System Menu
6.1 Overview
The System menu allows you to examine and change settings that affect the
chassis of the SC instrument. You can view the internal software revision and the
instrument’s configuration (i.e. what type of input channel is installed as Channel
01.).
Detailed instructions on operating the SC instrument in the SETUP Menu mode
can be found in “SETUP Menu mode” on page 23. A diagram of all menus is
located in the “Setup Menu Reference” on page 133.

When selected, a sub-menu is displayed which lists all available channels in an
SC Series instrument. By pressing [ENTER] when a channel number is dis-
played, the card type installed in that channel is shown. If a card is not installed in
that channel, the message “
NOT INSTALLED
” is shown. Press [ENTER] again to
return to the sub-menu listing of all channels.

DIAGNOSTICS
Sub-
Menu
This sub-menu allows exercising of the Option connector’s Limit Output pins and
monitoring of the Input Channel’s Auxilliary Input pins.
LIMIT OUTPUT n
Menu Items
These menus items are used to select a Limit Output to activate or deactivate.
The Limit Outputs are updated immediately.
If the instrument was not purchased with any Limit Outputs, then these menu
items do not have any effect.
AUX INPUT TEST
Menu Item
When this item is selected, the status of the Auxilliary Function digital inputs on
the Input Channel connector are continuously scanned and displayed. A “0”
means that an Auxilliary Function pin (labeled as “AUX1” or “AUX2” on the Input
Channel’s connector) is not connected to the (-)Signature pin (labeled as “-
MEM”). A “1” means that these pins are connected (asserted).
Press any button to exit this operation.
SCAN TIME
Menu Item When selected, this menu item displays the time, in seconds, that it last took for
the chassis to service all of the channels. In the RUN mode, the chassis reads
each channel’s track, peak and valley value sequentially. After each channel has
been serviced, the limits are processed.
The value displayed is obtained from the last execution of the RUN mode prior to
entering the SETUP menu mode. If you enter the SETUP mode immediately after
power up, the display will read “
NOT AVAILABLE
”.
