Configuration of FP-Modules. In the catalog is something written about sending data on data change. There is a checkbox in the FP-Explorer but I can�t find a configuration menu in FP-Explorer to set the threshold value at which the data will be send.

: Configuration of FP-Modules. In the catalog is something written about sending data on data change. There is a checkbox in the FP-Explorer but I can�t find a configuration menu in FP-Explorer to set the threshold value at which the data will be send.The FP-1600 modules automatically send data on-change only. The change threshold is by default 0%. Any change, even a single least significant bit change, is sent back to the computer. If the FP-1600 firmware revision supports deadbanding (firmware revision 3.0.x and later, can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/fieldpoint/Update/FPEthernet0320.zip ). Then on each analog channel or count channel you can specify a percentage change for deadbanding in FieldPoint Explorer. This is done on a channel by channel basis, by right-clicking on the particular IO module and choosing Edit this Device, then choosing Channel Configuration. Each channel (if it supports deadbanding) will have a deadband entry box on the middle right side of the screen).

The FP-1000/1001 seri
al network modules do not support deadbanding. The checkbox in FieldPoint Explorer is simply for how FieldPoint Explorer displays the data to the user and does not effect client programs nor the behavior of the network module itself.

I have the 3.0.2 Firmware but I can't configure the deadband. The same with the RTD Input Modules.

The most current version of FieldPoint Explorer (or any National Instruments software) can be found at http://ni.com/softlib.nsf/
