Configuration Menu - Ametek L Series User Manual

4.4.2 Configuration menu

The configuration menu allows the user to change the configuration of the
LSGUI program and the IEEE-488 interface. It also provides access to the L-
Series hardware configuration screen. Note that the L-Series hardware
configuration cannot be changed by the end-user. It is set at the factory at
the time of shipment. You can however save the configuration data to disk in
case the non-volatile memory contents ever gets lost. Refer to section 11.
The L-Series hardware configuration screen also provides access to the
Calibration screens. To unlock the calibration screens, a calibration
password is required. This password is normally known to authorized
personnel only. This security measure is added to facilitate compliance with
quality standards that call for traceable calibration data and audit trails.
Without the correct password, the LSGUI program cannot be used to change
calibration data.
The calibration password for version 1.0 of the LSGUI software is printed
on the original distribution disk. Make sure you keep this information in a
secure place and provide the password only to qualified personnel.
The following three sub-menus are available from the Configuration
menu:

Purpose
Opens the model selection dialog box. This dialog box
allows different L series models to be selected for
simulation purposes. The L-Series Model can only be
changed when in simulation mode. Changing models will
affect the look of certain other screens and controls.
screen. This screen displays installed options and
hardware configuration parameters. It also provides
access to output and measurement calibration screens
Opens the IEEE interface settings screen. This screen
allows the user to select a different IEEE address from 1
through 30. L-Series AC sources are factory set to IEEE
address 1. Note that the IEEE address set in the L-
Series non volatile setup memory cannot be changed
from the LSGUI. It needs to be set or changed from the
front panel. Refer to the L-Series instruction manual for
details. The IEEE address used by the LSGUI software
however can be changed to match the one set on the L-
Series. Refer to section 5.3 for details.
