Indicates the channel to which the configuration applies to.

Specifies the point input mode for each channel. Valid values include:

Point Mode

appears shaded under these conditions:

Specifies the input range for each input channel. Valid values include:

Range

appears shaded under these conditions:

Specifies the filter options for each input channel. Valid values include:

Filter

appears shaded under these conditions:

Specifies the high engineering value for each channel. Valid values are from -30000 to 30000 (engineering units). The default value is:

High Engineering

appears shaded under these conditions:

Tip: Alarm values must be scaled to the engineering units defined in the

Inputs

view.

Specifies the low engineering value for each channel. Valid values are from -30000 to 30000 (engineering units). The default value defaults to 0 when you change the

Range

value.

Low Engineering

appears shaded under these conditions:

Tip: Alarm values must be scaled to the engineering units defined in the

Inputs

view.

Specifies how each sensor is powered. Valid values include:

Tip: Select

Module

to supply power to the sensors connected to the Point Guard Analog Input device. This allows the device to detect a loss of sensor power.

IMPORTANT: When a channel is configured for the

Module

sensor power, a sensor power diagnostic is executed on the channel at power-up to make sure the sensor is operational and that it draws current within the half second interval of the test. The test also verifies that the channel is not over or under current.
