The Sandbox tab shows the interaction of all of the connected modules

on one screen. Figure 20 shows two modules on the screen, but up to 8

modules can fit at one time.

Clicking a button on one device causes the module to transmit control

messages. Paired modules with appropriate Permissions Mask settings

activate and their status is updated in the software. Paired modules that are

not connected to the PC can activate a module that is connected and the

connected module’s status is reflected in the software.

The Sandbox is a convenient place to show the interaction of multiple units

in one location, but it is a reflection of actual module operation. It is not a

simulation.

The RC Configuration tab (Figure 21) allows configuration of the module’s

advanced remote control features.

1. The Analog Inputs Source area configures which lines are analog

inputs, the number of readings to average, the reference voltage and

the offset for each channel.

2. The Custom Data Source menu sets the source of custom data

transmitted with each IU message.

3. The Trigger Operation area configures which lines are triggered inputs,

their type of control, session duration and transmit interval.

4. The NV Memory Cycles show how many times data has been written

to the module’s non-volatile memory. The module is capable of

approximately 1,000 writes to NV memory before it wears out. This

count gives an indication of how many more times the module can be

written.

5. The Analog Input Readings show the current analog measurements.

6. The Trigger Input Status shows the current states of the trigger lines.
