Addressing DAQ modules
Each DAQ module must have a unique address (just like HSI, PAD, and other modules). The address is
stored inside the DAQ module in non-volatile memory. Therefore, if you remove a DAQ module from one
system, where it was set to address 31, and plug it into a different Dewetron chassis, it will still report itself
on the bus at address 31.
This can cause a conict if you already have a module at this address. In addition, it will be confusing to you
when you hook up your signals to what you believe is DAQ module at address 16, but the channels show up
on address 31. Therefore, it is vitally important that you set the addresses of any DAQ, PAD, or HSI modules
that you plug into your Dewetron system.
- There is no need to set the addresses of MDAQ modules, except when initially installed at the factory.
There are essentially two ways to address your modules:
FILL RACK PROCEDURE - this addresses all of your modules in sequence. This is what you should do
if you have been changing more than one module around, to ensure that every module is at the appropri-
ate and unique address.
FILL ONE MODULE PROCEDURE - easier and faster, when you simply want to exchange one module.
Let’s look at how to do each one of the above procedures:
Fill Rack (all Modules) Procedure
Within DS-7, go to the ACQUISITION MODE and select the SETUP screen, where you can see your list of
modules. Now click on the top of the AMPLIFIER COLUMN and you will see this menu:
Select the FILL RACK option, and the software will prompt you like this:
