57-606 ECLIPSE Model 706 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter
3.4.6 Reset Function
A parameter labeled “Reset Parameter” is located at the end
of the DEVICE SETUP/ADVANCED CONFIG menu.
In the event a user gets confused during configuration or
advanced troubleshooting, this parameter gives the user the
ability to reset the Model 706 transmitter configuration.
Unique to the Model 706 transmitter is the ability for
MAGNETROL to fully “pre-configure” devices to customer
requests. For that reason, the Reset function will return the
device back to the state
at which it left the factory
.
It is recommended that MAGNETROL Technical Support
be contacted as the Advanced User password will be
required for this reset.
3.4.7 Additional Diagnostic/Troubleshooting Capabilities
3.4.7.1 Event History
As a means for improved troubleshooting capability, a
record of significant diagnostic events is stored with time
and date stamps. A real time on board clock (which must be
set by the operator), will maintain the current time.
3.4.7.2 Context-sensitive Help
Descriptive information relevant to the highlighted parameter
in the menu will be accessible via the local display and
remote host interfaces. This will most often be a parameter-
related screen, but could also be information about menus,
actions (for example, Loop [Analog Output] Test, resets of
various types), diagnostic indicators, etc.
For example: Dielectric Range — Selects the range bounding
the dielectric constant of the medium in vessel. For interface
measurement mode, it selects the range bounding the
dielectric constant of the lower liquid medium. Some ranges
may not be selectable depending on the probe model.
3.4.7.3 Trend Data
Another new feature to the Model 706 is the ability to log
several measured values (selectable from any of the
primary, secondary, or supplemental measured values) at a
configurable rate (for example, once every five minutes) for
a period ranging from several hours to a number of days
(depending on the configured sample rate and number of
values to be recorded). The data will be stored in non-
volatile memory in the transmitter with date and time
information for subsequent retrieval and visualization using
the associated Model 706 DTM.
