SECTION 8 CHANGING PRESET LIMITS
8.1 GENERAL
The MPS49 allows the pre-programmed maximum parameter values for all functions to be
changed. Limiting values can be changed from the Limits Menu (FIG 9).
The Limits Menu is accessible from the Main Menu, that can be opened by pressing the
keys
SHIFT
+ 3.
NOTE
The Limits Menu only displays the limits of the currently controlled units
(aeronautical or pressures).
CAUTION
Limits are pre-set at the factory to handle most standard test conditions and
to protect most aircraft instrumentation. The operator should exercise
extreme caution in setting limits outside normal default values.
NOTE
Damage to the aircraft or to unit under test could occur, if caution is not observed.
Limiting values can be changed for the duration of one power-on cycle, or stored
permanently, in order to be recalled in the future. The MPS49 allows to store different sets
of limiting values. The operator should consider carefully which requirement best suites the
needs of all test set users and units under test.
The lower-left corner of the display shows the name of the limiting values, when applicable.
Refer to the next chapter for more information.
Changes to the values inside the Limits Menu are immediately active. All future operations
will automatically utilize the new limits until power is turned off, or the limits are changed
again.
8.2 LOADING AND SAVING LIMITING VALUES
The MPS49 stores the limiting values and the choice of measure units inside test profiles.
When the equipment is powered up, it loads the limiting values and units from the profile
named “
Default
”.
Touch the green button Load or press the keys
SHIFT
+ 9 to load and apply the limiting
values that were previously saved inside a test profile. The display will show a list of the
available profiles.
Touch the yellow button Save or press the keys
SHIFT
+ 8 to save the current limiting
values. The Operator must indicate an existing profile or an empty memory location.
NOTE
measure units are loaded and saved together with limiting values.
NOTE
in order to change the power-on values, the Operator must overwrite the profile
named “
Default
”.
Limiting values are also loaded when a profile is selected for execution, as described in
chapter 11.3.
When a set of limiting values is applied, the profile name is displayed in the lower-left
corner of the Limits Menu. As soon as any value is modified, the name disappears, to
indicate that the values may differ from the profile.
