Disconnecting a Module
To disconnect an external AnB module, it’s important to stop using it first. You can ensure this is the case
either by returning both task windows to the main menu screen, or by turning the T-Box™ 2 off.
At this point, the module should be idle and you can unplug the AnB module’s USB cable. When you next
refresh the list of available AnB modules on the AnB selection screen, or use the Graphing screen, the
external AnB module will no longer be present as an option.
NOTE: You should power off/disconnect any equipment attached to the external AnB module’s
ancillary port before disconnecting the external AnB module.
NOTE: If you remove the AnB module while it is in use, you risk rendering it inoperable until the
T-Box™ 2 is restarted, and unpredictable behaviour from the user interface and the AnB
module itself. This may include unpredictable behaviour of any equipment connected to
the AnB ancillary port at the time. Only remove the external AnB module when it is not
actively in use. If an AnB module is accidentally removed while in use, the T-Box™ 2 user
interface will attempt to gracefully close any task(s) that were using it, but you will lose
any unsaved data from those tasks.
Select AnB Screen
The T-Box™ 2 contains two inbuilt AnB (analogue board) modules, allowing for simultaneous reading of two
transducers.
The Select AnB menu is used to select one of the two AnB (transducer) ports for measurement and is opened
when the user wishes to use the Measure Screen. Once selected you will be taken to the Measure Screen.
The example below shows a torque transducer (500 N·m) connected to AnB port 1 and a force transducer (50
N) attached to AnB port 2.
If you wish to measure from both transducers simultaneously, use the second window to open a second
Measure screen and select the other AnB for that screen.
To select a transducer just tap on it. If you remove or connect transducers, press REFRESH to update the
changes on the screen.
