Controller Program to enter the cylinder information, then the cylinder icon will always
be grey. The table below lists all of the possible colors for the cylinder logo and
describes their meaning.
Table 4: Cylinder Logo Colors
The ten squares along the bottom of the Function Tab are the Station/Instrument
Indicators. They represent up to ten SDM-6000s and GX-6000s in an SDM-6000
system from left to right. In a single SDM-6000 system only the leftmost indicator is
functional. In a multi-station system, the leftmost indicator represents the master
station and the rest of the indicators represent additional stations in the system.
Colors and icons are used with the indicators to convey SDM-6000 and GX-6000
status and test and calibration results
If an indicator color is light grey, the same color as the background of the Function
Tab, there is not an SDM-6000 installed in the system for that position. If an indicator
color is white with no icon, an SDM-6000 is installed in that position and the
corresponding SDM-6000 has no instrument connected to it. If an indicator is a color
other than light grey and an icon appears in it, then the corresponding SDM-6000 has
an instrument installed and connected to it.
