Resolution
You can use ION Setup to configure the meter's onboard and/or option module digital inputs.
To configure the onboard digital inputs using ION Setup:
- Start ION Setup.
- Open the Setup Assistant for your meter.
- Navigate to I/O > Digital Inputs. The tabs correspond to each digital input. Click on the tab for the digital input you want to edit.
- Configure the digital input by selecting the parameter and clicking Edit.
- Once the parameter has been configured, click OK to save the setting to the meter.
| Parameter | Value/range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Input Mode | Pulse, KYZ, A/C, IRIG-B | Specifies how the meter processes the signal:
|
| Polarity | Inverting/Non-inverting | Specifies if the signal from the digital port is inverted or not inverted. |
| Debounce | 0.000 - 1.000 | Specifies how long (in seconds) the signal must remain in a state to be considered a valid state change. |
| Port | Defined by your meter's hardware | Your meter's physical digital input port. |
Note: IRIG-B can only be connected to one of the digital inputs located on the meter base, not an option module. You must also configure your meter's clock to use IRIG-B time synchronization.
To configure the option module digital inputs using ION Setup:
- Start ION Setup.
- Open the Setup Assistant for your meter.
- Navigate to Expansion Module > Option I/O Modules and select the module tab that corresponds to the option module with the digital input you want to configure.
- Select the digital input channel and click Edit. The setup screen for that digital input is displayed.
- Configure the digital input by selecting the parameter and clicking Edit.
- Once the parameter has been configured, click OK to save the setting to the meter.
