Activating A Channel - GE DigitalFlow XGS868i Programming Manual

1.4 Activating a Channel

Channelx-ACTIV
The submenu permits selection of the desired measurement method. In addition, it is used to
activate/deactivate one or both of the channels in a 2-Channel Model XGS868i.
While following the programming instructions, refer to Figure 28 on page 77. To access the Channelx-ACTIV submenu:
1. In the Keypad Program, scroll to PROG and press [Enter].
2. In the PROG menu, scroll to CH1 or CH2 and press [Enter].
3. In the Channel PROGRAM menu, scroll to ACTIV and press [Enter].
4. Scroll to Burst to activate the channel/path, and press [Enter].
Note: Burst is automatically selected for a 1-Channel meter.
5. Scroll to one of the measurement methods described below and press [Enter].
Skan Only is the preferred technique for locating the acoustic signal and for high velocity measurements. It is
•
more robust in a noisy environment than the Measure technique.
Skan/Measure is the preferred technique to use for low velocity measurements.
•
If Skan Only is selected at the above prompt, the meter uses this technique exclusively. However, if Skan/Measure is
selected, the meter uses Skan Only to find the acoustic signal and then tries to use the Skan/Measure technique for the
actual measurement.
Note: To change the Skan Only and Skan/Measure parameters, see the
chapter.
Procedure Options
After completing the above step, the XGS868i returns to the Channel PROGRAM window. Do one of the following:
•
To continue entering "quick startup" data, proceed to Step 3 in the following section.
•
To continue regular programming, refer to Appendix A, Menu Maps, to navigate to the desired menu.
To leave the Keypad Program, press [Escape] twice.
