of the furnace. This value can be adjusted
from 600 to 900°C.
4. Remote Loading Function.
This function
allows for reloading of the software or for
installing a new version of the software via the
Serial port located on the back of the
instrument.
5. New Password Function.
This function
allows for the user to create and change the
password allowing access to the Maintenance
and Configuration Functions of the instrument.
Enter the desired password and follow the
steps indicated on the display.
6. Name Apparatus Function.
When the
instrument is delivered, the “name of the
apparatus” is its serial number. This number
appears, amongst other printouts, on the
logbook of the instruments configuration. This
function allows for users who wish to rename
the apparatus, change its name via the
alphanumeric function screen.
7. Graphic Impression Function.
The function
allows the user to choose between a simplified
version of the results or a graphical result
printout.
8. Printer Function.
This function allows the
user to select the print out format to be either
40 or 80 characters in width.
5.3.3 Hardware Configuration Functions
The following functions are accessible via the
Hardware Function
. From the main menu press
the “Configuration Key” located a the bottom right
corner. After entering the user password, the
following menu will feature the aforementioned
“Software Function”
key as well as the

1. Language Function.
This function allows the
user to convert the screens and the
impressions within the instrument from
between English and French.
2.
Unit Function. This function allows the user to
choose the
unit
of measure for the
temperature of the furnace. Either in degrees
Celsius or Fahrenheit.
3. Calibration Function.
This function allows
the user to calibrate the furnace temperature
probe.
3.1 Physical Calibration.
This calibration is
done by entering three (3) temperature
points via the keyboard. Enter these
points by first replacing the furnace
thermocouple
with
a
temperature
simulator. To do this, open remove the
furnace thermocouple from the port
located on the back of the instrument
(Section 4.2, Point 2) and replace with the
temperature simulator. The instrument will
now be able to communicate with the
simulator. It is recommended to use 50°C,
250°C, and 500°C as your points of
calibration. After the calibration, it is highly
recommended to print the configuration
logbook of the instrument. By doing so,
you will have a copy of the calibration
performed and will be able to refer to the
values entered.
3.2 Point Calibration.
This calibration allows
the user to input the calibration values
previously determined and found on a
Configuration Logbook without having to
repeat a physical calibration with the
temperature simulator.
3.3 View Calibration Function.
This function
allows the user to see the calibration
values on the display.
4. Offset Temperature Function.
This function
allows the user to input the temperature offset
for the cold welding compensation sensor of
the furnace thermocouple. The user must
simply enter a correct room temperature value
which will act as an offset temperature.
5. Test Function.
This function is mainly used
for instrument maintenance. This function
allows the user to control each physical
function of the instrument to ensure proper
operation. This includes instrument heating,
electro-valve, turbine, and buzzer function.
5.1 Self Diagnosis.
The function allows the
user to automatically run a complete cycle
of operation for each element of the
apparatus and print out a report to make
an instrument diagnosis.
5.2
Logbook Function. This function allows
the user to print the Configuration
Logbook which features all the current
