Application Software

Apply Data Security (2638A and 1586A)

Monitor Channel (2680A and NetDAQ only)

Select a channel measurement to show on the front panel

of the NetDAQ or 2680 products during operation.

Increment though active channels or automatically scan

through all active channels. Default is None. The 2638A

display channels may be set to page through channels on

the front display automatically or may be scrolled from the

front panel manually during scanning.

Scan Parameters/Instrument Settings

Parameters that can be set to start, stop, and save scan

data.

Note

Start Scan on Power Up (for stand-alone operation)

or automatically start scanning after a power loss can

also be selected.

Scan Overflow (2680 Series)

Overwrite old data or stop receiving data when the buffer

is full.

Apply Data Security (2638A and 1586A)

This setting is not associated with the Software security

programs settings which control program access. This

setting is used for data and configuration files created

internally by the 1586A and 2638A. When checked, and

data storage is set to Internal or USB, this setting adds

instrument user ID information to the setup file

information stored in the running configuration file. This

setting does not disallow unauthorized users (Guests)

from running configuration files but identifies data created

by authorized users and Guest (unverified) users. User

data, authorized user, and user name or “Guest” is stored

in the Fluke DAQ .XML configuration file.

The 2638A and 1586A create a signature field at the end

of each scan data record to data being stored in internal

memory. This signature field contains a unique checksum

value at the time of recording.

When data is sent to the Software during a “Get Scan”

operation, or imported from USB, or transferred from an

exported chart file, the Software verifies the checksum

contained in each record. If a checksum does not match,

a warning is issued that the data has been corrupted and

checksum values do not match.

Upload / Download (2638A and 1586A)

In configuration mode, Upload sends the configuration file

to the remote instrument. Download sends the current

configuration file to the instrument. Fluke recommends

that you download the configuration file to remote

instruments prior to initiating scan.
