Channel Labeling Options
MicroWIN 2000 can read and display a channel’s current state. How this data is shown can be
setup on this form. With Digital Channel Types, any labels (15 characters or less) can be used
for the Open and Closed conditions of the channel. With Analog Channel Types, the 0% to
100% value that is usually reported can be scaled to some other range values, for example, 20 ft
to 200 ft.
Labeling Options for Digital Channel Types
For all Digital Channel Types, the administrator has the ability to set how a channel’s state will
appear when reading an open or closed signal for a channel while using MicroWIN 2000.
There are four labeling options: Open-Closed, OFF-ON, 0-1, and Custom Labels. The first 3
(Open-Closed, OFF-ON, 0-1) are predefined ways of labeling the Open and Closed states for a
channel. The left string represents the open value and the right string represents the closed value.
So in the case of OFF-ON, OFF will be used to represent an open value and ON will be used to
represent a closed value.
These labels can also be changed to custom values using the Custom Labels selection. These
custom open and closed labels are case sensitive and can be up to 15 characters each.
Scaling Options For Analog Channel Types
For all Analog Types, the administrator has the ability to set how a channel’s state will appear
when reading an analog value for a channel while using MicroWIN 2000.
