RKI Instruments SDM-E2 - Manual (Page 146)

141 • Instrument Function Menu
Several parameters are always selectable and do not depend on which sub tab is
selected.
• Serial No.: To change the current instrument serial number, place the cursor in
the Serial No. field and enter the desired serial number. If you change the serial
number, once you upload the changes to the EAGLE 2 and return to the main
program window, the PC Controller Program will indicate that the EAGLE 2 with
the old serial number was disconnected. An EAGLE 2 with the new serial
number will then connect to the PC Controller Program.
• Station ID: To change the station ID, select the drop-down menu and select the
desired station ID. To change the station ID list, see “Station & User Tab” on
page 148.
• User ID: To change the user ID, select the drop-down menu and select the
desired station ID. To change the user ID list, see “Station & User Tab” on
page 148.
• 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 EAGLE 2 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
EAGLE 2 that is connected to the program. The Memo may be used to document
anything of interest, such as maintenance records (noting when a sensor or a battery
pack 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 EAGLE 2 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 EAGLE 2 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
