Software
Analog Input
The Analog Input screen is used for troubleshooting and diagnostic purposes
only. If you experience communication problems, select “Analog Input” from
the “Diagnostics” menu.
This screen shows the raw input received from the Swell Meter unit. Any
change in either the thermocouple or the transducer should be immediately
reflected on the graph.
To test the thermocouple, hold it in your hand for a few seconds. The
temperature line on the graph should go up to reflect the increase in
temperature.
To test the transducer, move it up and down and observe the graph. The
distance line should move accordingly.
If the graph does not react as expected, the communication between
the Swell Meter unit and the PC is not working properly. Check all cable
connections and try again. If this does not correct the problem, contact OFITE
for support.
Update Rate:
Move this slider to the right to increase the update rate on the
graph. Move it to the left to decrease the update rate.
Filtered/Raw:
Position the slider on “Filtered” to filter out signal noise. Select
“Raw” to see the raw signal without any filtering. The “Raw”
setting is useful for troubleshooting.
Pause/Plot:
Select “Pause” to pause the graph and temporarily stop
plotting data. Move the slider back to “Plot” to restart the
graph.
