(b) DataBANKTM Card

The DataBANKTM card is a PCMCIA card that interfaces with the controller through

the programming slot and can download data at a much faster rate when compared

to the PC or DataReader. Files downloaded to the DataBANK card files are

accessible through an Omni PC Card Drive. The files can then be viewed using the

DataLine software.

The DataLINE software for a personal computer is supplied on both floppy disks and

CD. This software allows interrogation, configuration variable assignment, screen

view of the data, hard copy report generation, cold treatment probe calibration, and

file management. Refer to Data Retrieval manual 62-10629 for a more detailed

explanation of the DataLINE interrogation software. The DataLine manual may be

found on the Internet at www.container.carrier.com

(11) DataCORDER Alarms.

Alarm display is an independent DataCORDER function. I f an operating parameter is

outside of the expected range or a component does not return the correct signals back to

the DataCORDER an alarm is generated. The DataCORDER contains a buffer of up to

eight alarms. A listing of the DataCORDER alarms is provided in Table 2-7.

To display alarm codes:

a. While in the Default Display mode, press the ALT. MODE&ALARMLIST keys. This

accesses the Data-CORDER Alarm List Display Mode, which displays any alarms

stored in the Alarm Queue.

b. To scroll to the end of the alarm list, press the UP ARROW. Depressing the DOWN

ARROW key will scroll the list backward.

c. The left display will show “AL#” where # is the alarms number in the queue. The right

display will show “AA##,” if the alarm is active, where ## is the alarm number. “IA##,”

will show if the alarm is inactive.

d. “END” is displayed to indicate the end of the alarm list if any alarms are active.

“CLEAr” is displayed if all the alarms in the list are inactive.

e. If no alarms are active, the Alarm Queue may be cleared. The exception to this rule

is the DataCORDER Alarm Queue Full alarm (AL91), which does not have to be

inactive in order to clear the alarm list.
