DigitalFlow™ GF868 Programming Manual (2-Channel)

1.7 Entering Global Data

The

GLOBL

menu is used to enter information that is not specific to one of the individual channels. Information

programmed via this menu is used to compute parameters such as the sum, difference or average of the channel 1 and
channel 2 signals. In addition, several general system parameters may be entered in the

GLOBL

menu.

IMPORTANT:

When calculating the

SUM

DIF

AVE

readouts, data from the

GLOBL-SYSTM

submenu is used. Any

conflicting data entered in the

CH1-SYSTM

CH2-SYSTM

submenus is overridden.

The following submenus are included in the

GLOBL

menu:

•

CLOCK

- used to enter the current date and time

•

SYSTM

- used to specify the units of measure used in calculations

•

I/O

- used to set up error handling and to configure analog inputs and outputs

•

COMM

- used to set up the serial communications port

•

SECUR

- used to specify a programming access password.

After selecting

[F3]=GLOBL

at the initial programming screen, the following screen appears:

Refer to Figure 13 on page 89 and Figure 14 on page 90, and remember to record all programming data in Appendix B,
