Random Number between 0 and 1. Use Slope and offset to get other
values (e.g. a slope of 100 and an offset of 0 would return values from
0 to 100).
Output Increases by 1 and delay 500mS
BinIN
BinIN (binary) inputs are measured by the Digital I/O module. The BinIN input type allows for
the following user settings:
The normal sense of the BinIN is:
0 volts=0
>2.5 volts=1
When invert is YES, the sense is reversed:
0 volts=1
>2.5 volts=0
UpdateOnChange: when “Yes”, the measurement will execute when the input changes. This
measurement occurs in addition to the defined schedule.
Battery
Battery is the main power connection of the 8310. The measurement of the battery input can
be used to track the health of the main power. Note that it is common for the battery voltage to
change throughout the day and night when using a solar panel to charge the battery. The
battery voltage can also change depending on what other devices are turned on at the time the
measurement is made.
GetTag
The GetTag input retrieves the value of a system “tag”, and uses that as the input to the
measurement. The “tag” may be a local value, or a remote value. If the value is remote, the
remote station is contacted over a communications port in order to retrieve the value of the tag.
Tags that are local to the system include tags created in basic programs using the Declare Tag
statement, as well as the measurement outputs.
To use the GetTag input type for remote tags, you need to have a communications link between
