RKI Instruments SDM-2009 PC Controlled Configuration - Manual (Page 103)

Instrument Function Menu • 98
• User ID: To change the user ID, place the cursor in the User ID field and enter
the desired user ID.
• Cal Interval (Day): The calibration interval is the length of time between
scheduled calibrations. To change the calibration interval, use the arrows to the
right of the current value to increase or decrease the interval. You may also
highlight the current setting and type in the new desired setting. It can be set
anywhere between 1 and 365 days. The factory setting is 90 days.
• Interval Time (Sec): The interval time is how often the instrument will log interval
trend readings. It can be set to 5, 10, 20, 30 (factory setting), 60, 180, 300, or
600 seconds. To change the interval time, use the arrows to the right of the
current value to increase or decrease it. You may also highlight the current
setting and type in the new desired setting. The value that you type in must
match the allowable interval settings. If it does not, when you save your
changes, your entered value will be shifted to the closest match. For example, if
you enter 90 seconds, when you save the changes, the interval will adjust itself
to 60 seconds.
Memo Section
The Memo section of the Parameter Tab allows the user to enter remarks for an
instrument that is connected to the program. The Memo may be used to document
anything of interest, such as maintenance records (noting when a sensor was
changed). The Memo section is empty until the user enters information. The first time
information is entered, a Memo file is created in the Logs window. If the Memo is
changed in the same operating session, that Memo file is updated. When the
instrument is disconnected from the PC Controller Program and connected again, a
new Memo file is created with the current memo. If you edit the memo field in that
operating session, the new Memo file is updated. If you clear the Memo field for an
instrument, the Memo file that was created when the instrument was connected to the
PC Controller Program will be deleted since it is now empty. All memos from previous
operating sessions will always be available in the Logs window. They cannot be
deleted.
To enter information into the Memo section,
1. Place the cursor in the Memo field. If a memo has been previously entered, it
will still appear in the Memo field.
2. If necessary, delete the old memo. Enter the information you wish to
document.
3. Click the OK button in the lower right corner of the window. A confirmation
screen will appear asking if you would like to save the changes you have
made. To save the changes and return to the main program window, click Yes.
To return to the main program window without saving your changes, click No.
To return to the Parameter tab and update your changes, click Cancel.
To return to the main program window without saving any changes, click
Cancel in the lower right corner of the window.
