[Dsg-halld_plc] [New Logentry] Follow-up Re: Inoperative magnetometer reading partially troubleshot

[Brian Eng]

Here's what the PXI does with either of those PVs.

First , as some background, it keeps a list of what how the ADC channels map to the signal names along with things like offset, slope, terminal block type, etc in a configuration file that it loads when initializing.

HallD-PXI:Control:Zero PV = 1 makes the PXI sample all the channels and writes their current voltages to the offset of that channel in the config file.
HallD-PXI:Control:Reset PV = 1 makes the PXI write 0 to all the offsets in the config file.

Looking at the PXI now, the B_Field ADC channels is reading ~0.7 V which seems reasonable based on DMM measurements from yesterday. The CSS screen shows 0.7 T right now as well.

Is the conversion for the gaussmeter supposed to be 1V = 1T?
