Setup Analog Input Channel

Analog channel settings

This dialog allows to change all analog channel related settings. It will work for a single channel as well as a group of channels. If a group of channels has been selected all changes inside the dialog will be applied to all selected channels at once.
Using a custom unit allows scaling of signals inside the analog display and also inside the calculation functions with a real world physical unit.

Name:	Fill in a name of the signal that is shown everywhere where this signal is used.
Channel description button:	Press the button to open a dialog which allows you to enter a descritive text for the channel. The text will be shown as a tool tip in the channel dialog. It will also be stored in the data file.
Color button:	Press the button to select the color of the signal with which it is shown inside the different display windows.
Reset name button:	Press the button to reset the name of the channel to its original value.
Input Path:	Select one of the different input paths for the signal. Depending on the selected path different settings will be available.
Input Range:	Select an input range from the list that matches the physical signal best.
Offset:	Select a signal offset if the physical signal is shifted.
50 Ohm:	Activate the 50 ohm termination of the signal. Make sure that the source is capable of driving that termination. If not activated the input will be in high impedance state.
Diff Input:	Activate to switch the channel to differential mode. If not activated the signal is used in single-ended mode.
AC Coupling:	Switch between AC coupling (checked) and DC coupling (unchecked).
BW Limit:	Activate the bandwidth limit of the input to have lower signal noise.
AC/DC Offset Compensation:	Activate the offset compensation for AC source and DC coupling.
Enable Channel:	Use this checkbox to enable or disable the channel.

Custom units:

Set Custom Unit:	Activate this checkbox to select a custom unit to the signal that represents the physical signal. With this feature you can compensate any sensors and show real world values.
Amplitude Max:	Set the maximum signal level to be translated or automatically select the range by using one of the 1:1, 10:1, 100:1 buttons.
Amplitude Min:	Set the minimum signal level to be translated or automatically select the range by using one of the 1:1, 10:1, 100:1 buttons.
Custom Value Max:	Type in the maximum custom value to which the selected maximum amplitude should be translated.
Custom Value Min:	Type in the minimum custom value to which the selected minimum amplitude should be translated.
Custom Unit:	Select any custom unit that represents the real world signal best.
