Chapter 3. HOW TO USE THE LOADER
3 - 1
Overview
Overview of functions
Connect the loader to the device in order to change the parameters, monitor the
flow rate and device status, and for other operations (zero point adjustment, etc.).
Parameters and monitoring results can be saved to a file. The saved file can be
opened to check the data, and parameters can be written to the device.
In addition, with the device not connected, it is possible to edit new parameter
settings and save them to a file, and connect the device afterward to write the
parameters to the device.
Handling Precautions
•
As a result of internal calculation (rounding), the value of the least significant
digit displayed on the loader might differ from the value the device has
internally.
•
As a result of internal calculation, the least significant digit near either the
range high or range low limit may be judged to be outside the range limit,
with the result that the number cannot be input.
