RESOURCES

3.1 Keypad and LCD Emulation



[View] [Keypad/LCD]

This option applies only when connected to a DS-4483 Datalogger. In emulating the keypad and display,
iLink is reading the virtual keypad and display information from the database locations in the device.



The emulated keypad and display operate in the same manner as the keypad and display on the
datalogger. The buttons can be clicked with the mouse to emulate the device keypad. They do not
respond to keyboard input.

3.2 View Device Databases



[View] [Databases etc]

Viewing the Device’s Databases is an engineering tool and should be used with caution.

Making changes to the database locations could seriously impact on the integrity
and/or functionality of the program loaded in the device.


The database locations d0-d99 are reserved for specific functions. These are summarised in the
appropriate device manual’s sections – Reserved Database Locations.

The use of other locations is specific to the device and application. Refer to the application program for
details of these.

There are two databases available for inspection as well as direct viewing of base level memory, and an
additional summary of the device status and error flags. Each of these is described separately.
