60 Configuration Parameters
Channel Transducer
Parameters The channel transducer parameters define the characteristics of the
transducers you will be using with the module. Use the parameters to
configure the transducer sensitivity and operating range. There are six
instances of the channel transducer parameters, one for each channel.
Manual setting of the buffer power circuits.
Determines whether the buffered output circuits
swing the positive range (nominally +0.6V dc to
+22.5V dc) or the negative range (-22V dc to +3V dc).
See Auto Buffer Power for more details. Options: Positive
Negative
Note: In the XM Configuration Utility,
this parameter is available only when
Auto Buffer Power and IEPE
Voltage Boost are disabled.
Note: This parameter setting applies
to all six channels.
Buffer Pwr Status (EDS File only) Shows the actual buffer power setting.
Important: If you change any of the Buffer settings
and download to the module, the Buffer Pwr Status
will not change immediately. Wait approximately
five seconds and upload the configuration from the
module to correctly show the setting.
Options: Positive
Negative
Note: In the XM Configuration Utility,
the Buffer Power Type parameter
shows the actual buffer power setting.

TIP
The Channel LED will flash red when a transducer fault
condition exists on the channel even if you are not using
the channel. You can keep the Channel LED from flashing
red on unused channels by setting the unused channel’s
Fault High and Fault Low to greater than zero and less
than zero, respectively. For example, set Fault High to +40
volts and set Fault Low to -40 volts.
Channel Transducer Parameters
Parameter Name Description Values/Comments
Channel Name (XM Serial
Configuration Utility only) A descriptive name to help identify the channel in
the XM Serial Configuration Utility. Maximum 18 characters
Sensitivity The sensitivity of the transducer in millivolts per
Eng. Unit. The sensitivity value is included with
the transducer’s documentation or it
may be imprinted on the side of the
transducer.
