Operation of the Software PVPM.disp
Page 29
11.3.7.1 Serial Port
You can select the serial USB port (COMn:) used for PVPM communications from the combo box.
If the application can read the list of existing serial interfaces from
the Windows registry, the identifiers of the interfaces defined there
are represented in the combo box - together with the reference
whether this interface is available or not. In the latter case this
interface is already occupied by another application. If the registry
cannot be read (insufficient user rights), the application will only
display simple interface identifiers like „COMx“. A selection of the
interface is possible anyway. If you do not know, to which interface
the PVPM is attached, you can use the button „look for“: that allows
the application to automatically try all available interfaces in order to
establish the communication with the PVPM. The PVPM must be
attached to the PC and set to „transfer“. If the application receives a
valid answer from a PVPM, the search stops and the detected
interface is used now for communication with the PVPM.
11.3.7.2 Working directory
The working directory is used in file open and file save dialogs and for the automatically saving of files. Select
here the directory which contains your measured data or to which the measured data should be saved to. This
listing is used also during the automatic data storage (data transfer of PVPM or continuous measurement) The
entry field has a button at its right side. Press this button to display a directory selection dialog.
11.3.7.3 Dialogue language
PVPM.disp supports the dialog languages English and German. The language can be changed during program
execution. Just select your desired language from the combo box “dialog language”. After you close the dialog
box the labels of PVPM.disp will be displayed in the selected language. PVPM.disp will remember the language
setting.
Please note, that the standard and system dialogs will always be displayed in the language of the current
windows version!
11.3.7.4 Temperature correction
Sometimes it may be useful to add a correction factor to the measured temperature values. In this case you can
enter the factor here. The factor will be added to the measured temperatures: enter a negative value, if you want
to decrease the temperature. If the factor is not zero the displayed temperatures will be displayed like “xx.x°C
korr.” to remember you, that this value is not the measured one. The altered value will not be stored.
