ROCLINK 800 buttons
Several buttons are used to manage the ROCLINK 800 interface or data exchange with the
Model 3711 component. They do not interact with the core processor component. These buttons are
found on many ROCLINK 800 windows and dialog boxes (see Figure 2-4):
• OK – Closes the current window or dialog box. If there are any unsaved changes on the screen,
a popup is displayed, asking the user if the changes should be saved to the Model 3711
configuration.
•
Apply
– Writes the configuration parameters that are currently shown on the ROCLINK 800
display to the Model 3711 configuration.
•
Cancel
– Closes the current window or dialog box without changing any parameters, and
without displaying a confirmation popup.
•
Update
– Updates the display from current values in the Model 3711.
• Auto Scan and Stop Scan – Enables and disables the Auto Scan feature. Auto Scan
automatically updates the display from the Model 3711, at configured intervals. See
Section 3.5 for information on configuring the Auto Scan interval.
If Auto Scan is not enabled, it may be useful to click
Apply
, then click
Update
, so that the screen
displays the results of your actions.
Figure 2-4 Common buttons
Two additional buttons – the
Write Config
and
Read Config
buttons – manage data exchange with
the core processor component as well as the Model 3711 component:
• The
Write Config Data
button writes the displayed configuration parameters to the core
processor. If you have changed a parameter in ROCLINK 800, but not written it to the
Model 3711, a popup is displayed to allow you to save the change to the Model 3711.
- If you click
Yes
, the change is saved to the Model 3711, and then written to the core
processor.
- If you click
No
, the change is discarded and nothing is written to the Model 3711 or the
core processor.
• The
Read Config Data
button reads configuration parameters from the core processor and
updates the ROCLINK 800 display. If you have changed a parameter in ROCLINK 800 but
not written it to the Model 3711, a popup is displayed to allow you to save the change.
- If you click
Yes
, the change is written to the Model 3711 and the core processor before
values are read back to the display.
- If you click
No
, the change is discarded and the existing values in the core processor are
read back to the display.
These buttons appear only on the Mass Flow, Density, and Temperature panels (see Section 5.4).
Note: The core processor is the component which provides preprocessing of the sensor data. In the
Model 3711 system, ROCLINK 800 communicates with the Model 3711 component, which in turn
communicates with the core processor component, which communicates with the sensor.
