| There is no startup cicode function
available to initialise the Brain boards and you will need to write
these yourselves. Each board can be configured differently and so
will require a different startup sequence for each hence there is
no generic code for initialising.
The problem is that when you power down these brain boards they
lose their current configuration and need to be re-initialised when
they power up again, otherwise strange values will been shown by
Citect. Hence the startup code will need to be tailored depending
on how many boards there are and how they are setup (e.g input or
output boards) which is why no generic code has been written. What
we recommend is to have say an initialisation page with forms to be
able to initialise any board when a power down occurs. This page
may have default values for the boards and as an option let the
user enter data.
Regarding linearisation of the thermocouples. This can either be
done "on board" or via Citect. This is not documented very well in
the help and you should refer to the Knowledge Base article Q1678
and look at data type AITL#.@ and look at data type AIPROBE$*. This
latter parameter contains the values for @ in the former data type.
The @ symbol in the online help is referred to as "p". You can
substitute any of the values in AIPROBE$* to get linearisation. I
hope this helps.
