

    • Coupling Ch. 1: Specifies the input coupling to use for channel 1. This setting has no effect if the channel has been setup for IEPE as IEPE always uses AC coupling.

    • Coupling Ch. 2: Specifies the input coupling to use for channel 2. This setting has no effect if the channel has been setup for IEPE as IEPE always uses AC coupling.

    • Coupling Ch. 3: Specifies the input coupling to use for channel 3. This setting has no effect if the channel has been setup for IEPE as IEPE always uses AC coupling.
