Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Chapter 4

Enabling or Disabling a Channel (Bit 15)

Bit 15 enables or disables each of the six channels individually. The module
only scans those channels that are enabled. Enabling a channel forces it to be
recalibrated before it measures input data. Turning a channel off results in the
channel data being set to zero.

TIP

When a channel is not enabled, the A/D converter
provides no input to the controller. This speeds up the
system response of the active channels.

The configuration default is to disable each input channel
to maximize module performance.
