Q.seriesGantner Instruments Test & Measurement GmbH 855 Configuration → Setting sensor parameters5.3 Setting sensor parametersIn order to set parameters you should be connected to the mod-ule and have called the configuration program (ICP 100 which isstarted automatically by test.commander): Mark a module andselect from the context menu Configuration or double click on amodule or module signal (variable) to start the configuration pro-gram. Then carry out all the module settings in the window of thisprogram.You can however also configure a project without a direct con-nection and then, once you have established the connection, loadthe corresponding files into the modules and load Test Controller.All module signals are defined as variables. Therefore, for theentry activate the tab Variable Settings in the configurationprogram.Fig. 5-1 Dialog with a force transducer (6-wire) and a voltageinput configuration.Procedure 1. Click in the Type column of the first row (V1 = Variable 1) ormark the row (click on V1) and use Variable Settings >Type.2. Select Analog Input and click on OK.3. Click in the column Variable Name and allocate a name iden-tifying the signal from the connected sensor.4. Click in the Sensor column and specify the type of sensor.Depending on the type of module you have various optionsavailable, e.g. Bridge for strain-gauge full and half-bridges,Pt100, Resistance for resistors or Voltage for voltage mea-surements and IEPE sensors.5. Click in the Type column and specify the type of circuit or fur-ther information about the sensor type.
