Tab Dialog Box:
Signals

The Signals tab page indicates the names of all signals or Channels that can be recorded via the detector. In addition, it indicates the signal unit and the amplifying factor of each signal.

To convert a channel into an analog signal via the 16-bit DAC card, select the channel to be used for conversion (see DAC Channel) and specify whether the signal is amplified (see DAC Factor).

Select a channel and click Change to edit the signal settings on the Signal Configuration dialog box.

Description

 

 

Signal Name

Select a check box to enable or disable the corresponding signal or the device channel. Only active signals can be used in Chromeleon, i.e., only these signals can be displayed and raw data can be recorded only for these signals/channels (also, see Naming Devices...).

 

 

Unit

Indicates the signal unit of the recorded Raw Data.

 

 

Factor

Indicates the amplifying factor for this channel.

 

 

DAC Channel (for UV detectors only)

Indicates the DAC channel currently being used for conversion into an analog signal.

 

 

DAC Factor (for UV detectors only)

Indicates the amplifying factor for the converted analog signal.

 

 

Type
(for virtual channels only )

Indicates the channel type of the Virtual Signal.

 

 

Formula
(for virtual channels only )

Indicates the formula entered for the virtual channel.
