Configuring Distance At 20Ma; Configuring Data Damping Period; Configuring A Channel In Linear Velocity Mode; Configuring Instance Number - Maretron CLM100 User Manual

4.5.5 Configuring Distance at 20mA

Program this parameter to match the reading of the distance transducer when it is sourcing a
current of 20mA. You can determine this value by examining the specification of the distance
transducer being used.

4.5.6 Configuring Data Damping Period

You can configure a damping parameter to smooth the distance readings or make them more
responsive. The data damping is configurable between 0.2-25.0 seconds with a resolution of
0.1 seconds. The default data damping for a channel in distance mode is 0.2 seconds.

4.6 Configuring a Channel in Linear Velocity Mode

The following sections describe the parameters that are available for configuration for a
channel which has been set to linear velocity mode.

4.6.1 Configuring Instance Number

Program this parameter to match the desired instance number of the linear velocity reading for
this channel. You can program this parameter to any value between 0 and 252.

4.6.2 Configuring Label

Program this parameter with a text string which identifies the particular parameter being
monitored by this channel. Maretron display products will display this label text when you are
selecting data to display.

4.6.3 Units, Range, and Resolution

Maretron display products and software support the following units for display of linear velocity,
with the range and resolution shown in the following table (NOTE: the resolution may be
further limited by the capabilities of the CLM100; please refer to section 1.7 for details).

4.6.4 Configuring Linear Velocity at 4mA

Program this parameter to match the reading of the linear velocity transducer when it is
sourcing a current of 4mA. You can determine this value by examining the specification of the
linear velocity transducer being used.
