Use CH1 or CH2 to specify to which channel the following temperature compensation
related GPIB commands apply:
TCON
Turn on temperature compensation if available. If not, ignore.
TCOFF
Turn off temperature compensation. This is a volatile setting if
compensation
is
available.
1.2 Sensor Auto-calibration File Retention
Sensor auto-calibration files are now saved by channel as .AC1 and .AC2 files in non-
volatile (flash) memory. This avoids the need to perform auto-cal every time a sensor is
removed and replaced by a different one, provided the sensors are known to the
channel(s) involved. When a sensor is plugged-in a search is made to find an existing
auto-cal file. If one is found, it is installed. If not, the “Needs Auto-cal” message will
appear. When auto-cal is performed the existing file is overwritten with the new result. If
no previous file exists, one is created. Sensor filenames have the form SEN#####.AC n,
where ##### is the serial number and n is the channel number.
The file directory system is expanded to display auto-calibration files in flash memory as
well as the previous files on the floppy disk. The
Utility>Disk>Flash Disk
path lists
sensor auto-cal files by channel. The
Select File <>
menu contains a sequence number
which refers to the position of the file in the list. The selected file is shown in RED and
may be deleted by pressing the menu button next to the “Delete” box. Deletion of files
must be confirmed or cancelled.
There are no GPIB operations on the file directory.
1.3 Color *.bmp File of Display
The Hardcopy section now includes a color *.bmp file of the current display that can be
saved to the floppy disk, sent to the COM1 port or the GPIB. To select this feature set the
Util>Hardcopy>Device
menu to “Plotter”. Then select
Util>Hardcopy>Model
“.BMP”.
Choose the
Plot Label
,
Output Port
and
File Select
number if the output is the floppy
disk.
