How to Create a Control Mode Stabilization Signal
Note:
This procedure pertains to Stabilization and Stabilization 2 controls.
1. In the Station Builder navigation pane, select the control mode you want to stabilize.
2. Select a resource by performing one of the following:
• Click the Station tab of the Input Resources list, select a station input (from the current channel or
Auxiliary Inputs), and click “+”, or
• Click the Hardware tab of the Input Resources list, select a hardware resource input for the control
mode, and click “+”.
For example, allocate a DC conditioner for a delta P sensor input. Allocate an analog input resource
for an externally-conditioned accelerometer input.
3. Rename the stabilization resource as desired.
Note:
If you are using stabilization feedback for more than one control mode on a channel, it is important
that you assign a unique name to each stabilization signal. Doing this avoids duplicate naming
conflicts (and the resulting error messages).
4. Set the Dimension and Display Units for the stabilization signal.
Channel Inputs
About Channel Inputs
Channel inputs are sensor and external command input signals associated with the channel.
Channel inputs can be used to provide feedback for control modes (they are available as Station Input
Resources), or to monitor sensor feedback or analog inputs for readout or data acquisition (like Auxiliary
Inputs).
With the controls on the Input panel, you can add and edit channel inputs. You may select channel input
resources from:
• The Hardware Input Resources list, or
• The Station Input Resources list associated with the selected channel. (You cannot create channel inputs
from station resources associated with other channels or Auxiliary Inputs.)
In addition to creating channel inputs with the Inputs panel, channel inputs are created automatically when
you allocate resources to define control modes.
