15.2.2.4.1 Input Type
Selection of the Input Type can be made from that field’s drop-down list, which contains
the signal types that have been entered through the Lists menu. (See Chapter 12) If the
signal type needed is not yet on the list, you can add it through the “Lists” menu. You
may enter up to 50 characters in this field.

When adding a new test point group, the value shown in the In Res field will default to
the same value set in the Company Record screen, see Chapter 9. To select a different
input resolution, select it from the In Res field’s drop-down list. As you select different
resolutions, you will notice that the In Low Range and In High Range fields will adjust
accordingly.
15.2.2.4.3 In Low Range & In High Range
The In Low Range and In High Range fields are used to record the Instrument’s full input
range. Any numeric value may be entered into each of these fields. Entering an
Instrument’s input range is important if you plan to allow the system to auto-assign the
Instrument’s input values into the calibration specifications grid.
