In the top right-hand corner of the Status Display area is the Calibration area. You
can choose the Zero Calibration button to do zero calibration. After you click the but-
ton, a pop-up dialog window will remind you to connect a signal with minimum value
of full scale range (for example, 0 Volt) to the calibrated channel. After you complete
the hardware wiring, click the Apply button to start the calibration action. Similarly,
you can choose the Span Calibration button to do span calibration. For span calibra-
tion, you need to connect a signal with maximum value of full scale range (for exam-
ple, 10 Volt) to the calibrated channel. It is the same that when you complete the
wiring, click the Apply button to start the calibration action.
At the bottom of the Status Display area, you can see five tabs to see analog input
value of all channels:
1. Channel Setting
You can see the current value of analog input on this tab. (For ADAM-6017 and
ADAM-6018 modules, the value of digital input channel is also displayed on this tab.)
Simply choose the check box of the channels you want to monitor and click the
Apply button.
Besides, you can see the graphical historical trend by clicking the Trend Log button.
Refer to Figure 5.7 below. Simply choose the check box of the channels you want to
log in the Channel Setting area at right side, and then click the Apply button. After
that, click the Start button and the data log will start. You can see the real-time histor-
ical trend. If you click the Stop button, then you can click the Save to file to save the
trend data into your computer.
