Determine the detector signal parameters:

 

Option

Description

 

 

Signal Name

Enter a signal name for future identification of the signal.

Avoid changing previously assigned names, as conflicts could result when using older PGM Files. Any Raw Data recorded for this signal is directly linked to the signal name.

 

 

AD Port

Select the channel to be used for signal recording via the UCI Universal Chromatography Interface or any other interface.

Make sure that the selected Channel corresponds to the actual pin assignment.

 

 

Unit

Enter the signal unit; for example, mV or mAU.

 

 

Factor

The Factor is the conversion factor between mV and the signal unit of the connected detector.

For example, if the signal value at the detector output is 1000 mV and if the signal shall be represented in mAU instead of in mV, enter mAU as the unit and 1 as the factor.

You can also use the factor to reverse the signal by selecting a factor of -1.0.

 

 

Offset [mV]

Each A/D channel can receive a signal offset. The value is added to the actual signal.

This can be used to balance pressure or temperature readings. For example, if a thermometer supplies a voltage of 1V at 0°C, this can be compensated by entering an offset value of
-1000mV.
