SETUP
First things first
Upon power up, you are presented momentarily with an identification screen, which includes
the software revision level and serial number of your unit.
Within a few seconds, the MAIN screen is presented. This screen should show current date
and time, ambient factors, power source information and current test number and prompt the
operator to “Select Operation”. The test-numbering scheme begins with 1500 and displays
the number of remaining tests.
One of the menu options is SETUP. Once significant programming has been done and data
taken the SETUP mode should not be tinkered with! There is no BACK button. Thus,
SETUP is probably the first thing the user should become familiar with. Press the “SETUP”
key.
The present menu is identified in the upper left corner of the screen as “SETUP”. Menu
items are: SYSTEM, MANUAL, AUTO, OPTION and (back to) MAIN. Select SYSTEM to go
to the SETUP SYSTEM menu
SETUP SYSTEM Menu:
CLOCK – Sets the system’s real time clock. This should be set to the present local date
and time in order for all future tests to be properly stamped. Once new data (if any) has
been entered, press EXIT and elect to SET the clock to the time shown on the SETUP
SYSTEM CLOCK screen or EDIT to change the settings or CANCEL to change nothing
and return to the MAIN menu.
HUMI/TEMP – Simply displays the present temperature and relative humidity. These
can only be changed via connection to a PC.
RAM/EE – The first screen under this option asks, “Clear all test data – Y/N?” A “Y(es)”
response will permanently erase all accumulated test data from memory. The next two
windows prompt a similar decision for Group/Location names and test setups. These
decisions should not be taken lightly as deletions are irreversible.
S/N – Displays software revision number and instrument serial number. These cannot be
modified.
RETURN – Returns to SETUP Menu
M SETUP Menu:
The M(anual) Setup screen displays a list of five user selectable manual test options. Three
of them; M1, M2 and M3 may be modified. The “Factory” option uses “standard” settings and
the “Test” option has settings used during factory testing of each unit. These two may not be
changed.
The parameters of any of the manual tests may be viewed or those of the first three edited to
meet user requirements by highlighting the test and pressing the DISPLAY key.
A symbol “D>” indicates which one is selected as the default test. To change the default,
scroll to highlight one of the options using the NEXT key and press the DEFAULT key. The
selected test will remain the default test until re-selected. Previously stored test results are
not affected by a new default setting but all subsequent tests will be made with the new
default until changed by this method.
