If the CR10 or CR10X is not equipped with the MultiSensor Interface see Appendix D of the MultiLogger
Software User’s Guide for sensor wiring diagrams. If the CR10 or CR10X is equipped with the
MultiSensor Interface then see the MultiSensor Interface User’s Guide for additional sensor wiring
diagrams.
2.4 MultiLogger Software Configuration
To configure MultiLogger to use the MultiMux
select CAN MultiMux as your multiplexer Model
on the Configure | Multiplexers form. Before the
individual channels may be edited you must select
a Gage Type, if the MultiSensor Interface is being
used then select MultiSensor, as shown in the
illustration at right, otherwise the type of gage
connected. Select either 16 Channels (default), 32
Channels or 48 Channels to match the DIP switch
settings of the MultiMux. The Enable and Clock
port settings are generally ignored when
MultiSensor is selected as the Gage Type, with
the exception of using the Enable setting to
determine DaisyMux configuration. See section 2.9
for more information on DaisyMux operation.
If the VWDSP Interface is being used (without the
MultiSensor Interface) be sure to select the
VWDSP Gage Type, as shown.
