RKI Instruments Data Cal 2000 - Manual (Page 31)

Overview of the Data Cal 2000 Software • 26
Docking Module/Instrument Display Area
The large middle portion of the main window displays docking modules
and instruments that are currently connected to the Data Cal 2000 and
instruments that are in the database. The docking modules are identified
by a number that corresponds to the ID switch setting on the back of the
docking module. The instruments are identified by their serial number. By
selecting either the Icon selection circle or the Details selection circle, the
modules and instruments can be displayed either as icons or in a table
format that shows various instrument parameter details such as station
ID, user ID, the next scheduled bump test date, and the next scheduled
calibration date among others. If the Only Connected Units box is
checked, then only instruments that are currently connected to the Data
Cal 2000 will be shown.
Software Status
Three areas of the main window indicate the software status. The smaller
area in the lower left below the docking module/instrument display area is
the message window. It displays messages that indicate actions and
status of the software.
Below this area, the communications port that is being used by the
software is shown in the lower left corner. A round communication
indicator is located above the communications port name.
To the right of the communications port indicator is the status field. It
displays the current status of the software. It can indicate that the
software is in standby mode or if it is downloading among other
indications.
Solenoid Indicators
To the right of the status field are 6 round solenoid indicators. They
correspond to the fittings on the back of the docking station. They
indicate whether the corresponding solenoid is activated so it can allow
gas to flow through the fitting it controls and also if the cylinder connected
to it has expired. See “Adding and Updating Cylinders” on page 33 for an
explanation of how to view and define a cylinder expiration date. The
color of the indicator defines the status as follows:
• Green indicates that the solenoid is activated and will allow gas to
flow through the corresponding fitting.
• Yellow indicates that the solenoid is not activated.
