l Analysis Data Accumulation and Graph Creation
The results of analyses at the analyzer are gathered on an analysis history sheet. One history
sheet can hold the peak names of up to 255 analyses and analysis time data of 250 analyses.
The analysis history sheet can be saved, retrieved or graphed. In addition, the sheet can be
retrieved as a file format in Microsoft Excel™ for further advanced data processing.
l Data Acquisition for Maintenance
Personal computers and Windows™ have been designed with the assumption that they will
be used in a general office environment. Therefore, the Maintenance Terminal is aimed for use
on a daily basis in maintaining the analyzer. For continuous monitoring over a long period, it is
recommended that the process instruments be used for analog output, DCS communication and
as an analyzer bus server.
1.2 Maintenance Terminal Group in Program
Manager
In this section, you will learn about the types of software composing the Maintenance Terminal
group and the windows configuring the Maintenance Terminal.
n Software Configuration
The Maintenance Terminal is composed of the following five types of software:
Software Function
LCD emulator (LCD) This software functions independent of the Maintenance Terminal. It can
emulate (i.e., work in the same way as) the analyzer LCD panel, allowing the
operator to control the analyzer panel from a personal computer.
Maintenance
Terminal (GCMT)
The main section of the Maintenance Terminal software package. It bases most
of its functions on the Analyzer Operation window which allows you to view the
analyzer status and operate the analyzer.
Analysis result panel
(GCANA)
This panel stores the results of analysis. It is started automatically when the
Maintenance Terminal is activated.
CAPTURE IT!
(CAPTIT)
This is a tool used to make hard copies. For more details, see the manual for
CAPTURE IT!.
GC communication
control (GCCOMM)
The software used to carry out communication between the analyzer and
GCMT. This software starts up as an icon when LCD and GCMT are started.
The program runs in the background and is always invisible to users.
n Maintenance Terminal Window Layout
The Maintenance Terminal is composed of the following four windows:
Window Function
Analyzer Operation The basic Maintenance Terminal window. This displays the analyzer’s latest
status and can be used to perform various operations.
Chromatogram Displays chromatograms in detail.
Alarm Displays alarm statuses in the analyzer.
Analysis Results This sheet automatically starts up when the Maintenance Terminal is started.
It displays the latest analysis results.
