Configuring the Input Modules
To configure an input module you must connect the module directly to the computer via
a serial cable, you cannot setup the channels via the USB port on the VBOX Micro. The
software which is required is the Stand Alone Module Setup software which is included
in the VBOX Micro installation. The module can take power from the VBOX Micro both
during operation and during configuration.
.
Once the module is powered and connected to the computer, run the Stand Alone
Module Setup software. Under 'Options' select the appropriate COM port, then click
'Read Module Setup'.
The scale / multiplier and offset of each channel can be set to suit the connected sensor.
No other settings should be changed. After setting the scale and offset of each
channel, click the button 'Write Setup to Module'. The screenshot to the right shows the
Stand Alone Module Setup software whilst connected to an ADC03 module.
