Control

Purpose

IP address

The IP address of the device you want to contact. This value can be edited.

Responding

The Responding LED is lit if a device on the network could be contacted using the IP address the last time it was polled.

Device ID

Unique identifier for the device.

IP port

The port number on which the device will listen for data transmissions from other devices. This setting must match the port number used by the transmitting device.

The default is 0. The valid range is 0-65535.

Digital Ins

 

Digital Ins

Lit (green) when there is a signal present on one of the digital input connectors on the device.

Digital Outs

 

Digital Outs 1-8

When clicked, enable the individual digital outputs on the device.

D/A Outs

 

D/A Outs

Digital to analog output controls.

Analog Ins

 

Value

Displays a representation of the input voltage level range. The minimum value is represented by zero and the maximum by 1.0.

Typically, these inputs are physically connected to a potentiometer.

Tip: The knob control cannot be gestured, but you can duplicate it and wire the copy to other controls in your design. This enables you to pass the values to other controls.

 

Calibrate

Sets the range of recognized input values arriving into the analog inputs.

After the potentiometer has been installed, and you are ready to set the minimum and maximum values:

  1. Click Calibrate to start calibration.
  2. Sweep the pot from the minimum to the maximum twice.
  3. Click Calibrate again to stop calibration.

    Note: Calibration takes into account the resistance of the wire and the tolerances of the potentiometer.

Min Calibration

The minimum recognized analog input value (set during the calibration process).

Max Calibration

The maximum recognized analog input value (set during the calibration process).

Squelch

A control noise squelch that adjusts the bit resolution of the analog input. The higher the squelch value, the greater the change in value required in the input in order for it to be recognized as a change. This is typically used when the input signal is fluctuating because of noise.

We recommend that you use the minimum squelch value possible in order to stop the input signal fluctuating.
