Figure 3: Connecting 3-wire PT 100
When working with a 3-wire PT 100, inputs 5 to 8 are not available and you can connect up to 4 sensors.
Sensor Mismatch
After logging begins,
DaqPRO
checks if the sensor type assigned to each channel matches the attached
sensor. If there is a mismatch,
DaqPRO
disconnects the corresponding input and displays a warning
message:
Illegal sensor
(refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide
1.1.4.
User Defined Sensors
DaqPRO
provides a simple and straightforward tool for defining up to 20 custom sensors. Almost any 0
–
10V and 0
–
24mA sensor or transducer is accepted by
DaqPRO
and its electrical units are
automatically scaled to meaningful user-defined engineering units.
The sensor definitions are stored in
DaqPRO
’
s memory and are added to the sensors list. The sensor
’
s
readings are displayed in the user defined units both on
DaqPRO
’
s LCD screen and DaqLab software.
To learn how to define custom sensors refer to section
For further manipulating sensors readings use the Analysis wizard (refer to page 69).
