Configuration
Click the searched module, which you would like to configure. You will find Setup
page and related settings. An example is shown in Figure D.2 for an ADAM-4011
module.
Figure D.2 Configuration Screen
Here there are three major areas, General Setting, Data Area and AI Calibration. You
may change the settings by selecting the preferred items and then clicking Update
button.
The Checksum and Baud rate options need special attention since they can only be
changed when an ADAM module is in the INIT* state. To place a module in INIT
state, its INIT terminal should be connected to its GND terminal (see Baud rate and
Checksum in Chapter 2). When the ADAM module is not in INIT mode, an error mes-
sage will appear.
After you have made all necessary changes to the module configuration, the utility
will display the process data automatically.
Calibration
Please note only analog input and output modules can be calibrated. For example,
ADAM-4011 module has Zero, Span and CJC Calibration items. To learn what steps
should be taken to calibrate both input and output modules, please refer to Chapter 8
Calibration.
