Keypad Entry
You can create keypad entries to define process input values such as
current or flow rates. You can enter process input values manually using
the keypad (instead of attaching a sensor to your machine). You can
then transfer the data you have collected to your computer, along with
your normal measurements.
If you include keypad entries in a route, your instrument will prompt you
to enter values at specific points along the route. Keypad entries can
also be used as onscreen reminders to perform machine checks (e.g. for
checking temperature and pressure).
To collect and record entries using the keypad:
1. Create keypad entries as part of a recording route.
2. Transfer your entries to your instrument.
3. Enter the values for each keypad entry item (when prompted to do
so by your instrument).
4. Transfer the values and recordings you have collected to your
computer for analysis.
