Using the dataPAC Setup Program

If Auto Advance is checked when you check Display TWF, Auto Advance will be
automatically disabled. The two selections are incompatible because one tells the dataPAC
to automatically go on to the next point, while the other tells it to stop and display the TWF.
Speed Check
The Speed Check option causes the dataPAC to determine if the machine speed at each
point is within an acceptable range as specified by the host computer, manual entry, or
measured speed. If the speed is outside the range, a warning message appears, and you may
either skip or collect this point. The determination of machine speed may be based on the
host computer, manual entry, or measured speed.
If this option is not selected, the instrument will not check the machine speed. This means
that data will be collected even when the machine speed is out of range.
Transducer Check
The Transducer Check option causes the dataPAC to check for a short or open circuit prior
to collecting data for a point. If a fault is detected, a warning message appears and you are
prompted to choose whether or not to continue.
If Transducer Check is disabled, the dataPAC still tests the transducer for faults when it is
installed. If the transducer passes the test, the dataPAC does not repeat the test each time a
measurement is initiated. However, if the transducer fails the test at installation and you
choose to continue, the dataPAC repeats the test each time a measurement is initiated until
the transducer passes the test. Repeated failures are reported so you can choose whether or
not to continue.
Overall Time Span in Seconds
This option specifies the time span in the overall window of data collection. Changing this
value changes the amount of time for which data is displayed as it trends across the window
during data collection. The value is in seconds.
Highlight this option, and then press <SELECT> to open a pop-up window that displays the
choices: 5 (the default), 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, or 1000 seconds. Highlight your choice,
and then press <SELECT>.
Current Value Average Period (Seconds)
This option allows you to specify the number of seconds to average the data before
displaying and storing the overall value in the database. Highlight this option, and then press
<SELECT> to open a pop-up menu of choices. The setting choices depend on the value
selected for Overall Time Span. Highlight your choice, and then press <SELECT>.
