Section 1
1.5 AquaTrend Interface Menu Organization
The AquaTrend Interface main menu can be accessed at any time by
pressing the MENU key. The main menu categories are described in the
following sections.
1.5.1 Alarm Log
The alarm log menu provides a historical account of sensor specific alarm
information as well as AquaTrend Interface network alarm information.
1.5.2 AquaTrend Interface Menu
The AquaTrend Interface menu provides access to AquaTrend Interface
display and status settings. Display settings, language selection, time and
date settings, and security settings all reside in the AquaTrend Interface
menu. Access this menu to change the way information appears on the
AquaTrend Interface screen.
1.5.3 Sensor Menu
The sensor menu contains all sensor specific information including
calibration, alarm and recorder setup, measurement options, and sensor
diagnostics. The contents of this menu will change based on the sensor you
are working with. Since all of these menu items are stored within the sensor,
they are designed to be sensor specific. Access this menu to change sensor
settings or information.
1.5.4 Other Device Menu
The other device menu contains information specific to accessory devices
that are not sensors. Such examples include Signal Output Modules, Serial
I/O Modules and Digital Display Modules. Access this menu to change
settings or information for non-sensor devices.
1.5.5 Network Menu
The network menu contains information specific to performing network
operations. This includes adding, removing, and replacing devices on the
network. In addition, it contains menu items needed to establish
communications between devices. For example, once a sensor and Digital
Display Module are added to the system via the AquaTrend Interface, you
must instruct the sensor to attach its reading to the Digital Display Module.
Because many underlying network connections occur when performing
network operations, it is important to have all existing devices on the network
powered and operating normally when network operations are conducted.
Section 3 and Section 4 of this manual describe how to use these menus
together to build and configure your network.
