For NetDAQ 2640A and 2645A instruments, this dialog also includes many of
the settings from the 2680A/2686A Module Configuration Dialog.
Module Configuration Dialog
A 2680 Series instrument can have up to 6 modules with specific configuration
settings. The Module Configuration dialog appears when you select a module in
the TreeView. For NetDAQ 2640A and 2645A instruments these settings are on
the Instrument Configuration instead.
Analog Channel Configuration Dialog
Use the Analog Channel Configuration dialog to set function, range, and alarm
information for individual channels. You can also select multiple channels on a
module and set them all at once.
DIO Configuration Dialog
Use the DIO Configuration dialog to enter totalizer configuration information. To
set relays and I/O pins, see the DIO Communication dialog described later in this
Chapter.
Computed Channel Configuration Dialog
2680 Series instruments can have up to 60 computed channels, with all computed
channels available for configuration in one view. NetDAQ instruments have 10
computed channels.
Computed channels provide a way to directly use measurement results in a
calculation. The calculation results can be used to set alarms or as part of other
calculations. A computed channel is inserted in a similar manner as a channel for a
module. Highlight the Computed Channel icon and click on the Insert button.
Detailed instructions for using the Configuration dialogs is provided later in this
Chapter.
Note
Computed channel values are only updated on the 2680A and 2686A
instruments when scanning is active.
