Instrument modes.
In normal operation mode the G4 Instrument is presenting the measurement values on
the front panel graphical display. One or more Function Blocks can be shown
simultaneously. The user can configure the display via set-up parameters.
During parameter set-up the instrument will continue normal operation. However if
hardware set-up parameters have been changed the instrument will be restarted.
The operator will always be notified before the instrument is restarted.
Parameter setting.
In the instrument all operating functions are controlled by set-up parameters with
numerical values, string values, or pre-selected values from a list of alternatives.
Parameter set-up is performed by the keys at the front panel of the instrument and/or
by using the buttons displayed on the touch display.
Presentation.
The instrument can present measured or calculated values, status of levels, parameter
settings etc. at the front panel. An extensive system of menus gives the possibility to
present various information about the instrument.
Measured or calculated values, status of levels and so on, can be transferred to
external equipment via the different communication interfaces (some are optional).
Remote Access.
It is possible to access the instrument through the Ethernet connection. Using a Web
Browser on the connected PC most set-up and maintenance functions are available on
the PC. This possibility will simplify commissioning and service. It will make it possible
to access instruments from outside the local network (internet) providing the network
allow this.
