Chapter 3 Getting Started
Page 3-9
3.4 Programming
While the unit may be programmed remotely, the exercises in the following sections deal with manually programming
the unit from the front panel using the display and the touch screen keypad. Various buttons and keys will be
presented on the display. The user simply makes a choice by pressing the appropriate key or button. In some
instances, direct selection is not possible but rather a series of choices is made by using an
UP (
↑↑↑↑↑
)
or
DOWN (
↓↓↓↓↓
)
button and pressing the
ENTER
or
EXIT button
. Once programming is complete, the unit automatically “learns”
the current setup which is stored in nonvolatile memory and remembered indefinitely.
When powering up the unit for the first time, or if the data in the nonvolatile memory should become corrupt, the
user will be asked to perform a Smart Initialize; select
No
. The user will then be requested to perform a full
initialization. Select
Yes
at this stage to reset all values to the default.
There are many parameters that can be programmed including: time and date, the display, the virtual chart and
pens, the points, the recording capability, the alarms, the digital outputs and the communication port.
