To observe the data transfer process from the
PC to the analyzer, select the “View” option and
then “Data Transfer”.
In this window the data transfer from PC to
analyzer (blue color) and answer from analyzer
(green color) sent back to PC can be observed.
Unit 1 get the order “D“ and “64“ is the
checksum. The answer from unit 1 follows and
“BC“ is the checksum. The parameters which
are set automatically by the configuration
program are “9600-8N1“ and cannot be
changed.
If you select “File – File protocol“, then all the
data transmission will be written into a file
named “..\Koehler\bin\COMMREP.TXT“. In case
of trouble with the communication, this file can
be analyzed. Please don’t forget to close the file
(“File – File protocol“). Please note: If
“Commgr.exe” is seen, then the data
communication to read a distillation run will be
reduced. It is possible that distilled volume is
different than seen on the result window of
“distcntl.exe”. Use “commgr.exe” only for service
and close it as soon as possible.
To observe the status of an analyzer from the
PC, select the “View” option and then “Unit
Data”.

(1)
.
Select a connected analyzer
to see all the important values of this
analyzer.
Analog
(2)
.
Temperature shown in °C of the
flask, condenser tube, cooling device and
receiver compartment can be seen. If the
automatic dry point kit is installed and a
thermocouple is connected, then the two
temperatures, FeCo and compensation, can
be observed.
Digital/IO
(3)
.
The LED’s show the status of
all internal components. If an LED is “on“,
then the component is running. If you left
click with the mouse on one of these
components, then you can switch it on or off
for a short moment to check it. A login
request screen will appear to change these
parameters. You will remain “logged in” until
the software program is closed.
Status

In the upper section the internal
information of the analyzer is shown and the
lower section shows information during a
distillation run.
Adjust / Adjust Enable

.
All calibration
values are shown here. To change the
calibration values, click on the “adjust
enable” button
(6)
. To perform an auto
calibration on all temperature readings, click
on “Run Adjustment” and follow the
instructions in the pop-up boxes. In order to
perform the calibration, you will need a Pt–
100 simulator.
