Channels
About Channels
Note:
FlexTest SE Controllers that operate in the standalone mode support only Program and Control type
Channels.
You use channels to send commands to external servovalves and controllers. The system software supports
the following types of channels:
• Program and Control
• Program with Feedback
• Program-Only (requires an analog output resource)
Note:
To create a Program-Only channel, you must select an Analog Output resource from the Hardware
tab of the Output Resources list. Example: 494.46 D/A 7 S8-J2B.
• Three Variable Control (optional).
Program and control channels
Program and control channels are used to maintain closed-loop control of an actuator. This channel type is
selected automatically when you allocate a valve driver resource.
Note:
FlexTest II CTM and TestStar IIs AP programmers do not typically use Program and Control channels.
