Chapter 5 Programming
To program the virtual chart Speed options:
From the Chart/Pens menu use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Speed and then press the ENTER
button. Use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Set speeds or Autospeed and press the ENTER button.
5.5.1.1 Set speeds
If Set speeds is selected, you will be prompted with either standard* or metric*. Press the ENTER or
YES button to accept the current setting or the NO button and then ENTER or YES button to select the
other option. You will be prompted with "low speed= XX". Use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to select the
desired low chart speed and then press the ENTER button. You will be prompted with "high speed= XX".
Use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to select the desired high chart speed and then press the ENTER
button. Press the EXIT button to return to the Chart/Pens menu.
5.5.1.2 Autospeed
If Autospeed is selected, use the YES or NO button to change the display to read autospd=NO or
autospd=YES. When the desired Autospeed option is displayed, press the ENTER button. Press the
EXIT button to return to the Chart/Pens menu.
5.5.2 Scales
Scales are used to display and record all or part of the preselected Output scale. The user can effectively zoom
all or part of the available range. The user can also configure the grids printed on the display. Two sets of 8
scales A through H can be programmed. Only one of the two sets is active at any given time. The active set
can be selected via remote switches or from the front panel using the FUNCtion, Scale set option.
Each bar graph and/or pen is driven by a point. Any point in the system can be assigned to one or more of the
bar graphs and/or pens. A scale from A through H is selected for each point during point programming. Since
more than one point can be assigned to each scale, programming of the scale parameters is done separately
in the Scales menu. The point assignment connects the bar graphs, pens and display grids with the
corresponding scale.
To program a Scale:
From the Chart/Pens menu use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Scales and then press the ENTER
button. You will be prompted with "scale? XX". Use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to select the scale to
program, 1A through 1H or 2A through 2H, and then press the ENTER button. The Scales menu will be
displayed with four options: Scale type, Scale ends, Scale grid, Scale units. These options are described in
the following sections.
5.5.2.1 Scale type
The scale type can be Linear (LIN) or Logarithmic (LOG). For Linear scales, the point data is interpolated
linearly across the defined segments. For Log scales, the log 10 of the data is used in the interpolation.
To set the Scale type:
From the Scales menu use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Scale type and then press the
ENTER button. Use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to select type= LIN for Linear or type= LOG for
Logarithmic and press the ENTER button. Press the EXIT button to return to the Scales menu.
5.5.2.2 Scale ends
A low, mid and high end point is programmed for each scale. The low and high end points indicate the
values at the left and right margins of the chart and the bottom-most and top-most segments of the bar
graph display. The mid point defines the center of the chart and need not be halfway between the low and
high values of the scale. If the point data is outside the range between the low and high end-points, the pen
is positioned in one of the chart ends and the bar-graph is all-on or all-off. In the case of LOG scales, these
