Sensor Type
Selecting the sensor type
Select the sensor connected to the channel from the drop-down list. The sensors
contained in this list are parameterized and no further configuration is required. The
internal pressure sensors (Seba Standard Pressure) of the Sebalog D are also part
of this list. The measuring range of the internal pressure senor can be obtained from
the type number of the logger (see section 2.3). If the sensor type is not contained in
the drop-down list, the customer specific entry has to be selected.
5.2.1.1 Configuring a „Customer Specific“ Sensor
Introduction
The physical value measured by the sensor is transformed into an electrical signal
(e.g. voltage, pulses, frequency) which is used to transmit the data to the logger. In
order to transform this carrier signal back into the original physical values, the logger
needs to know how the ranges are correlated to each other.
If a predefined sensor from the drop-down list has been selected, these parameters
have been automatically populated.
However, in the case of a customer-specific sensor, the input type (carrier) and the
unit of the physical value have to be specified manually. Furthermore, the upper and
lower thresholds of the input signal and the correlating measurement values have to
be specified.
Configuring the input type
Perform the following steps to configure the input type of a customer-specific sensor:
Step
Action
1
Select the type of signal, the sensor uses to pass the measured data to
the logger from the Input type drop-down list.
2
Select the unit of the physical value measured by the sensor from the
Unit drop-down list.
Depending on the selected input type and value, some additional fields
may need to be populated with the upper and lower thresholds of the
input signal and the correlating measurement values.

For detailed information about the input type and the ranges, please
refer to the manual of the connected sensor.
