Setting the DIP switches to Assign Board Numbers

 

 

Each input board must have a unique address assigned by the DIP switches on each input board.  A unique address will ensure that the Data Logger will correctly read all of the boards set up.  If two or more boards have the same address, multiple errors could occur such as: Data Logger reading data from one board one second, then reading data from another board the next second, no data being read from the Data Logger, etc.  It is important that each board has a unique address.  Each DIP switch has four switches on it labeled: 1, 2, 3, and 4.  These numbers follow a binary numbering system – i.e. 1 = 1, 2 = 2, 3 = 4, and 4 = 8.  There is an ON and an OFF position for each switch.  OFF = 0 and ON = 1.
