Table 11-1: Database Setup Parameters
P
ARAMETER
P699: DB #:
Specifies the database number to be setup. Selections are
1 - 250.
P700: DBNam
Allows for specifying the database name (customize to
usage). Use arrow keys to key in alpha characters.
P701: Col01
Specifies the parameter to be stored in column one of the
database. Instances must be chosen for most parameters.
P702: Col02
Specifies the parameter to be stored in column two of the
database. Instances must be chosen for most parameters.
P703: Col03
Specifies the parameter to be stored in column three of the
database. Instances must be chosen for most parameters.
All subsequent database parameters through P798 follow the pattern of
those listed in the Database Setup Parameters table. As many as 98
columns are allowed in each database.
The database setup parameter number is P699. To access the database
setup mode:
1. Key in 699.
2. Press [SELECT].
Now, you can specify the database number you want to access by keying
in that number and then press [ENTER]. For the Model 460, use the
[PRINT] and [UNITS] keys to enter the database number desired. Press
[SELECT] to move to parameter 700 and name the database. Press
[SELECT] to move to parameter 701 and specify the parameter to be
stored in column 1. Press [SELECT] again to move to parameter 702 and
specify the parameter to be stored in column 2, and so on (through
parameter 798 for 98 columns, if you like).
Most parameters (variables, etc.) entered as the column definition will
require that you also specify an instance (for example, 80.3).
To assign a parameter to a column, key in the parameter ID along with the
instance (80.4, for example), and press [ENTER]. If you are unsure which
parameter you require, use the [F1•] and [F4‚] on the 660 series, [F1]
and [F2] on the 560 and [F1•] and [TARGET‚] keys on the Model 465
and the [PRINT•] key on the Model 460 to scroll through the list of
parameters. When the appropriate parameter number is displayed, press
[ENTER] to save it. The indicator will prompt you to enter an instance.
Repeat this procedure for all the columns (P701 through P798) your
application will require.
Only the first five characters of a parameter name are shown on the lower
line of the dot matrix display initially. You can view the rest of the name by
pressing either the left or right arrow keys, respectively. If no name has
been assigned to the parameter, "None" is displayed.
To delete a column definition, press the [CLR] key when that column is
shown. To delete all the current selections for the columns of a database:
1. Specify the database instance at parameter P699 (for example, 1),
and press [ENTER] or [ZERO] + [TARE] keys on the Model 460.
2. Press the [CLR] key or [TARE] on the Model 460.
