Guide To Operation
A new trigger level may now be entered using the
numeric keys. For example, to set the level to
-0.125
, press [-] [1] [2] [5] [EXP] [-] [3] or [-] [.] [1]
[2] [5] or any combination of keys which evaluates
to the correct value. Note that entry is done in
units of Volts. The entry field will display the char-
acters as the keys are pressed. If an error is
made, the backspace [<-] key will erase the last
character and [CLR] will restore the field to the
original value. When the entry string is correct,
press the [ENTER] key to change the trigger level
to the new value. If another soft key is used to
highlight a different parameter field or to toggle a
setting, or the [CURSOR] key is pressed to high-
light the cursor field, or a new menu key is
pressed, before [ENTER] is pressed, the displayed
entry will be cleared and the original value re-
stored.
Whenever a parameter entry field is highlighted,
the knob may also be used to adjust the value. If
the knob is turned during numeric entry before the
[ENTER] key has been pressed, the value will be
adjusted starting from the original value.
CURSOR
Pressing the [CURSOR] key highlights the cursor
information field by drawing a box around it. The
knob will now scroll the cursor region. The [CUR-
SOR] key highlights the cursor field in the same
way that a soft key would highlight a parameter
field. The highlighted cursor field appears below.
Any previously highlighted parameter field will be-
come non-highlighted and any entry in progress is
cancelled. Pressing a soft key to highlight a pa-
rameter field will let the knob adjust the new pa-
rameter while the cursor will become de-selected.
AUTOSCALE
Pressing [AUTOSCALE] will automatically set the
vertical scale and translation to display the entire
range of the data. The graph will also be translat-
quisition and pressing [STOP] will reset the unit to
the CLEAR state.
Pressing [STOP] while in the PAUSE or DONE
states will reset the unit to the CLEAR condition.
All data accumulated will be lost and reset to zero.
In general, pressing the [STOP] key twice in suc-
cession will put the unit in the CLEAR condition.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Data which is cleared can-
not be recovered! Be sure to save valuable
data to the disk to avoid accidentally erasing it.
MENU KEYS
All operating parameters of the SR430 are
grouped into ten function menus. The ten menu
keys select which menu of parameters is dis-
played next to the six soft keys. The soft keys then
either toggle a parameter, highlight a parameter
entry field (for numeric entry or knob adjustment),
or display a submenu.
The [LEVELS] menu displays the trigger, discrimi-
nator, and auxiliary D/A levels. The [MODE] menu
displays the bin width, bins per record, records per
scan, accumulation mode, and trigger offset. The
[DISPLAY] menu shows graph translation and
zoom and the cursor modes. The [SETUP] menu
configures the computer interfaces, sound, real
time clock, plotter, and printer. The [SAVE] and
[RECALL] menus are the disk menus. Data, set-
tings ([LEVELS] and [MODE]), and system setups
may be saved and recalled from disk. The [MATH]
menu analyzes and manipulates data. Smoothing,
curve fitting, statistical analysis, and calculations
may be performed on the data. The [PLOT] menu
is used to plot the data graph on a plotter. The
[TEST] menu allows the user to test the keypad,
external keyboard, knob, RS232 interface, printer
interface, disk drive, video screen, and memory.
The [INFO] menu displays various information
screens.
Detailed descriptions of each menu are provided
in the next section.
ENTRY KEYS
The numeric entry keys are used to enter parame-
ter values directly. Parameters may be entered
only if their menu box is displayed and their entry
field is highlighted. For example, if the LEVELS
menus is displayed, the first soft key is next to the
Trigger Level box. Pressing the first soft key will
highlight the entry field displaying the trigger level.
The menu box will appear as illustrated below.
