Accessing the Setpoints Window
If applicable, you can open the Setpoints Window from DaqView’s main window as follows:
1. Open the Device pull-down menu.
2. Select “Configure Hardware Settings;” the Configure System Hardware dialog box will
open.
3. At the lower center of the box, click the <Setpoints> button. Note that “Setpoints” is an
advanced feature which is not available to all devices
. If the feature does not apply to your
device, the <Setpoints> button will be grayed-out.
After clicking the <Setpoints> button the DaqView Setpoints window will display.
Input Panel
Input Panel
The Input Panel, located on the left side of the upper window, provides a means of selecting the input
signal which is to be compared to the user-configured criteria. The input signal can be any one analog
channel, digital channel, or counter channel.
It should be noted that P2 Port C comes up as a digital input by software default. However, P2 Port C can
be used as an output signal. The Output Panel text, page 11-4, contains additional information.
Setpoints, in relation to each other, must be assigned to sequentially higher channel
numbers. For example. The source input channel for Setpoint 1 must be higher than
the source input channel number for Setpoint 0. Thus:
Correct:
Setpoint 0 – Channel 0
Setpoint 1 – Channel 1
Wrong:
Setpoint 0 – Channel 1
Setpoint 1 – Channel 0
Note: It is recommended that the Equal to Limit A mode only be used with counter or digital input
channels as the channel source. If similar functionality is desired for analog channels, then the
“Inside Window” mode should be used.
