or off. If the autotransfer is off, the values in
the fields of the 'Control Panel' are not being
refreshed. This option should be only used, if
individual, manual instructions are sent with
the 'Command' field.
If the instrument is identified by the software, the ID of the is-
ntrument is shown in the status field below. If the instrument
could not be identified the status field displays NO DEVICE
DETECTET. After program exit the software settings are stored
(except the setting of "autotransfer").
Please note that the identification can take 4-5 seconds!
9.2.2 Control Panel
In the field 'Control Panel' the current mesurement values are
displayed and are being refreshed every second. With the but-
tons below the data read-outs the measurement ranges can be
selected. The actual range is indicated by a green button. With
selection of the "Auto" function the HM8115-2 automatically
switches to the suitable voltage/current range.
9.2.3 Measurement
In the 'Measurement' field you can do automated measurements
and store the values in a csv file (csv = Comma Separated
Values).
With the 'Start' button the test series is started. The measure-
ment value can be set in the field 'Loop time'. After expiration
of the measurement intervall the software queries the values
from the power meter and displays the answer in the text field
on the left hand side. These values can be stored by opening
the menu 'File – Save measurement'.
With the option 'rotational measurement' activated the
measurement function are automatically alternated. For ex-
ample you can activate all options WATT, VAR, VA, PF. The
functions will be successively polled from the power meter and
displayed in the text field. With the 'Stop' button the current test
series is stopped. With the button 'Clear List'" the content of
the text window is deleted and a new test series can be started.
9.2.4 Instructions
With these two fields and the 'Send' button you can send indi-
vidual commands to the equipment. See the Operating Manual
of HM8115-2 for the command reference.
Please note, that the commands are sent to the instrument
without being checked by the software. If the HM8115-2 sends
an answer, it will be displayed in the 'Answer' field.
If you send the commands manually to the instrument, we
recommend to turn off the 'autotransfer' option. If the 'Show
data traffic' option is selected, all commands and answers are
shown in the fields 'Command' and 'Answer'.

the 'Software' window select the entry HM8115-2 and press 're-

the software HM8115-2.
