5.3 Reviewing instrument configuration

To review if the analyzer is set up as expected, choose the Configuration, Configuration view
command.

You may change a number of these settings using the WinLog97 program. The modifiable
settings, and information relating to these settings are listed in the next section,

Configuring the

instrument

.

However, should you see any unexpected items listed on your screen which you are unable to
correct, please contact your Hach Lange representative.

5.4 Configuring the instrument

The 3650Ex analyzer can be readily configured for your application using the following
commands in the Configuration menu. The instrument must be connected to your PC in order
to change its configuration.

5.4.1 Automatic data acquisition - Setting sampling intervals

The instrument can perform as a standalone data acquisition device, automatically recording
gas measurements with the date and time, and storing up to 500 of these values. Choosing the
WinLog97 program's Configuration, Sampling Rate menu lets you select time intervals
(acquisition rate) for this storage capability.

Note:

The Acquisition rate set via this menu is independent from the monitoring chart updating rate

described in

Monitoring measurements in real-time on page 32

. The sampling rate menu applies only to

automatic data acquisition, while the chart updating rate is used only for displaying real-time results via the
monitoring chart.

Use the slide bar to view and select a sampling rate, from 15
seconds to 1 hour. The selected rate is shown in the
Acquisition rate

window. Click OK to save this rate.

Once your choice is made, the instrument can be used
independently of the WinLog97 program for data acquisition,
as described in

Automatic data acquisition on page 28

.
