gauge (left field) and the bridge factor (right field) for
your circuit.
Floating point numbers are always transferred as 4-by
te val-
ues and further setting is not necessary here.
For the formats Integer (2 bytes)
and Long integer (4 bytes)
specify the number of Decimal places and the total number
of places to be output (Field length). The field length is cal-
culated including the points, but without any commas dis-
played for the thousands positions and it is only used for rep-
resentation in one of the Gantner programs. Specif
ying three
decimal places displays, for example, the value 1234 as 1,234.
After closure of the dialog the number of transferred places
and the uni
t are displayed in the column Format/balance,
e.g. ff,fff.f [kN] for an output in the unit kN with a total of
seven characters with one decimal place and the decimal
point.
If negative numbers occ
ur, the
display in this example is lim-
ited to -9,999.9 (seven characters wi
thout the comma).
7. Click in the column Range/error to li
mit the admissible value
range and to define the reaction in the case of an error
(optional).
8. Also optionally, you can specify filtering of the sensor signal
in the column Other.

. Save the changes in a file and close the module once you have
made
all the changes:
or File > Save to file and finish.
The file is created within the project folder and the file name
is generated automaticall
y. The project folder bears the same
name as the project. The generated file name contains the
address of the Test Controller through which the module is
connected and an identifier for the relevant module.
If the modules are connected through a Test Controller, new
module settings must also be updated there. Select
or File
> Write project (update) in the test
.commander. The project
file is in this case automatically updated.
5.3.2 Carrier frequency synchronization (Q.bloxx A106)
The A106 module supports the supply of sensors with direct volt-
age (DC) or carrier frequency (CF).
➡ If you are using several modules of this type and set carrier fre-
quency supply, you should synchronize the carrier frequencies of
the modules, be
cause otherwise crosstalk can occur between the
