Analog device properties

Owned by Gisela Roberts
Last updated: Mar 18, 2024 by Dev Ops

Depending on the analog devices that are connected to your Vicon Tracker system, some or all of these properties are displayed in the lower part of theSystem panel when you click on an analog device node.

Note
Some properties are available only when advanced properties are displayed (at the top right of the panel, click Advanced Parameters ).

General section

Property Description
Enabled Enable or disable the device. When cleared, no data is sampled by the Lock, and the device is unavailable for graphing or captures.
User ID Supply a numerical identifier that is useful for sorting devices.
Name Enter a name that can be used to identify the device in graphs.

Configuration section

Property Description
Analog Sampler If you have multiple Lock Labs connected to your system, you can click this field to change the Lock to which the device is connected.
Analog Sampler Slot Select the number of the slot for the analog card that this device is connected to
Device Component Count Set the number of floating point components of data that are sampled from the device. Must correspond to the number of channels (pins) that the device is connected to on the Lock. For more information, see Set up an analog device.
Sampler Channel Range Specify which pins the device is connected to on the Lock. For more information, see Set up an analog device.
Quantity A list of quantities that you can optionally use to specify what the device is measuring. If you select one of these quantities, it is assumed that the device data is in SI units for that quantity, so you must also set the scale factor appropriately to transform the sampled voltages into these units. This unit is displayed in Graph Plots. For a free form label for each comjponent, use the component name.
Zero Level button Automatically zeroes your device based on the last second's data. For more information, see Set up an analog device.

Component section

Property Description
Name Supply a name that can be used to identify this component of the device in graphs and in exported CSV files.
Input Channel Specifies which pin the analog device is connected to, along with the gain to use on the pin (which determines the range of voltages that can be sampled from the device). Note that an analog device will not contribute unless each component has a unique, valid channel and that no two devices/components can share a channel.
Scale Factor Can be used to rescale your device data to sensible units. For more information, see Set up an analog device.
Zero Level Can be used to manually tweak the zero level voltage for each pin. For more information, see Set up an analog device.
