7. Measuring external 5V sensors


Each of the 5 channels on the SSI-4 can be configured to accept input from an external 0..5V
sensor. Hookup is very straight forward, with ground going to the ‘-‘ input for the channel and the
positive sensor signal going to the ‘+’ input for the channel. Raw sensor data can be converted
into meaningful units and values using the input configuration features of LogWorks on a PC.

8. Programming the SSI-4 with LM Programmer


To connect the SSI-4 for programming follow these steps:

1. Disconnect any MTS device from the IN port.
2. Connect the 2.5mm to DB 2 computer interface cable into the Serial OUT port. Your

computer needs a serial port. If it does not have one, you will need a USB to serial
adapter.

3. Power the SSI-4 either from 12V or a 9V Battery (when using a desktop computer).
4. Start the LM Programmer application



The following screen will show up:



The LM Programmer software then shows in its first page the type and version number of the
firmware of the device.
