5.5.3.3 Trace Width
The pen trace widths can be changed from 1 to 7 pixels wide. This value changes all pens displayed. Use
the UP (
↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to highlight “Trace Width” and press ENTER. Use the UP (↑) or DOWN
( ↓) Arrow Keys to select a width value (in pixels) and press ENTER. At any time you may press EXIT to
leave the Pens Assign menu and return to the Pens Assign menu prompt.
5.5.4 Direction
Direction determines whether the traces on the Trend View move in a vertical or horizontal direction. The
direction may be changed at any time without affecting the recording or the browse buffer.
To change the direction of the chart from the Chart/Pens menu, use the UP (
↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to
highlight “Direction” and press ENTER. Then use the UP ( ↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to highlight either
“vertical” or “horizontal” and press ENTER. The chart will change direction immediately, clearing the screen and
beginning a new trace. Press EXIT four times to return to the Viewing Button Bar.
5.6 Points
This Programming menu item allows the user to program parameters directly affecting Points. The Points are the
actual Channels in the recorder and may be direct inputs, conditioned direct inputs (scaled or adjusted),
computational channels or external (serial) inputs for a total of 12. The menu options are as follows:
Program point
Point #
Setup point #
Copy point #
Restore point #
Modify point #
Delete point #
Setup, Copy, Restore, and Modify all lead to the Point Type menu as follows:
Linear type
Industrial square root type
Log linear type
Thermocouple type
RTD type
Calculated type
Conditional type
External type
Additional menus and menu items are contained under each Point Type menu item.
5.6.1 Constants
This menu item is available through the Program Menu - Points, and allows the user to program up to fifteen
different constants for use in equations for point programming. These constants, referred to as Kx (where x =
1 to 9, A to F), are substituted into equations instead of writing the constant value. This simplifies programming
an equation.
Programming Constants - From the Program menu use the UP ( ↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to highlight
“Points” and press ENTER. Then use the UP (
↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to highlight “Constants” and press
ENTER. A keypad with the constants 1 to 9 and A to F is displayed. Press the desired constant number and
press ENTER to set the Constant value.
