7. Times and Cycles
Some time functions for the process
control have been introduced. All
associated functions are combined in the
menu ´
Times-Cycles
´ and can also be
programmed there.
7.1 Time and Date
The ALMEMO
®
2590-9 is equipped with a real time clock with date function for
recording the measuring time. It has a lithium battery so the time and date are
maintained after a switch-off. By selecting the function (see 5.4) the time can
be programmed in the specified format in the first line on the left side and the
date on the right side (see 5.5).
Function ´Time and Date´:
12:34:56 01.05.00
Format of time and date (e.g. 1. May 2000)
hh:mm:ss dd.mm.yy
The year number can also be provided with 4 digits via interface (see 10.8 and
manual 6.10.13).
7.2 Print Cycle with Storage Activation and Output Format
In most cases the print cycle is used for cyclic storage and outputs of
measuring data. The storage activation, i.e. the recording of data in the
memory within the print cycle is automatically switched on after a reinitialisation
but it can also be switched off, if required.
Of course, it is not necessary that a peripheral device is connected
to the socket A1 if the print cycle is used, e.g. for storing data.
The
output format
(see manual 6.6.1) determines the print format
at measuring point scans and at the memory output. It is programmed by using
the function ´Output Format´. Apart from the standard format ´List´, with all
measured values given in a list, the output format ´Columns´ allows for a clear
and space-saving printout in columns. For this purpose, a printer will
automatically switch to the condensed character mode. Alarm lists during the
measuring cycle are not available for this format. The
format
´Table´ is
available to further process measuring data by means of spreadsheet
applications (see manual 6.1).
Function ´Print Cycle´
(format hh:mm:ss see 5.5):
