7. Operation
7.1 General
This section describes the procedures for operating the CPC8000-H from the front panel. Instructions
for operating the instrument from an external computer are covered in section 8. Remote Operation.
By following the procedures provided in these two Sections, you can expect your CPC8000-H to
deliver maximum accuracy and dependability for many years of exceptional service.
When the instrument is powered on it will take about 30 seconds to boot up. At the end of the boot
process the display screen similar to
Figure 7-1 Main screen separation
will appear. This is the main
operating screen. At this point the CPC8000-H is ready for operation. However, for critical tests and
measurements allow the unit to warm up for at least 25 minutes with power on to ensure rated
accuracy.
Notice that the portion of the screen with a blue field covers about two-thirds of the total screen area.
This area contains the pressure output reading, the setpoint, the active transducer range, units of
measure, limits and a choice between the control modes: Measure, Control or Vent.
The sidebar to the right (black field) is used for entering data, adjusting environmental settings,
defining parameters for remote operations, and making choices in the configuration. Several different
sidebars can be accessed from the main screen to achieve different objectives.
This section of the manual will explain features of this main operating screen and the associated
sidebars.
Figure 7-1 Main screen separation
Beyond the main screen are a series of setup screens used to adjust parameters and conditions, such
as performing calibrations, running programmed routines, operating from a remote computer, etc. All
such setup screens are on black backgrounds, and have their own sidebars (also black) for choice
menus and data entry. Explanations and instructions for using these setup screens are covered in
Section 7.3 Setup.
7.1.1 Buttons, Keys, Tabs, and other terms
Many of the words and symbols displayed on screen are active touch points, such that when touched
or pressed something will change if it is an allowable action. In this manual these touch sensitive
points are shown inside brackets such as [Setpoint], the button seen in the upper middle corner of the
main screen (see Figure 7-2 Main screen items). Tabs are radio buttons shown along the bottom of
