Using this tool, the following parameters can be set:
o DEVICE ID
o BOARD MODE
o ANALOG INPUT ENABLE
o BUTTONS CONFIGURATION
o EDGE DURATION
o ENCODER BPS
- DEVICE ID
When two or more boards of the same tipe are
connected to the PC, it is necessary to configure an
univocal ID to each board.
In this way the user, and the PC too, is able to
recognize correctly the board without making mistake.
Each board ID can be configured from 00 to 15, so it’s
possible to connect up to 16 boards of the same type at
the same time.
- BOARD MODE
Some boards (“MTX” family for example) have two or
more operating mode available, so it’s necessary to
select the one needed.
For esample, the board in the image beside is the “8AI-
36DI-MTX” and it can be used as “MATRIX” to be
able to connect up to 32 buttons, or it can be used as
“SIMPLE” with or without HAT switch.
You can find more details about the board inside its
own instruction.
o NORMAL
o OFF to ON
o ON to OFF
o BOTH
o ENCODER
- ENCODERS BPS
When rotary encoders are used, it’s necessary to set the
number of pulses per second that the board have to send
to the PC/Simulator to let the PC/Simulator has the time
to process them.
The encoder’s beat per second (BPS) spans from 1 BPS
to 250 BPS.
Usually 30 to 60 BPS are used.
- PROGRAM BOARD
Once the user is ready, it’s necessary to program the
board using the dedicated button “PROGRAM
BOARD”, in this way the configuration is sent to the
board and memorized.
Wait for the popup window and press OK.
