5.2.3 Setting the XY coordinates for the centre of the sample
The centre coordinates of each sample must be set to satisfy the standard criterion for the distance of the
penetration points from the edge of the Vicat ring. 4, 6, 8 or 12 samples can be set consecutively depend-
ing on the testing apparatus model.
Quit the selection window for setting the washing unit coordinates by pressing
button “2”
.
The display then shows the
selection window “Set XY coordinates for Sample 1?” (
Figure 37: selection window, set XY coordinates for sample 1?
Press
button
“1”
to access the window for setting the XY coordinates of sample 1 (
Press
button
“2”
to bypass the window for setting coordinates of currently displayed sample.
The next window (XY coordinates of Sample N+1) appears.
Figure 38: window for setting coordinates of sample 1
To set the coordinates of a sample, proceed as follows:
Select an axis:
Press
button “1”
to select
X-axis
Press
button “2”
to select
Y-axis
Modify the coordinate of the selected axis by pressing:
Button “B”
moving towards reference point
Button “F”
moving away from reference point
Save the coordinates of the selected axis by pressing:
Button “E”
the coordinate is saved to the EEPROM and is immediately effective
Quit the window to return to previous window by pressing:
Button
“C”
Repeat these steps for each subsequent sample as required.
Once the XY coordinates of all samples have been set, or if you are finished making changes, continue
pressing
button “2”
until the display shows the window for setting the zero levels (Fehler! Verweisquelle k
