Hi, everyone. Today, we're going to look at the true meter, ad M 100 series graphical panel meter and we'll be configuring the unit
So last time we took a look at our unit that we have here and we've powered it up
We've used our nine volt battery and, and a potent meer a 10 and turn pot to actually bring that into the unit
and display it up on our screen here. Now, we're going to communicate to this unit and we do that by using just a standard
USB um printer cable. So it's an A B port and on the back of this unit
we can plug this in hit and cold right in there. And what we'll do is
set that down. We'll actually um plug this into the computer. And right now we are all
set to uh program our device. So let's uh let's go to our software
and our software present or gave us an icon on our screen
which is the AD M 100 series configure. And if we double click on it
it will call up our software, it will automatically detect that we have an AD M 100 multi meter um attached to this computer
So we'll configure that. And here it is here we have
uh let's bring that down. Here's our input signals, voltage amps frequency
We're gonna be sticking to the voltage, our scale so we can scale this unit
So right now it's times one. So it's the exact same as what we're bringing in for voltage
Um If you want two or 0.5 or whatever we want for that scr uh to be in an offset
Um Then we have a bar graph right now set for 0 to 600 volts
we'll go 0 to 10 volts. So we'll change that 10. So you can see here my scale as
I uh percentage. Ok? And we can display peak if we want
but in this case here we'll leave, peak is the same and then display uh zero it below a certain threshold
So will you leave that at zero? And let's change our, our limited or our decimal places to two because
the third one really doesn't matter much on when we're looking at um our battery
we can change the message, it says saying volts upon the um upper left corner here
let's change it to something else and let's change that to say nine um V
nine volt to the space and we'll just put a B in there for battery
So we said, ok, so now our display up in the left hand corner will say nine volt battery
So that's our basic information for our, our unit. Now, let's uh uh
take a look at the alarm one, an alarm one, we have an og output or a digital output
And this case here, what we'll do is we will um uh keep to our digital output
And what we'll say is when the value is um below three volts
what we want to do is change the back light. Um And we'll change the back light to
to not a flashing red. We'll do a steady red to see that we can also switch our put to on
And then our show display message, we can actually say uh low
So that's our message that we'll display when we get below our three volts
then we could set independently output alarm number two. Again, we'll say digital output
we'll switch on uh output two. We'll say when we are above and we can say this is going
to be seven volts and we'll change your back light and our back light will turn to green
indicating that we have a very good battery and we'll show her a message and our message will say good
move it. Ok. So now we have our two alarms set up
Now our regular backlight, this is our default, which is white, which is what we see currently right now on our display
And there are brightness or intensity for our brightness. So red kind of seems to be a hard color
So that's all in one. So we'll just turn up the intensity a little bit to make, uh, that red a little more dominant and
Alarm two. It's going to be green. So let's just, uh, we'll do up a little bit but not too much
So we can play around with this and determine exactly how we want that to operate
And with the last thing we can do is take a look at response times and we have a set for fast in our application
We're OK with that, you can slow things down so that it's easier to
is numbers aren't jumping around on you. So that's, that's everything that we were gonna do
So let's just go. Um We can save that save configuration file and we can save this as our battery
Ok? And now what we can do is we can write this to our AD M 100 and
we'll confirm the overrate. So now we have our are now are only
two decimal places. We have our nine volt B it says here
And if I increase this, actually, let's decrease that value and we'll go back down and three was our limit
So once we hit below three, it turns red and you can see that red is very uh um very
uh bright because our intensity was turned right up. So let's go above the uh three
it goes back to the white and then when we go above the seven
we should dangle green indicating it's really good. Here we go. And
we left the flashing green on. So that's showing us the, the flashing green
So let's just go back to our configuration here and that was alarm two
And sure enough bears are flashing. We'll leave that steady and then we'll take the alarm one and let's look at the
back light intensity here, turn it down a little bit. We'll save that for configuration again my
side and we can transfer it. Ok. So now we have a study and
you can see up here in the corner, we say it's good battery, then we lower it down again
We go back to the battery display message and then we lower it down below the three and
we go red and up in the corner here, we actually see it says low
