Logger Channels

The Channels section indicates what channels are enabled (there is a check mark beside the
channel number) and provides information specific to each channel. When you enable a
channel on a logger, it becomes an active channel and it continually records readings and
stores them in the logger's memory. You should disable any channels you are not using so
that there is as much memory as possible available for the active channel(s). The Channel
subsections are Information, Alarms, and Calibration.

Channel Information

When you contact the logger, the logger status is displayed. The Channel line gives the
description and the Realtime value, if Realtime is turned on. The Realtime value is based on
the equation that you select for the channel.
The equation is selected in the Setup window but is shown in the Status window only as a
tool-tip. To see the equation point your cursor over the channel and it will show the channel
type and equation.
In the Setup window, a channel type tool-tip is displayed when the cursor is pointed over a
channel.
