General

The Display Area

The layout of the display area varies according to the needs of the
active tasks/settings. The following
pictures give an overview of typical
elements seen in different display
area layouts.

Basic Measurement/Generation:

The display area is divided into two
windows with informative texts and
numeric measurement/generation
values.

A border surrounding a numeric
value indicates that the field is
editable. It is, e.g. a generation field
for entering generation values.

If several editable fields are visible,
choose the active field with the cur-
sor keys or the

B

/

Field

Function

Key.

Calibration:

The display area is divided into
three windows during a calibration.

The first window displays data re-
lated to the instruments input sig-
nal. The second corresponding
data related to the output signal.

The third window displays the er-
ror graph. The error graph is also
seen among calibration result data.

Configuration Window:

There are plenty of configuration
windows in MC5P. The picture be-
side is the configuration window for
Ramping settings.

The common thing for all configu-
ration windows is that they reserve
the whole display area for the con-
figuration fields.

Use the cursor keys to move be-
tween fields.
