Checkline TI-CMXDL - Manual (Page 17)

RESTORE SETUPS: Enables the user the ability to restore the setups currently saved o
a PC to an TI-CMXDL via RS232 port. Refer the help section of the TI-CMXDL
Datacomm software for a complete electronic manual.
ABOUT: Provides the user with Dakota Ultrasonics contact information and the TI-
CMXDL software version. Refer the Dakota Ultrasonics web site for information on the
latest firmware versions available for download.
3.10 CLR (clear) Key
The primary functions of the CLR key, is to clear a measurement from a grid o
sequential log files cell location or set obstruct, and backspace in an Alpha Edi
Box. If a user has already saved a measurement and waveform to a cell locatio
use this key to clear the measurement at any time.
3.11 MEAS (measurement) Key
The MEAS key puts the TI-CMXDL into it’s primary mode of operation. In t
mode, the user has a complete view of the LCD.
3.12 OK Key
The primary function of the OK key is confirmation of a change or selection.
3.13 ESC Key
The ESC key is used in the MENU, MEAS, and EDIT functions as a back or
escape function.
3.14 Arrow Keys
The Arrow Keys are used to navigate through the menus, increase/decrease values, and
toggle specific function keys.
3.15 ENTER Key
The ENTER key is used in the overall menu selection process, to activate
list and edit boxes, display and save measurements to grid or sequential files
locations. Use this key to open your log files while making measurements.
3.16 MULTI MODE Key
The MULTI MODE key opens a measurement mode screen listing all the mode
that are available to the transducer specifically selected. The modes can be all o
combination of the entire set of modes the TI-CMXDL offers, depending on
which transducer is being used as follows: Coating Off (P-E), Coating On
(PECT), Temp Comp (PETP), Thru-Coat (E-E), and Coating Only (CT).
3.17 ON/OFF Key
The ON/OFF key simply powers the unit either ON or OFF. Note: Unit will
automatically power off when idle for 5 minutes. All current settings are
automatically saved prior to powering off.

6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 until the Grid or Seq Note is completed.
7. Press the OK key to save the Grid or Seq Note and return to the Grid or Seq List Items
menu, or ESC to cancel entering the Grid or Seq Note.
Setting the Coordinates or Start & Stop ID’s
Grid: A grid is defined by using coordinates to define the Top Left and the Bottom Right
corners of the grid. Alpha coordinates are horizontal across the top, and numeric coordi-
nates are vertical down the side. Therefore, to define the top left corner of the grid, there
will be an (X,Y) coordinate. Where X is an alpha column location across the top and Y is a
numeric row location down the side. Use the same logic when choosing the lower right
corner. An individual grid can be up to 999 rows and 52 columns.
Sequential: The sequential file format can be viewed as a file as a single column of up to
512 possible rows (readings), and a column of corresponding identifiers associated with
each individual reading. The identifier can be a combination of up to 10 numeric, alpha, or
special characters listed above, while the file name can consist of a combination of up to 20
of the same character set.
Note: The identifier cannot start or end with a special character. Once a start and end ID
are entered into the TI-CMXDL and the log created, the TI-CMXDL will automatically
generate all the identifiers within that range.
Setting the Top Left(Grid) or Start ID(Seq)
1. Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys
to scroll through the new Grid or Seq
List Items until TOP LEFT or
START ID is highlighted.
2. Press the ENTER key to activate the
Coordinate or Start ID Edit Box.
3. GRID LOG: Use the LEFT, &
RIGHT arrow keys to scroll the
Columns, and the UP, DOWN arrow
keys to scroll the Rows.
SEQ LOG: Use the UP, DOWN,
LEFT, & RIGHT arrow keys to
highlight the appropriate alpha
characters. Press the ENTER key to select a character and advance to the next
character field, in conjunction with using the CLR key to backspace if necessary.
4. Press the OK key to select the coordinate or start ID and return to the Grid or Seq List
Items screen, or ESC to cancel the selection and return to the Grid or Seq List Items
menu.
