SKC Pump Scheduler Pump Schedule The Pump Schedule (Figure 19) contains pump programs (or pump schedules) set by the Program Edit Bar. The pump is programmed for a sampling operation by sending this list of programs to the pump‘s memory. The Pump Schedule is built by using the Programming buttons described in the next section. The maximum number of programs that can be contained in the Pump Schedule is 26. Figure 19.
SKC Pump Scheduler Insert Button To insert the completed program from the Program Edit Bar into the Pump Schedule (Figure 19), click on the Insert button (Figure 20). The Pump Schedule can hold 26 programs. However, if a large number of programs are to be stored, consider using the Cycle Scheduler (see page 25) or the Repeat Scheduler (see page 26). Cut Button To clear the selected (highlighted) program from the Pump Schedule and place it into the Program Edit Bar, click on the Cut button (Figure 20).
SKC Pump Scheduler FromPump Button To display a Pump Schedule from a previously programmed pump, click on the FromPump button (Figure 20). Time Bump Buttons To increase or decrease all program start and stop times in the Pump Schedule, click on the Time Bump buttons (Figure 32). Save a Program (File Menu) To save information from the Pump Schedule to a PC as a program file, select the Save command from the File menu. The default extension “.pgm” is used to indicate Pump Schedule files.
SKC Pump Scheduler Calendar The Calendar (Figure 26) shows the time interval over which the pump can be programmed. Use the Calendar to select the start and stop dates for the scheduled sample run. Selecting a Date To select a date, click on it then click on the Start Date/Time or Stop Date/Time cell in the Program Edit Bar to enter the date into that cell. Use the right and left arrows to select a different month. Figure 26.
SKC Pump Scheduler Selecting a Time Using the Digital Time Display The Digital Time display (Figure 30) can also be used to select the time, especially outside the clock resolution settings. Doubleclick on the time display to highlight it (Figure 31), then key in the desired time (including the colon). One or more numbers can be individually selected by clicking and dragging across the digit to be changed. Click on the appropriate time cell in the Program Edit Bar to enter the time into that cell.
SKC Pump Scheduler Date/Time Display FLOW To access the Date/Time Display window (Figure 33), go to the Tools menu and select Compare Pump Clock/PC Clock. This feature allows the time and date of the PC and the connected pump to be synchronized. L / mins LelandLegacy Figure 33. Date/Time Display Window Resetting the pump time will issue a Clear History Message (Figure 34). The pump history must be cleared before the pump time can be reset. Figure 34.
SKC Pump Scheduler Scheduler Options To access the Scheduler Options window (Figure 35) in the SKC Pump Scheduler, go to the View menu and select Scheduler Presets. The Scheduler Options window includes User Lock Out, Clear History, and Reset Volume, Time, Temperatures, and Pressures. The Scheduler Options take effect when the Pump Schedule is sent to the pump’s memory from the SKC Pump Scheduler window (see page 16). Figure 35. Scheduler Options Button Function User Lock Out .....................
SKC Pump Scheduler Cycle Scheduler To access the Cycle Scheduler window (Figure 36) in the Pump Scheduler, go to the View menu and select Cycle Scheduler. The Cycle Scheduler window allows the user to program intermittent (repeated start/stop) sampling cycles that will run over several days in a minimal number of steps. See pages 27-30 for an example schedule. Figure 36. Cycle Scheduler Cell/Button Readout/Function Cycle Setup Run Cell ........enter time that each cycle is to run Cycle Setup Hold Cell ..
SKC Pump Scheduler Repeat Scheduler To activate the Repeat Scheduler (Figure 37), go to the Repeat Schedule cell in the Pump Scheduler window and click in the box until a check mark appears. Click on the desired time frame (daily or weekly) and enter the desired number of cycles in the Execute Count cell. Enter the desired flow rate in the Set Flow cell or click the Set Flow button. Click the ToPump button. Go to the View menu and select Preview Repeat Scheduler.
Example Scheduler Program Example Scheduler Program This example program demonstrates step-by-step how to use the SKC Pump Scheduler window (see page 16) to set a program. A sampling operation requires the Leland Legacy to sample at a constant flow of 10 L/min from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily for one work week. Enter the parameters as follows. To Reset Volume, Time, Temperature, and Pump History To set the flow rate: Click on the Set Flow button. The Scheduler Set Flow window opens. Click on the 10.
Example Scheduler Program To insert the program into the Pump Scheduler: Click on the Insert button. The program appears in the Pump Schedule. Note that the program is still displayed in the Program Edit Bar. The Pump Scheduler now has a program that tells the pump to run at a constant flow of 10 L/min from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Monday. The same operating parameters must be entered for each day of the week. To add extra days to the program schedule: Click on the +Day button.
Example Scheduler Program Repeat Scheduler If the user wishes to repeat the example schedule for the next 10 weeks, the Repeat Scheduler could be used to save entry time (refer to Figure 37). 1. In the Pump Scheduler, set up a regular program (see pages 16-24). 2. At the bottom of the window, click on the Repeat Schedule box (a check mark should appear). 3. Click on the Weekly button. 4. Click in the Execute Count box and enter the number 10. 5.
Example Scheduler Program To set the desired Scheduler Options: Select Scheduler Presets from the View menu and click on the desired Scheduler Options (see page 24). To write the program to the Pump: Click on the ToPump button. DataTrac will now write all steps contained in the Pump Schedule to the pump. To save a pump program to a PC: Select the Save command from the File menu. The program displayed in the Pump Schedule will be saved as a program file (.pgm).
SKC Pump History SKC Pump History The SKC Pump History window (Figure 38) displays a record of all operations the pump has performed. Approximately 300 histories can be stored in the pump‘s memory. This window can also be saved to a PC or printed. Figure 38.
