DESCRIPTION
The instrument is the first circular chart recorder with the ability to record trend data and print alphanumeric annotation in four
colors. It uses unique "rings only" charts and has the ability to zone and scale trend data. These capabilities not only provide
the best trend data readability, but also instant association with the corresponding scales. Whether it's a basic application of
recording inputs, to a demanding application requiring derived variables, logic functions, totalization, or other capabilities, the
instrument can be supplied with the necessary level of sophistication, while maintaining an uncomplicated operator interface.
MODELS
The instrument is available in versions for trend recording of one to four values. The number of colors can equal the number of
trended values, or all four colors can be provided. The latter option provides the greatest color flexibility and makes it easier to
add trend capability to the instrument in the field. The instrument can have up to eight inputs, and inputs are not directly
associated with trend pens. The instrument can trend any combination of inputs, averages, derived variables, logic states, even
totals. A full compliment of options provides the flexibility to handle virtually any type of application.

CONFIGURATION
A multilevel prompting scheme provides rapid access to all configuration data. By model number and selective enabling, the
software displays only those configuration sections needed. The 40 character, vacuum fluorescent display provides true English
language prompts. The 15 key keypad makes moving through the prompts and modifying the parameters intuitive. Multiple
choice selections and use of "quick select keys" simplifies the programming of many parameters. Copy functions make
configuring similar sets of parameters even faster. Two methods of modifying character strings simplifies the entry of English
tags and units. The instrument even displays the proper jumper placement for the installer. The instrument can virtually be
configured without looking at the manual.
