MC-III™ Panel Mount Flow Analyzer Section 1
Event Log Archival
The MC-III Panel Mount saves up to 345 user event logs. Event logs are generated to track user changes such
as
K-factor changes, input setting changes, power-on reset and “watch-dog” reset, flow cut-off and frequency
cut-off.
By connecting with the interface software, users can download the logs for viewing and/or printing in tabular
format. In addition to showing old and new values, each event log is time-stamped, and includes the register
associated with the change. For more information, see Section 5 .
Password-Protected Security
A keypad security access code prevents unauthorized personnel from altering the calibration or accumulated
volume data in the instrument. The security feature may be disabled if this protection is not required.
Password-protected security access is enabled using the interface software. When this feature is enabled,
the user will be prompted for a password when attempting to enter any menu from the keypad. For more
information, see Security Setup, page 53 .
Commonly Used Functions
While the functions of the MC-III Panel Mount are too numerous to mention, some of the most commonly
used functions are detailed in this section. They include:
• reading the rate and accumulated total
• saving totals to memory
• resetting the total
• viewing daily and hourly logs
• saving and uploading configuration files
•
exporting log data to spreadsheet
• saving log data in a report
Reading Totals
Current totals can be viewed from the LCD on the front of the MC-III Panel Mount or from the interface
software (MC-III Main screen). The software calculates the flow total and updates the LCD display every 4
seconds, by default. The user can adjust the calculation period with the interface software. See Calculation
Period, page 58 , for more information.
Saving Totals to Memory
Hourly and daily totals are automatically saved to nonvolatile memory. A user may also save an accumulated
total at any time by pressing ENTER (SAVE) on the keypad. In the event of a power failure, the last saved
total will be displayed on the LCD when power is restored.
Important: Always save the accumulated total before replacing batteries.
Resetting the Total
Totals can be reset to zero using the keypad, the interface software, or a pulse from an external device.
• To reset the total with the keypad, press LEFT ARROW (LOG) and ENTER (SAVE) keys simultaneously.
