Analog Input

This tab appears as follows:

This tab shows the flow of information through the Analog Input functional
block. It contains the following fields:

Measurement Type

Determines whether the input reads voltage (Volts),
current (Amps), or resistance (Ohms). The value in
this field must match the hardware settings on the
associated LonPoint module. See the LonPoint
Hardware and Installation Guide
for information on
changing the hardware settings.

Measurement Current

If the Measurement Type field is set to Ohms, this
field determines whether a current of 25

µ

A or 400

µ

A is used in measuring resistance. If the

Measurement Type field is set to Volts or Amps, this
field is not used.

Input Gain

Determines the gain for the input. See Analog Input
Gain and Current Settings
later in this chapter for
more information on gain settings.

Measurement Limit

Displays a calculation of the highest value that may
be read from the transducer, as determined by the
