Cyclops L
8.1 Introduction
The
Cyclops
trigger operation can be set
to operate in three ways:
•
Classic/Route/Operator Emissivity
• Burst
(not
Cyclops 055L
)
• Latched
(not
Cyclops 055L
)
8.2 Classic/Route/Operator Emissivity
In ‘Classic’ ‘Route’ & ‘Operator Emissivity’ modes, trigger operation is the same.
In Classic Mode, all four measured processed time functions (Peak,
Instantaneous, Average [Meltmaster in
C055
] and Valley) are displayed on the
side LCD panel. In Route/Operator Emissivity modes, only the preselected time
function is displayed.
The highlighted/preselected temperature type is displayed in the viewfinder
When the trigger is pressed:
•
the displays are updated at 0.5 s intervals
•
temperature values are streamed serially, via Bluetooth and USB (See
Section 7.4.15 and Appendix A1)
When the trigger is released:
•
displays are frozen with the final value
•
streaming stops – a ‘hold’ code is sent (See Appendix A1)
•
and all four temperature types are stored internally (if recording is
enabled)
8.3 Burst
‘Burst’ operation can be used for monitoring rapid changes of temperature, or
recording a temperature profile, such as a long strip of material.
When the trigger is pressed, the instantaneous temperature is streamed at
the maximum collection rate (approximately 33 readings per second) via
Bluetooth
, or (if enabled) recorded to internal memory. This mode of operation
is denoted by the internal display ‘blinking’ in unison with the sounder ‘beeping’
(if switched on) at approximately 0.5 second intervals.
When the trigger is released, a 2-piece data packet is added to the readings,
giving the emissivity and window transmission factor values.
