4Analog IO Read

The Analog IO Read Tool records the value of an Analog IO as a parameter.

Using the Analog IO Read Tool

The main setup for the Analog Wait tool is its "Analogue IO Read" page.

The IO dropdown menu lists all of the available Analog IO in the system.  All the IO will be listed by their current name.  Use this menu to select an IO to read.

By default the Reference By Name (else Index) check box is checked.  This causes the tool to search for the name selected in the IO dropdown menu.  If this box is unselected it will use the Index number of the selected item in the IO list as a reference instead of its name.  If it is the third Analog IO in the list then this tool will always use the third IO, instead of looking for the specific name of the tool.

The Number Reads conrols how many readings will be averaged.  If this is set to "1" then the tool will take a single reading and record its value as a parameter.  If more than "1" is entered then several readings will be taken and averaged.

The Units sets the units of measure.  The Units can be set to Raw (the figures exactly as they come back from the IO), Calibrated (based on a specified calibration) or as a Percent.
