5 . 3 MCS100E starts the measurement program and thus measurement: • Automatically when MCS100E (→ §5.3.1) is switched on. • AT DOS level by means of the 1.bat program (→ §5.3.2). After the start of the measurements, the measured value display is shown.
3 You are then at DOS level. 4 If required, disable the watchdogs (→ p. 109, §7.8). To be sure that - after having quit the program - MCS100E is in the basic condition (important e.g. for configuration of the I/O module boxes): ...
Main Menu: Printer: Print System data A list is displayed for selection of the MCS100E data to be printed. Upon selection of the system data you will be prompted whether or not to start printing. If you wish to print into a file, then you have to indicate the file name when prompted.
5.7.9.7 Main Menu: Configuration: Sample switching With MCS100E sample (point) switching is possible.by switching cyclically from one sample point to the next. The system is pre-purged for a selectable time with the new sample gas, before the new measured value is accepted.
5.7.11.6 Specialist: System edit: Sample switching With MCS100E, sample (point) switching is possible by switching cyclically from one sample point to the next. The system is pre-purged for a selectable time with the new sample gas, before the new measured value is accepted.
Setting Meaning Is there an aperture at Yes: MCS100E avoids a filter wheel position where there are 2 subsequent position 8 of filter wheel 1 empty apertures (overload of detector) by first positioning filter wheel 2 on a filter and then filter wheel 1 on an empty aperture.
MCS only on request: MCS100E sends data to the serial interface on request, only. MCS100E is continuously ready for receiving data. MCS on request and in cycles: MCS100E sends data on request and in cycles to the serial interface. MCS100E is continuously ready for receiving data.
