Chapter 2 Working with DaqLab 65
2.5.9. Defining a Custom Sensor
DaqLab enables the user to define custom sensors. This is a useful tool for when DaqPRO is
communicating with many sensors from different vendors.
Any additional sensor that you would like to connect to DaqPRO must comply with the following
restrictions:
• The sensor’s output must be either voltage in the range of 0 to 10V or current
in the range of 4 to 24mA.
• The sensor Transfer Function (sensor output voltage changes vs. the sampled
phenomenon changes) must be a linear Transfer Function.
To define a new sensor:
1. Connect DaqPRO to the PC.
2. Click Logger on the menu bar, then click Define New Sensor to open the Define New Sensor
dialog box:
Figure 22: Define New Sensor dialog box
3. Click Add New Sensor.
4. Select a Based on option (depending on whether your sensor’s output is 0 to 10V or 4 to
24mA).
5. Enter a sensor name and sensor unit.
6. Enter two calibration values (two real values and the corresponding output values of the
sensor).
