Setting and labelling channel number
The "Averaging" and "Arithmetic" functional units and part of the result units can operate several
channels simultaneously. This is interesting for comparative measurements with several laboratory
instruments or several measuring variables of one laboratory instrument.
To ensure a clear assignment of the measured values for the result display, the activated channels
can be labelled individually. They are already assigned a standard label and are distinguished with
consecutive numbering.
To define the channels the parameter windows of the named functional units have the same entry
field, which is marked with arrow keys (action buttons).
The setting of the number of channels is divided into the following steps.
Displaying control and result windows
Control windows
Actual control takes place in special windows. Depending on the control unit (red) selected, various
control windows are provided for manual or automatic processes (see slide controller in illustration).
The sequences over time are displayed for automatic control via so-called ramp functions.
Result windows
After starting the measurement the results can be displayed in special windows. Depending on the
result unit (green) selected, various result windows are provided for the numerical and graphical
display or for result recording.
For clarity reasons the control and result windows are not initially visible, but are instead reduced to
symbols (icons) at the lower edge of the screen and can be displayed or concealed.
