Configuring analog input parameters
The New Log Settings…Configuring Analog Inputs… dialog contains a grid of parameters that determine:
 the analog input channels to log
 the configuration mode of each analog input channel (single-ended or differential)
 the voltage range of data to log
 the units to use on the logged data
Each column in this grid is explained below.

Chan : List the number of each analog input channel. You cannot edit the numbers in this column.

Log: Select the check box of each analog channel whose data you want to log.

Name: Double-click on a cell in this column if you want change/add to the default name. This name appears in
the column header for the channel's log data when you view the data file in a spreadsheet.

Mode: Select the mode that the channel is physically wired to use when acquiring data.
Refer to the “Screw terminal pin out” section in the “Specifications” chapter of your LGR-5320 Series device
user’s guide for your device’s differential and single-ended pin out.
 Range: Select the voltage range of the data to log.
If you select ±30 Volts for a channel configured for differential mode, the associated high/low channel is also
set to ±30 Volts.
For example, if analog input channel 0 ( AI0 ) is set to Differential in the Mode column and to ±30 Volts in the
Range column, AI8 is also set to ±30 Volts.

Units: Select the units—Counts, Volts, or mV—to use when converting log data.
