Steady State Execution Modes; Update Mode; Immediate Mode - Ametek L Series User Manual

L-Series and FCS-18- Graphical User Interface User Manual

6.3 Steady state execution modes

The steady state control panel can be used in one of two operating
modes. These modes are Immediate or Update and can be found on the
right hand side in the Execution area.

6.3.1 Update mode

If the control panel is in the Update mode (default mode
when the window is opened), changes made to any of the
controls have no effect until the
pressed. This allows the user to set all the output
parameter values to the desired values and then update
the L-Series steady state all at once.

6.3.2 Immediate mode

If the control panel is in Immediate mode, changes
made to any of the controls immediately affect the setting of
the connected L-Series unit. This allows the user to slew
values up or down using the mouse. This mode of
operation more closely reflects the operation of an actual
front panel.
Note : Since the amount of bus traffic can be high when
other tasks such as measurements are running, the
response to changes in the Immediate mode may appear to
be sluggish. For the fastest response times, make sure no background
measurements are running. (See chapter 8 on measurements)
