iDAS data are defined by the PARAMETER type and are stored through different triggering EVENTS 
in data CHANNELS, which relate triggering events to data parameters and define certain 
operational functions related to the recording and reporting of the data. 
6.12.1.1. iDAS Channels 
The key to the flexibility of the iDAS is its ability to store a large number of combinations of 
triggering events and data parameters in the form of data channels. Users may create up to 20 
data channels and each channel can contain one or more parameters. For each channel one 
triggering event is selected and up to 50 data parameters, which can be the same or different 
between channels. Each data channel has several properties that define the structure of the 
channel and allow the user to make operational decisions regarding the channel (Table 6-22).

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION  DEFAULT SETTING 
RANGE 
NAME 
The name of the data channel. 
“NONE” 
Up to 6 letters and 
digits (more with 
APICOM, but only the 
first six are displayed 
on the front panel). 
TRIGGERIN
G EVENT 
The event that triggers the data channel to 
measure and store its data parameters. See 
APPENDIX A-5 for a list of available triggering 
events.

LIST 
A User-configurable list of data types to be 
recorded in any given channel. See APPENDIX
