Software Programming
The EverWatch monitor is a quick and easy to program. There are two menus that
contain all the items that can be changed. The configuration menu changes items that
enhance the monit
or’s performance (i.e., alarm values, display averaging, etc.). The
calibration menu has the menu items needed to properly calibrate the EverWatch
monitor. Regardless of the menu item you want to change, the procedure, described
below, is the same.
This section covers programming the instrument through the keypad and display. If
programming through RS-
485 communications, use the host computer’s procedure. The
changes take place immediately upon saving data in the instrument.
Keystroke Procedure
There are three keys that are used to program the instrument:
The
NORMAL
key is used to enter menus, menu items, and to exit menu items.
The
▲/▼ keys are used to scroll through menu, change the values of menu items.
Depending on the item type the values may be numerical or a specific property (on / off).
The step-by-step procedure given below is graphically shown in Figure 2. The procedure
to change a menu item value is the same regardless of the menu or menu item.
1. Press the
NORMAL
key to access the main menu. CAL should be indicated
on the display. If CONF menu is required, press the
▼ arrow key once.
CONF should be indicated on the display.
2. Press the NORMAL key when the correct menu is displayed. The first menu
item should now be displayed.
Note
:
If “COdE” is flashing, an access code must be keyed into the unit
before access will be allowed. The access codes are printed on the
last page of the manual.
3. Press the
▲/▼ keys until menu item desired is displayed.
4. Press the
NORMAL
key to select the menu item. The current value will be
displayed.
5. Use the
▲/▼ keys to change item value.
6. Press the
NORMAL
key to save the value and to exit to the menu.
Note
: The monitor will flash SAVE and beep which indicates data has been

7. Press the
▼ key until End is displayed.
8. Press the
▼ key once to exit the menu, or press the
