Users Manual
Monitor Channel
Select a channel measurement to display on the instrument front panel. You
can also choose to increment up or down through all active channels
automatically. Default is None.
Scan Parameters
Parameters you can set to start, stop, and save scan data. Select Start Scan on
Power Up for stand-alone operation or to automatically start scanning after a
power loss.
The Duration selection sets instrument to automatically stop scanning after a
duration of up to 24 hours. This is a FlukeDAQ software function and is not
built into the instrument. The Duration selection does not work in stand alone
operation.
The Scan Parameters for NetDAQ 2640A and 2645A are somewhat
different and include the scan trigger and interval settings that are
located in the Module Configuration dialog for the 2680 Series
instruments.
Scan Overflow
You can choose to overwrite old data or stop receiving data when the buffer is
full.
Log to PC Card (2686A only)
Never
Ignore the PC card.
Always
Always write to the PC card (default setting). This selection is useful for
stand-alone applications or when you want data backup.
When the card is full, the 2686A stops saving data to the PC card.
Scanning will continue and data will be stored in the internal scan
memory buffer.
Trigger Out
Used to specify a Trigger Out module. Trigger out is the physical Trigger
output of an instrument. It is the Trigger Out signal out on the rear panel
connector of the mainframe. If you want to set up a master/slave relationship,
set a module in an instrument to control the Trigger Out signal and wire that
signal to the Trigger In of all the other grouped instruments. You will then
need to configure modules in the other instruments to take a reading when an
External Trigger was received. The External Trigger is the same as the
physical Trigger In located on the back of the mainframe.
