OPERATIONAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS POWER SOURCE This instrument is intended to operate indoors from a power source that does not apply more than 250 volts RMS between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. A protective ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord is required. If the unit is mounted in a permanent installation (i.e.
ACQ16 USB Acquisition Interface Unit The ACQ16 USB Acquisition Interface Unit is one of the available acquisition interfaces for the DSI/Ponemah software. An acquisition interface unit interfaces high-level analog signals into the P3 Plus system. The P3 Plus software is designed for the user whose application demands flexibility along with accurate, continuous, non-interrupted data monitoring, recording, and analysis in a standardized environment.

Getting Started Introduction Before turning on the Acquisition Interface power, be sure the line voltage is within the power supply specifications. The power switch for the Acquisition Interface is located on the rear of the unit. A green light located on the front panel illuminates when power is ON. The only operating control for the Acquisition Interface is the span settings in the P3 Plus software.

User Name Dialog The User Name that is entered will be recalled automatically the next time the system is started. The name entered here will be used on all printouts and audit logs for identification of the data collected. After clicking on the Continue button, the Main Menu screen will be displayed. You are now ready to begin setting up, acquiring, and analyzing your input data.
Calibration Dialog Configuring the ACQ16 USB A group of tabs appears when 7700 Amplifier Setup is selected from the Calibration menu. This will include General, Configuration, and Descriptions tabs, which are accessed by their own tabs. General Tab The General Tab allows the user to set up channel specific signal conditioner parameters.

This column is useful in troubleshooting the signal conditioner input connection. Label Label allows you to type in a logical name of up to 10 additional characters for a particular input channel. The chosen name will be saved and used to identify the input data throughout the system, such as in the dialog that displays input channel information.

Units This column displays the units that have been set in the Configuration tab and cannot be changed in this tab. The Units have no effect on the channel and it is for documenting the Input units. Calibration Dialog • 15 ACQ16 USB Installation Manual...
Configuration Tab To set up the actual signal input configuration, select the Configuration tab in the signal conditioner setup panel. The Configuration set up screen as shown below will be displayed. ACQ16 USB Configuration Tab Value This column continuously displays the current value that is on the input of the signal conditioner.

Units, High Unit and Low Unit, of measure should be set up. This calibrates the channel to the actual user units and scaling. The system will now display, record, and perform analysis directly in your units of measure. System defaults are: -5 Low Cal = -5 Low Unit and +5 High Cal = +5 High Unit.
Descriptions Tab The Descriptions tab allows the user to enter a text description for each input. The Descriptions Menu allows you to enter text to further describe the parameters being recorded. This may include additional user information or test setup information.
Voltage View and Resetting The ACQ16 USB has the capability of viewing its values for debugging purposes and also resetting each channel if a problem has occurred during setup. Voltage View This view allows the user to see the raw voltage that is being inputted into the channels.
Voltage View To return back to normal view, select Voltage View again. Reset This selection allows the user to reset the settings of the channel selected. When selected, the channel will reset all values back to the default settings. See the individual sections for the default values.
