5.7.1 Temperature Compensation
This is the Ambient Temperature Compensation adjust and is used to compensate for
adverse environments when using thermocouples. This feature is entered from the
system
admin menu by pressing the icon shown right.
At the terminal blocks where the thermocouples connect to the recorder there is a new thermocouple junction
introduced which can affect the reading. There is a sensor there measuring the ambient temperature at the
terminals and is used to compensate for any offset that may result. In certain circumstances the ambient
temperature may not be able to adequately compensate for external temperatures resulting in an error in the
readings.
Selecting this option from the menu will pop up the Ambient Temp
Compensation box shown right. This box can be moved by tapping and
holding the blue bar while dragging the window. The user can view the
live thermocouple data while adjusting the compensation and can see
the actual compensation value in the box below the Deg-F checkbox.
Use the Offset dropdown box to adjust the reading by up to +3 degrees
in 0.5° increments in either Centigrade if the Deg. F checkbox is unchecked or Fahrenheit if the Deg. F
checkbox is checked.
Update button - make the adjustment.
Done button - exits the window.
5.7.2 System Setup
The System Setup allows the administrator to adjust some basic settings of the unit like Unit Tag.
This feature is entered from the
system admin menu by pressing the icon shown right. This will
bring up the System Setup dialog box.
The options are as follows:
5.7.2.1 Mouse Pointer
Check this Enable checkbox if you plan on using an
external mouse or other pointing device. This will
keep the mouse pointer or cursor visible at all
times. Note: This setting only takes effect AFTER
you power down the unit and restart it.
5.7.2.2 Config Auto Save
Check this Enable checkbox to have the
Configuration file saved automatically each time a
change is made to the unit configuration. If you are
setting the system up for the first time you can
disable this feature by unchecking this box so the
process is a little quicker, however DO NOT
FORGET TO SAVE THE CONFIGURATION using
the
Quick Save button in the Utility Setup Menu.
5.7.2.3 Pop up Keyboard
Check this enable checkbox to have the keyboard pop up when selecting options that require data entry.
Uncheck this box if using an external (USB or PS2) keyboard
