3.4.6 Reset Function
A parameter labeled “Reset Parameter” is located at the end
of the DEVICE SETUP/ADVANCED CONFIG menu.
In the event a user gets confused during configuration or
advanced troubleshooting, this parameter gives the user the
ability to reset the Model 700 transmitter configuration.
Unique to the Model 700 transmitter is the ability for
MAGNETROL to fully “pre-configure” devices to customer
requests. For that reason, the Reset function will return the
device back to the state
at which it left the factory
.
It is recommended that MAGNETROL Technical Support
be contacted before performing a reset as the Advanced
User password will be required for this reset.
3.4.7 Additional Diagnostic/Troubleshooting Capabilities
3.4.7.1 Event History
As a means for improved troubleshooting capability, a
record of significant diagnostic events is stored with time
and date stamps. A real time on board clock (which must be
set by the operator), will maintain the current time.
3.4.7.2 Context-sensitive Help
Descriptive information relevant to the highlighted parameter
in the menu will be accessible via the local display and
remote host interfaces. This will most often be a parameter-
related screen, but could also be information about menus,
actions (for example, Loop [Analog Output] Test, resets of
various types), diagnostic indicators, etc.
For example: Dielectric Range — Selects the range bounding
the dielectric constant of the medium in vessel. For interface
measurement mode, it selects the range bounding the
dielectric constant of the lower liquid medium. Some ranges
may not be selectable depending on the probe model.
3.4.7.3 Trend Data
The Model 700 has the ability to log several measured val-
ues (selectable from any of the primary, secondary, or sup-
plemental measured values) at a configurable rate (for exam-
ple, once every five minutes) for a period ranging from sev-
eral hours to a number of days (depending on the config-
ured sample rate and number of values to be recorded). The
data will be stored in non-volatile memory in the transmit-
ter with date and time information for subsequent retrieval
and visualization using the associated Model 700 DTM.
