Input Modes - Fourier MultiLogPRO User Manual

6.2.2 Input Modes

MultiLogPRO has two Input Modes. The default mode is Auto ID and the
MultiLogPRO is in this mode when turned on for the first time. When using more
than 4 sensors, when using VERNIER sensors, or if you've defined your own
sensor, switch to the 8 inputs mode. Select the system configuration menu in
the MAIN MENU and choose the mode you want (see page 76).
MultiLogPRO saves the current mode selection and will open in that mode the
next time you turn it on.
1.
Auto ID
Automatic sensor identification – just plug in the sensors and the MultiLogPRO
prepares itself to collect data from these sensors.
While in this mode you can work with up to 4 sensors simultaneously.
2.
8 inputs
This mode enables data logging from up to 8 sensors simultaneously. Connect
up to four input splitters (DT011) to multiply the MultiLogPRO's inputs starting
with I/O-4 (the splitters must be connected in order):
 I/O-4 splits into I/O-4 and I/O-5
 I/O-3 splits into I/O-3 and I/O-6
 I/O-2 splits into I/O-2 and I/O-7
 I/O-1 splits into I/O-1 and I/O-8
In the splitter cable, one of the two wires is marked with arrows - that is the
main input (the lower I/O number). The second wire is marked with the letter S
(split) - indicating that it is the secondary input (the higher I/O number).
To learn how to switch to 8 inputs mode please refer to section 6.2.9 on page
76.
In this mode there is no automatic sensor identification. Select the sensors
manually either from the MultiLogPRO setup menu (see section 6.2.6 on page
70) or using the WeatherLab software
Use this mode if you want to work with more than 4 sensors or if you are using
VERNIER sensors.
