Auxiliary Tab

The Auxiliary tab provides access to the settings of the Auxiliary Outputs; it is available on all SHFLI instruments.

Features

  • Auxiliary output signal sources: Demodulators and manual setting

  • Define Offsets, Pre-offsets and Scaling for auxiliary output values

  • Control over the 4 High-speed and 4 High-precision auxiliary outputs

Description

The Auxiliary tab serves mainly to control the auxiliary outputs. Whenever the tab is closed or an additional one of the same type is needed, clicking the following icon will open a new instance of the tab.

Control/Tool Option/Range Description

Aux
btn mnu auxiliary um

Controls all settings regarding the auxiliary inputs and auxiliary outputs.

The Auxiliary tab (see Figure 1) allows to associate any of the measured signals to one of the 8 auxiliary outputs on the instrument front panel. With the action buttons next to the Preoffset and Offset values the effective voltage on the auxiliary outputs can be automatically set to zero (this functionality will be available soon).

Control/Tool Option/Range Description

Signal

Select the signal source to be represented on the Auxiliary Output.

X

Select the demodulator X component for auxiliary output.

Y

Select the demodulator Y component for auxiliary output.

Manual

Manually define an auxiliary output voltage using the offset field.

Channel

index

Select the channel according to the selected signal source.

Preoffset

numerical value in signal units

Add a pre-offset to the signal before scaling is applied. Auxiliary Output Value = (Signal+Preoffset)*Scale + Offset

Auto-zero
btn uielements horizrange um

Automatically adjusts the Pre-offset to set the Auxiliary Output Value to zero. It will be implemented in a future LabOne release.

Scale

numerical value

Multiplication factor to scale the signal. Auxiliary Output Value = (Signal+Preoffset)*Scale + Offset

Offset

numerical value in Volts

Add the specified offset voltage to the signal after scaling. Auxiliary Output Value = (Signal+Preoffset)*Scale + Offset

Auto-zero
btn uielements horizrange um

Automatically adjusts the Offset to set the Auxiliary Output Value to zero. It will be implemented in a future LabOne release.
