Field 2.
Click on this field to change the trace color for this channel. See chapter 4.3 on details of
manipulating channel color.
Field 3.
This indicates the input mode selected for this input of the selected device, dependent on the
device. LogWorks interrogates all devices connected to the serial LogChain during connection
and downloads their settings. If the settings have changed since the last time LogWorks started,
LogWorks will change the current input to the current settings of the input, using defaults for the
unit and range.
If a device is connected to the Aux-In port of the LM-1, it can’t be interrogated by LogWorks. In
this case you have to manually select the function and, if necessary, fill out the fields for range
and unit. See the manual for the appropriate device for details.
Field 4.
This field shows the name, type and icon of the device where this input is from. If a device allows
the connection of optional accessories, the accessory selected is also shown.
Field 5.
Either type in the unit for the channel here or select a unit from the drop-down list. The drop-down
list shows all units that are preprogrammed into LogWorks. For details about using units and unit
conversions see chapter xxx.
Units typically belong to a unit family. A unit family consists of different units for the same
measured quantity. For example you can measure pressure in PSI, inHg, kPascal and so on.
Conversion formulas describe how to convert between different units of the same family. In the
drop-down list the units belonging to the same family as the current unit are shown in bold face.
When converting between absolute pressure and gauge pressure LogWorks will ask you to enter
the current atmospheric air pressure:
You can enter this in either in inches of mercury (inHg) or millibar. LogWorks decides from the
number entered which unit is used. This is asked only once after LogWorks has started and will
not be asked again if that conversion is executed again. For details see chapter xxx.
Field 6, 7 and 8
Specify two voltages (0 and 5V in the above example) in field 7 and the equivalent measurement
quantity ( 0 and 10230 RPM respectively in the example). If voltages different than 0 and 5V are
specified, the range will be automatically expanded to 0..5V if the push button “Expand to 0..5V”
in Field 5 is selected, even if the sensor is not capable to produce 0..5V (the measured signal will
stay within the range the sensor produces).
If the “Limit to programmed range” push button is selected, the input is limited to the programmed
range in field 3. Input values outside the range will be clipped to the entered range.
To easily enter the correct voltage values when LogWorks is connected realtime to a Logchain,
you can also right-click on one of the voltage fields.
