CONFIGURATION
Page 3-2 SmartTach Operating Manual
General Information
The SmartTach is a very flexible speed measurement system. To provide
compatibility with practically all types of speed measurement, a wide
variety of programmable parameters are incorporated into the unit. The
configuration parameters effectively "customize" the unit to each specific
application.
Configuration parameters set options such as input signal type,
measurement type, and display options. The SmartTach will remember
the parameter settings indefinitely until they are changed again.
SmartTach can also save settings for later recall in any of six user memory
locations. Therefore there is no need to re-configure the unit each time it
is operated.
There are two general methods by which the SmartTach can be
configured. Either method provides full access to all configuration
parameters. The first method is using the built-in display and pushbuttons.
This allows fast changes, especially when only one parameter needs to be
modified, although requires knowledge of the parameter code numbers.
A more straightforward method is using an MS-DOS based Personal
Computer and the supplied SmartTach Interface Software. This method
provides a description of the parameters as well as their codes and values
on the computer screen. While this method is easier, it also requires
connecting a computer each time any parameters need to be changed.
This can be inconvenient at times, especially when only one parameter
needs to be changed or the SmartTach is used in a vehicle.
This manual describes the configuration process when using the built-in
display and pushbuttons. The SmartTach Interface Software is described
in a manual addendum included with the software package.
Operating Modes
Measure
This operating mode instructs the SmartTach to operate in its normal mode
of measuring speed. This mode displays the current measured speed on
the front panel LED display. The current configuration parameter settings
retained in memory are used for all functions. This is always the default
mode after power is applied to the unit.
