Inverted:Thisoptioninvertsthe"High"levelforthechannelintotheOFFstate(No
currentflowbetweenthetwooutputterminals)attheoutputandviceversa.
4.7 Configuring software channels
ReferalsotoSettingsforalldialogues
Softwarechannelsarecalculationsorfunctionsthatareperformedwithinthe
device.InpreviousdevicefamiliesfromDelphin,suchchannelswerealsocalled
virtualchannels.Anynumberofchannelscanbecreated.Thisisastandardfea-
tureofthedevice.
DisplaytheSoftware channels inthecontextmenu(DataServicetabChannels ).
YoucantheneithercreateaChannel group(e.g.Analogue channelsinthe
example)togrouptogethercreatedchannels,orselectoneoftheavailablechan-
neloperations.Thecontextmenucontainsallavailablecalculationsandfunctions.

Alternatively,softwarechannelscanbecreatedviathecontextmenuofahard-
warechannelasCreate dependent channel.IncontrasttocreationviaSoftware
channel,thesourcechannelisalreadyselectedwithinthedialogueandthechan-
nelis(initially)locateddirectlyunderthehardwarechannel.Followingcreation,
theuser-definedviewenableschannelstobemovedandgroupeddifferently.
Anotheroptionenablesthelinkingofachannel.Theoriginalchannelremainsin
theoriginalposition,butcreatesinanotherlocationanentrythatislinkedtothis
channel.
Linking channels
FromtheOptionsoftheDataServiceConfigurator,selectMove/link channels.In
theuser-definedview(View → Right/left panel → Channel sheet options)moveor
linkachannelbyleft-clickingandholding.Furtherinformationisavailableinthe
manualtoDataServiceConfigurator.
Furtherconfigurationissimilartomodulechannels.Specificsettingsforeachfunc-
tionareexplainedinthesectionshere.Generalinformationondialogsisavailable
inSettingsforalldialogues.
4.7.1 Adder
Thissoftwarechanneladdstogetherallvaluesfromthespecifiedsourcechannel:
Adder=adder+newvalue
Reset:Whenenabled,thecalculatedsumisoutputonlyinthecaseofaresetevent
andthenresetinternallytozero.Whennotenabled,thesumisoutputforeach
eachnewvaluefromthesourcechannel.
ReferalsotoTriggeroptions.
Generate intermediate values:Whenenabled,resultsarealsooutputbetween
reseteventsimmediatelyfollowingtheircalculation,(withoutbeingresettozero).
