100 MM CHART RECORDER USER GUIDE
3.2.1 CONFIGURABLE ITEMS (Cont.)
CHARACTER SET
The printable character set is A to Z, 0 to 9, hyphen, space, degrees, underscore. The displayable characters are limited
by the nature of a seven-segment display; characters which cannot be displayed, even approximately (k, m, w, x), are
replaced by the special symbol ' '.
In scroll lists, mV for example is displayed as 'n.nU', and a type K thermocouple is displayed as 'Ca'.
3.2.2 Pen Park/Fan
As described in section 2.3, this is used to disable the chart and pen drives of the recorder so that the chart and pens
or print cartridge can be changed safely. In the case of the continuous trace recorder, the pens 'fan' to allow easy ac-
cess to them all.
3.2.3 Chart speed
Entry from the SPd display allows the chart speed to be chosen from a scroll list, using the scroll up and/or scroll
down keys. The chart speeds available are:
MULTIPOINT RECORDERS
Off, 5 mm/hr, 10mm/hr, 20mm/hr, 30mm/hr, 60mm/hr, 120 mm/hr
CONTINUOUS-TRACE RECORDERS
Off, 5 mm/hr, 10mm/hr, 20mm/hr, 30mm/hr, 60mm/hr, 120 mm/hr, 240mm/hr, 300 mm/hr, 600mm/hr, 1200mm/hr,
3600mm/hr, 18m/hr (18n.n), 36m/hr (36n.n). If the annotator option is fitted, it will print only up to and including
300mm/hr chart speed
3.2.4 Zero
This is used to align the traces to chart zero.
MULTIPOINT RECORDERS
Upon entry, the chart advances, and a trace is placed on the chart where the recorder thinks chart zero is. The up and
down arrow keys are used to adjust the position of the trace so that it is aligned with the chart zero grid line.
CONTINUOUS-TRACE RECORDERS
Upon entry, the up/down scroll keys are used to select a channel (default = channel 1). Use of the Enter key causes
all pens but that associated with the selected channel to move to the centre of chart, whilst the selected pen moves to
where it believes chart zero is. The up and down scroll keys are used to align this pen's trace to the chart zero grid
line. Operation of the Enter key confirms the new zero position.
To align another pen, use the cancel (x) key to return to the channel select page, use the up/down scroll keys to select
another channel (annotator = A), and repeat the above process. Once all the required channel pens have been zeroed,
two operations of the cancel key take the user back to the main menu.
3.2.5 Span
This is used to align the traces with chart full scale, and operates in exactly the same way as described above for chart
zero, except, of course, that the alignment is carried out to the 100% chart grid line, not the 0% grid line.
