DayTronic System 10, User Manual Book

Page: 36 / 414

The Model 10P80D Extended Keyboard has a 2-line LCD “billboard” for display
of command entries, system interrogation responses, and standard system
prompting messages. It also has the special “keypad” setup and interrogation
features of the 10KU-KD and 10K4T-KD mainframes (discussed Section 17 of this
booklet and in Section 2.R of the System 10 Guidebook). Note also that the hand-
held
Models 10P25A and 10P25D Operator’s Keyboards can be used with
A-sized mainframes to perform a limited number of “run-time” operations, as
described in Section 2.S of the System 10 Guidebook.
FOR ALL PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN THIS BOOKLET, IT IS ASSUMED THAT
YOU ARE USING AN EXTENDED KEYBOARD FOR LOCAL MANUAL ENTRY OF
SETUP AND INTERROGATION COMMANDS. REMEMBER, HOWEVER, THAT YOU
CAN JUST AS EASILY ENTER ALL COMMANDS GIVEN IN THIS BOOKLET
THROUGH AN EXTERNAL COMPUTER OR TERMINAL, ONCE RS-232 LINKAGE
THROUGH THE COMPUTER INTERFACE PORT HAS BEEN PROPERLY ESTAB-
LISHED. For “remote” command entry, the easy-to-use
TERMINAL program is
included in the StartPAC V software supplied with your mainframe—although any
conventional terminal emulation package will also work.
If your mainframe does not have an extended keyboard, you will have to enter all
commands “remotely.” In this case, you will need to set up your mainframe’s
Computer Interface Port before any other procedures are performed. Turn now
to Section 2.B of your System 10 Guidebook and follow the interface setup
instructions given there.

New Windows ® -based
System 10 Configurator Software for “A-Sized” Systems
may now be ordered free of charge from
daytronic.com
Employing the run-time version of Microsoft
®
Access 2000 , this program
lets you define, store, edit, download, and manage any number of “A-sized”
configurations (only). This convenient utility will save a great deal of time and
effort when it comes to setting up the system. And it provides complete back-
up security if an existing configuration ever needs to be reloaded.
A sequence of easy-to-use screens with complete context-sensitive HELP
steps you through the entire setup process—all the way from selecting and
“locating” the plug-in cards that go into the mainframe to “live” calibration of
individual analog input channels, based on an appropriate user-selected
method. Visit
daytronic.com for complete details.
