<Invalid> Sensor Assignments
Causes
The Station Manager application changes the sensor-file assignment to <Invalid> if any of the following occurs:
• The dimension or conditioner type settings in the sensor file do not match the settings in the Station Setup
window. This can occur if you modify the sensor file or change the station configuration.
• The Station Manager application cannot locate the assigned sensor file. This can occur if the sensor file
was renamed, deleted, or moved to another directory.
Actions
An invalid sensor-file assignment results in the following actions:
• When the station loads, the message log lists any invalid sensor-file assignments.
• The Sensor File selection in the Station Setup window is appended with <Invalid>.
• If the sensor-file assignment is set to <Invalid>, the data from that sensor is not valid.
• If the active mode sensor input is in an <Invalid> state, you will not be able to run that channel.
