5) Once all eight of the switches have been set, a printout prompts whether to “Continue”
to repeat the procedure for
DIP Switch 2 and then DIP Switch 3 , or “Write” the current
settings to memory. Once saved, a printout is generated and the printer returns to
normal operation.
CAUTION:
Do not turn the printer off while it is saving settings—wait until Dip SW setting complete!
is printed before removing power.

Software Setup
Hard copies of Analyzer data can be produced on demand and other print-related operations
can be performed. The available print options include the following functions:
• The ability to print and examine the Analyzer’s internal log.
• The capacity to print comprehensive Analyzer setup and factory configuration
parameters.
8.3.1 Internal Log
Note:
Default: Data & Audit
Each Anatel A643a Analyzer’s onboard log protects against data loss by chronologically
recording any events. An
Audit Only selection in the Log Setup Menu records power cycles,
alarm codes and parameter changes. The default setting of Data & Audit also stores analysis
results and Purge Mode data. In either case, all events are time-stamped and the log is only
updated when information is sent to the printer. Any parameter changes have an additional line
containing the date and identifying the person who made the instrument change.
The log also tracks the Analyzer’s available memory. The amount of data stored in the log
depends on the
Log Setup as well as the instrument’s TOC Print (see “Auto TOC Printout” on
page 69 ) and Purge Print (see “Purge Printouts” on page 72 ) settings. For example, with Data
& Audit selected and sampling at one-minute intervals in the Purge Mode, the log will retain
approximately two and a half days worth of information before it begins writing over the earliest
data recorded; sampling every six minutes would hold about 16 days of data. With
Audit Only
selected and few changes made to the instrument, the log will store information for an indefinite
period.
