1= STATUS-VOLTS
2= STATUS-ENG UN
3= INPUT CONFIG
The Input Status/Config Menu offers three
choices:
1.
STATUS-VOLTS - Selecting this option will
show the status of all the inputs in volts.
2.
STATUS-ENG UN - Selecting this option
will show the status of all the inputs in engi-
neering units. Engineering units must be
specified for each input using the Input Con-
fig screens (option 3), or else the board as-
sumes the input is a temperature sensor and
will display the input value in degrees Fahr-
enheit.
3.
INPUT CONFIG - Selecting this option will
allow you to specify the engineering units for
each sensor connected to an input. Doing this
will allow you to see the sensor value in terms
of its intended engineering units.

The Status-Volts screen shows the current
input voltage of all inputs on the MultiFlex
board. Units with no inputs attached to them
(and with their input dip switches set to the UP
position) will read 5 volts.
The Hand-Held Terminal shows four inputs
at a time. To view more inputs, press the DOWN
ARROW key to scroll down.
