Figure 4-2. Using the Config menu
7. To select the measurement interval, click on the scrolling arrows
located next to Sampling interval . You can choose from 1 minute
up to 10 minutes in one-minute intervals.
The measurement interval specifies how often the sensors are
sampled for data. That is, if the measurement interval is one minute,
all seven INCU sensors are then polled every minute and the results
are recorded.
8. To select the recording period, click on the scrolling arrows located
next to Total measurement time. You can choose up to 35 hours for
the recording period (with a 10-minute sampling period).
The recording period specifies the duration of the test. That is, if the
measurement interval is one minute and the recording period is set
for one hour, the test will last for one hour, and during that time, 60
measurements for each sensor will be recorded. The maximum
measurement capacity of the INCU is 1470 (210 records x 7
parameters).
9. Enter the serial number for the incubator under test in the field next
to Incubator serial no .
Note: You must enter a serial number in this field to proceed.
10. From the File menu, choose Print to print out a monitoring sheet
(see Figure B-1 in Appendix B, Report Examples). This sheet
contains the INCU configuration information along with fields for
manufacturer, type, department, etc. Use the
monitoring sheet to
record events that occur during the incubator-testing phase.
