4.15 Configuring a Channel in Force (Load Cell) Mode
The following sections describe the parameters that are available for configuration for a
channel which has been set to force (load cell) mode.
4.15.1 Configuring Instance Number
Program this parameter to match the desired instance number of the force (load cell) reading
for this channel. You can program this parameter to any value between 0 and 252.
4.15.2 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.
4.15.3 Units, Range, and Resolution
Maretron display products and software support the following units for display of resistance,
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
Kg-force
N
Pounds-force
4.15.4 Configuring Force (Load Cell) at 4mA
Program this parameter to match the reading of the force (load cell) transducer when it is
sourcing a current of 4mA. You can determine this value by examining the specification of the
force (load cell) transducer being used.
4.15.5 Configuring Force (Load Cell) at 20mA
Program this parameter to match the reading of the force (load cell) transducer when it is
sourcing a current of 20mA. You can determine this value by examining the specification of the
force (load cell) transducer being used.
4.15.6 Configuring Data Damping Period
You can configure a damping parameter to smooth the force (load cell) 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 force (load cell) mode is
0.2 seconds.
4.16 Configuring a Channel in Pressure Mode
The following sections describe the parameters that are available for configuration for a
channel which has been set to pressure mode.
