What does ‘Universal’ or ‘Versatile’ mean in regard to the dataTaker analog inputs?
A basic concept of the dataTakerdata logger is that analog inputs can be used with more than one type of sensor, without needing additional input modules. The dataTaker analog channel is a group of 4 terminals that can be used in many combinations. On the DT800 we have 12, 4 wire (4 terminal) channels that allow sensors and signals based on voltage, current, resistance and frequency to be measured. These are the fundamental signals output by most sensors. It is not necessary to use all four terminals on each channel. Each of these channels can be connected to between 1 and 3 sensors or signals, depending on the requirements of that sensor or signal type. Refer to the user manual for detailed connection information.
