you have assembled (see the Applications section).
2. Determine what sensors, transducers, or transmitters you need to do the job (if not
already present). Compatible transducers for monitoring temperature, humidity,
pressure, speed, and many more variables are available through a wide variety of
vendors (see Selecting Transducers and Transmitters).
3. Modify the channels, externally (using resistors), if required, for maximum resolution (see
Customizing Input Ranges).
4. Write a Custom Equation to convert the internal A/D converter readings from the
transducer or circuit you want to monitor into the proper engineering units required (for
example, a 4-20mA signal representing 0 to 10,000 l/min). For help in writing these
equations refer to the TrendReader guide.

5. Decide how you are going to power your transducers (if required). You can either use a
standard power supply, creating a circuit like that shown in Figure 7-2 or use batteries,
producing your own self-contained logging assembly (Figure 7-3). For this application
