IC/5 Operating Manual
3.6.7 Test Mode
This instrument contains a software-controlled test mode which simulates actual
operation. Optionally, time can be compressed so that a long process can be
simulated in one tenth of the time. The purpose of the test mode is to verify basic
operation and to demonstrate typical operation. The rate display during test mode
operation is:
[1]
Crystal fails are ignored in test mode. Crystal switching is disabled. All other relays
and inputs operate normally.
3.6.8 Floppy Disk (Optional)
The floppy disk drive is an optional accessory for the IC/5. This option allows
storage of all parameter information, as well as automatic datalogging information,
to the 3.5 inch 1.44 MByte floppy diskette. The maximum number of files which may
be stored onto the floppy disk is 224 for a 1.44 MByte diskette and 112 files when
using a 720 KByte diskette. The maximum number of files includes parameter files
as well as datalogging files. Diskettes must be pre-formatted.
The parameter set may be stored under a new or existing filename and retrieved
from an existing file. A file containing the IC/5 parameter set is referred to as a
configuration file. Datalog information will be saved to the diskette only if the
datalog output is turned on and the output path is chosen as the floppy drive (as
opposed to choosing output to the RS-232C port). Selection of the output path is
done in the remote communications parameters display. (See
section 7.2 on page
7-2 .)
Multiple files may be contained on one diskette. Filenames may be eight characters
long; extensions are used to differentiate between configuration files and
datalogging files. All files must be contained on the root directory. Storage/retrieval
from sub-directories is not allowed.
The instrument supports the writing of filenames using alphanumeric characters
selected using the cursor keys. Characters A through Z and numbers 0 through 9
inclusive are available. The instrument has the ability to display the files contained
on the diskette. A scrolling feature is enabled to view those filenames which cannot
fit on the screen. Error messages include: Disk Full; File Not Found; Disk Write
Protected; Media Error; Disk not Found; File is Read Only. See
section 6.8 on page
6-19 for details on floppy disk operation.
Datalog files are automatically named using the process number and run number.
See
section 3.6.10 on page 3-40 for the Datalog string details.
