Setting Up the PC Controller Program • 34
If Auto Bump Test is selected, and an instrument is due for bump testing, a
bump test will automatically begin 1 minute after that instrument
successfully connects to the program and its instrument parameters are
retrieved by the program. When you select Auto Bump Test, a window pops
up indicating that only sensors tested with GAS 1 and one sensor tested
with GAS 2 will be bump tested in auto bump test.
Only instruments with one or more of the standard 4 sensors and one
special sensor can be fully bump tested using Auto Bump Test. If you have
an instrument with more than 1 special sensor, only the standard 4 sensors
will be bump tested in auto bump test. You must perform a manual bump
test in order to perform a complete bump test.
If neither box is selected, you will not be able to perform a bump test. The
factory setting is Manual Bump Test selected and Auto Bump Test
deselected. Select the box for the desired operation.
The Auto Bump Test selection also has a Standard GAS and an All GAS
selection. If Standard GAS is selected, only the standard 4 sensors will be
bump tested during an automatic bump test. If All GAS is selected, all
installed sensors will be bump tested during an automatic bump test if the
instrument has only 1 special sensor. If the instrument has more than one
special sensor, only the standard 4 sensors will be bump tested.
• Interval
The Interval can be set anywhere between 1 and 30 days and is the length
of time that can pass before the program will prompt you to perform a bump
test. The factory setting is 30 days.
Use the arrows to the right of the current interval or highlight the current
setting and type in the desired value. The value you type in must be valid
(between 1 and 30).
• Gas Exposure Time
The Gas Exposure Time can be set to 30 (factory setting), 45, 60, 90, 120
seconds or Auto and is the length of time that gas is applied to the EAGLE
2. If you select Auto, the PC Controller program will apply gas for the
appropriate amount of time based on your EAGLE 2 sensor configurations.
To change the Gas Exposure Time, click on the current setting. A drop
down menu will appear. Select the desired time.
