4.9 Configuring a Channel in Angular Velocity Mode

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

4.9.1 Configuring Instance Number

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

4.9.2 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.

4.9.3 Units, Range, and Resolution

Maretron display products and software support the following units for display of angle, 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).
Unit
Degrees/second
Degrees/minute

4.9.4 Configuring Angular Velocity at 4mA

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

4.9.5 Configuring Angular Velocity at 20mA

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

4.9.6 Configuring Data Damping Period

You can configure a damping parameter to smooth the angular velocity 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 angular velocity mode is
0.2 seconds.

4.10 Configuring a Channel in Angular Acceleration Mode

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