The menu system

Start method. T

he Start methods are described below.

Manual start. This is the default method. Manual starting of integration is

triggered wit

h the INTEG RUN key on the front panel. Press this key to start

the integrator running on all groups conﬁgured as integrator mode with a

manual start and are currently not running. The LED under the key turns on.

Clock start. Use this mode to set the time and date of when you want the

integration to start for the group. The time and date are entered in the speciﬁed

format under the Clock menu under System Conﬁguration (See page 60.).

Once the desired time has been reached, integration will start.

If you s et a time / date combination before the current time and date, then

integration will not start. Integration will only start after at least one screen

update has occurred before the start time.

Level start. In this start method, you have the ability to start integrating when

a certain parameter either goes above or below a user entered level. Once the

condit

ions have been met, integration will start.

You can conﬁgure the following:

Select the channel, 1 through 4.

Select a signal parameter from that channel. This can be any parameter

with the exception of integrated values and harmonic values (including

fundamentals).

Select the threshold level to be monitored. This is the actual parameter

value in decimal. For example, for 80 mA enter 0.08; for 80 V enter 80.

Select whether the signal level should be greater than or equal to the level

or less than or equal to the level.

A trigger Channel 1-4 can be selected from any group and used as a

trigger for integration. The trigger measurement does not have to be in the

hannel or group that you are integrating.

Stopping integration. The integration of a group can be stopped manually or

after a certain period of time. If the duration for the group is set to zero, then the

integration will only stop if the INTEG RUN key is pressed. The duration is

entered in minutes as a ﬂoating point number from 0.0 to 10,000.

When you press the INTEG RUN key to manually stop the integration, integration

stops on all groups that are in integrator mode with the integrator running where

the duration is set to zero. The LED under the key turns off if there is no more

integration going on within any group.

Resetting integration values. The RESET/CLEAR key will reset the integration

values to zero for all stopped groups. It has no effect on groups that are running

integration.
