4/4/4/0
4/4/4/4
4/8/0/0

Specifies the

iQUBE

system configuration.

The first value (8 or 4) designates the number of channels on the

iQUBE

primary board;

the remaining three values represent attached secondary units, if any, and the number of
channels on each secondary board.

NOTE: The

iQUBE

allocates either 4 or 8 channels per board. Total channels cannot

exceed 16; an 8-channel board cannot be defined as a 4-channel board.

CELLS

CELLA1–CELLA8
List of cells for
CONFIG type

Depending on the value specified for CONFIG, load cells are listed using default names
with the format CELLxy, where x is the board identifier (A is the primary unit; B, C, and D
are secondary units), and y is a designation (1–4 or 1–8, depending on the number of
channels supported by the board), for the individual load cell.

Subparameters allow load cell ID, capacity, sensitivity, and serial number to be specified.
See descriptions under Level 4 Submenus.

SECTION

PAIRED
CIRCULAR

Specifies whether the load cells defined for the section are referenced to each other as
pairs or in a circular relationship. Sections with an odd number of cells must specify
CIRCULAR. Full diagnostic capability requires PAIRED section configuration.

See Section 2.3 on page 3 for information about load cell build order.

PLATFM
