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.
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.
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.
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.
