Channels View
The Channels view shows an overview of the configuration values for all module
channels.
TIP:
Not all channel configurations are included in
Channels view. To view or change the complete set of the channel configuration and also to
view the diagnostics information for the channel, use Chxx view.
You can do the following actions on this view for all the channels:
- Disable the channel, if desired.
- Change the output type and output range.
- Enable or disable no load detection
- Enable or disable hold for initialization
- Set the scaling and recalculate all configurations with engineering unit.
- Configure the connection fault handling
You can use this view to monitor the configuration for all channels in the module. To view
the diagnostics information for the channel, go to respective Chxx view.
Channels View Example
Chxx View
The Chxx view, where xx represents the channel number, shows the configuration options
available for the respective channel.
You can do the following actions on this view:
- Disable the channel, if desired
- Change the output type and output range.
- Enable or disable no load detection
- Enable or disable hold for initialization
- Set the scaling settings.
- Recalculate the engineering units if configuration is changed.
- Configure the connection fault handling
- View channel diagnostics information
Chxx View Example
Recalculate Units
Recalculate Units lets you recalculate all configurations
with engineering unit after a scaling change. Consider the following:
- The Recalculate Units option is enabled when the scaling configuration is changed.
- Upon selecting Recalculate Units option, the recalculated new values based on the new scaling configuration are displayed together with the old values for you to verify before changing.
- If you select "Yes" to proceed with the change, the new values will be set but it gets applied when you select "Apply/OK".
- If you select "No" to cancel the change, the old values are retained. You can either select the Recalculate Units again or manually change those configurations based on the new scaling.

Channelxx Diagnostics
Displays the channel diagnostics information when connected with the module. When online with
the module, select the Diagnostics on the Chxx view to see the diagnostic information.
Channelxx Diagnostics Example
Limits View
Each channel on the analog output module has a Limits view with which it is associated. The
Signal Units options correspond to the output type and range for the channel.
You can do the following actions on this view:
- Disable all the alarms.
- Latch clamp alarms and configure output claming
- Enable/disable the output ramping in different modes and configure the ramp rate (if any ramp mode is enabled).
