>setchanpolynomial(1,0.0,1.23)

Set the scaling polynomial

for data channel 1 to

C=0.0, X1=1.23

As with other prompts, if the logger detects no user activity for 60 seconds,

then the command line interface terminates and control returns to the menu

interface, top level.

2.6

Display

The Sensus Logger supports a

2-line by 20-character LCD

module, 4 keys and a buzzer.

The display provides

information about the internal

status of several of the key

functions of the logger, these

include date/time, active channels

and logging summary.

2.6.1 Sleep Mode

The LCD will always show

something, unless the logging

period has been set to one minute

or more, whereupon an internal

power-save function comes into effect and the LCD becomes blank,

switching on again only as data is logged.

Should the LCD be blank, it can be reactivated immediately (without

having to wait for a log cycle) by pressing any one of the front panel keys.

2.6.2 LCD and Keys

The LCD incorporates a back light that is lit for a few seconds on every key

press.

Keys 1 and 4, (the two end keys, see Figure 2) are used to scroll

between the available status screens. This is indicated by the up and down

arrows depicted on the LCD above the corresponding keys. Where further

information is available for viewing, left and right arrows will be added above

keys 2 and 3. Use these keys to display any additional information for the

option. At any time key 1 or key 4 can be used to move to the next/previous

status screen.

Should a selection become necessary, the annotation for key 2 will

change to “N” (indicating No) and for key 3 to “Y” (indicating Yes). Figure 3

shows the Sensus menu structure.

2.6.3 Buzzer

The buzzer gives the user an audible indication that a key press has been

recognised. In addition, the buzzer can be assigned to one or more of the

alarm channels, to give an audible indication when the alarm becomes active.
