3.2.5  Functions 
HWCONFIG, built-in utility software in ISPSoft, can be used to set a module. Users can set modes 
and parameters by means of HWCONFIG.
 
Item  Function  Description 
1 
Enabling/Disabling 
a channel 
1. Users can enable or disable a channel. 
2. If a channel is disabled, the total conversion time is 
decreased. 
2  Calibration  Users can calibrate an analog output curve. 
3  Scale range  A digital range corresponds to an analog range. 
4 
Retaining an 
output 
When a module stops running, a signal sent by the module is 
retained. 
 
1. Enabling/Disabling a channel
 
A digital signal is converted into an analog signal at a speed of 150 μs a channel. The total 
conversion time is 150 μs×(the number of channels). If a channel is not used, users can disable it 
to decrease the total conversion time. 
2. Calibration
 
  To make a curve meet actual needs, users can calibrate the curve by changing an offset and 
a gain. A calibration range depends on a range of outputs which can be sent by hardware. 
  A volt is a unit of calibration for offsets if outputs sent are voltages. A milliampere is a unit of 
calibration for offsets if outputs sent are currents. 
  The range of offsets used for calibration is -1.0~1.0, and the range of gains used for 
calibration is 0.9~1.1.
