Sensor setup: manually identify a sensor
The StreamSmart Aplet is designed to automatically identify a Fourier® sensor
attached to the StreamSmart 400. In some cases, StreamSmart may fail to identify
a sensor or identify it incorrectly. In this case, you must manually identify the sensor
using the Sensor Setup dialog box. Press
V and select the Sensor Setup
option, as shown in Figure 4-1, or press
A.
Figure 4-2 shows the Sensor Setup dialog box with accelerometers plugged into
Channels 1 and 2. Suppose that the sensor in Channel 1 is not an accelerometer,
but a force sensor. With Channel 1, highlighted, press !CHOOS and select the
appropriate force sensor option. In Figure 4-3, the 0-80 N Force sensor option
has been selected. Press
$OK# to make this change effective and return to the Sensor
Setup dialog box. Figure 4-4 shows the Sensor Setup dialog box with the new
changes. Press
$OK# to finalize any changes and return to the StreamSmart Aplet.
Figure 4-5 shows the Numeric view with the new force sensor in Channel 1.
