Setting ADC/ADS6800 +A4BC Control Parameters
Table 3-2 lists all of the card-edge parameters and options for the ADS6800+A4BC modules. All parameters clip unless otherwise indicated.
Table 3-3 list the read-only parameters that are available when monitoring your module using CCS software such as
+ Pilot Lite, Pilot, or Navigator.
The On/Off combinations of the control LEDs on the card-edge indicate the active bank number. See “Changing Parameter Settings” for more information.
Legend
Bold option = Indicates that this is the default setting for the parameter
1(superscript digit)= Indicates that there is a footnote for this parameter entry, found at the end of the table
* = Indicates that this option is only available on ADS6800+A4BC four-channel modules
Note
The sequence of options listed in the Options column mirrors the sequence achieved when you move the Navigation Toggle switch up.
