Section 4.2 Main Tonnage Monitor Screen
The TONNAGE MONITOR softkey in the Main Menu provides access to the tonnage monitor module
installed to operate with either two or four channels. This screen shows the maximum forward tonnages
recorded during the last stroke, the description and status of each channel, the overall status of the
tonnage monitor module, and limits that apply to the current view. Peak forward tonnage, peak reverse
tonnage, and data window forward tonnages can be selected for viewing. Figure 4.2 is an example of a
peak forward tonnage view, Figure 4.3 shows a data window forward tonnage view, and Figure 4.4
shows a peak reverse tonnage view. Two channel screens look much the same but have no channel three
or channel four information. There are several softkeys on the main tonnage monitor screen that come
into play at various times. The softkeys and other functions of this screen are discussed in the following
sections. In the following screens, softkeys that are shaded may not always be present and may say
different things depending on the circumstances.
Referring to Figure 4.2, the various parts of this screen are:
a) Module Status - The overall status of the tonnage monitor.
b) Channel Status - Each channel also has a status that indicates any alarms conditions
