4.2.1 Main Menu
The Main menu has two selections: Measure/View and Setup. Select Measure/View if you want to take
an immediate measurement or view the results of the last measurement. Select Setup if you need to
change user display preferences, setup vessel parameters, SmartBob network settings or configure the
Expansion network. The main menu is at the top of the menu system, so pressing the
have no effect.
4.2.2 Measure/View
The Measure/View menu provides a full listing of all the last measurement
results and a means to initiate a measurement. It will always have at least
two selections. The first selection will always be Measure All and selecting
it will immediately start a measurement process on all configured
SmartBob sensors. The second selection and any following selections will
contain the last measurement data next to its associated SmartBob
address. Note that SmartBob sensors are identified by their address and are always displayed with three
digits ranging from 001 to 120. Selecting any of the measurement data will bring up the details screen for
that SmartBob. If there is only one SmartBob sensor configured on the network then there will only be
two selections in this menu. If you have multiple SmartBob sensors configured, then you can scroll
through this menu to see them all. The title bar will also indicate whether the measurement data is of the
headroom (Hdrm) or of the product (Prod), as set under Measurement Format. Note that 'headroom'
refers to the upper empty space in the tank and 'product' refers to the lower filled space.
The details screen displays additional data for a particular SmartBob and
provides a means to take a measurement with that particular SmartBob by
pressing the key. Use the
(capacity, headroom and product) for the selected vessel and SmartBob.
In each mode, the percentage and height are displayed, as is volume or
weight if weight calculations are enabled. If the vertical scroll indicators
are present, the operator can scroll to other SmartBob measurement results.
The accuracy of these readings is dependent on both the SmartBob reading and the vessel parameters
entered into Vessel Setup.
4.2.3 Setup
The Setup menu has selections for setting user preferences, configuring the SmartBob network, the
Expansion network and defining SmartBobs and associated vessels. All settings and configurations
made will be retained during a loss of power.
SB-485 Protocol
This is a menu for setting which communications protocol to use on the SmartBob network, the
operator can choose A or B. The default setting is A.
All devices on the SmartBob network must be configured to use the same protocol. Protocol A is
newer, more reliable and more efficient while protocol B is older and supported for legacy
products. It is recommended to use protocol A if all the devices on the SmartBob network
support it; otherwise use protocol B. The protocol must be configured prior to running Auto
Add/Remove or any measurement process. See the SBRII or SB-TS1 manual for their protocol
jumper settings.
