Page 35: Introduction
Working for the first time with an instrument system as comprehensive and versa- tile as the Daytronic “System 10” can be a bit overwhelming. There are so many interrelated functions the system can be made to perform—functions for data col- lection, display, processing, communications, reporting, and process control.

In this section you will also learn how to use the keyboard’s Step and Back Space keys for rapid sequential interrogations. a. Turn to Appendix A of your System 10 Guidebook.* There you will find a cus- tomized printout, which we will call the “System 10 Data Sheet.” This is a com-...

You should already be aware of the “location” of the real channel that uses the source transducer you hooked up in Section 6, above. For example, if you cabled your real-world transducer to the first subchannel of the conditioner card in A Slot No.

Channel No. 1 and/or a high scan limit other than Channel No. t (see Section 1.F.1 of the System 10 Guidebook). Note too that for an A-sized mainframe, you cannot set a Termina- tor Channel higher than “160,” which is the maximum number of channels the system can handle.

Page 50: Setup Of Cross-Channel Calculations
Do not disconnect the transducer. It will be used in some of the following procedures. NOTE: Section 2.G of the System 10 Guidebook shows you how to set a data channel’s SCALING FACTOR and ZERO OFFSET directly, using the SCALING FACTOR (EMM) and OFFSET (BEE) commands, respectively.

NOTE: We are here assuming that your system’s Channel No. 150 is presently unused. Just to be safe, however, you might want to check your “System 10 Data Sheet.” If Channel No. 150 is not an unused channel, you will probably want to select another one for this procedure.

Page 61 There you’ll find recommended cabling for “full handshake,” “incoming handshake,” and “no handshake” interface situations. For proper data interchange between a System 10 mainframe and a connect- ed RS-232-C device to occur, the mainframe’s Computer Interface Port must be set to conform exactly with the protocol stipulated by the connected device.

Page 63: Further Optional Procedures
10 setup procedures that apply to “A-sized” mainframes. We have also briefly mentioned a number of other (essentially optional) procedures detailed in the System 10 Guidebook. To these we could add the following: • setup of COUNTER/TIMER functions when the optional Model 10ACT01 Counter/Timer Card and/or Model 10ACC-4 Four-Channel Totalizer Card is present (Section 3.A.1 of the System 10 Guidebook)

IMPORTANT: Make sure the EEPROM Write Protect Switch is OFF (downward position) before you power up your mainframe and before you turn it off.
Page 79: Crt Video Setup
Every B-sized mainframe can store up to 100 sepa- rate CRT VIDEO PAGE FORMATS (or “VIDEO PAGES”).* Each video page can be used to display a large number of “live” System 10 data channels either via digital readout or, if the Model 10VGM500 Card is present, via horizontal bargraph (see Section 17, below).
Page 80 a. Turn on your mainframe’s EEPROM Write Protect Switch by placing it in the upward position. An alternative method for enabling the EEPROM Write Pro- tect function—especially useful when you don’t want to have to remove the front bezel to access the switch—is to type a command of BIT 999 = 1 [CR] on the keyboard.

Page 391 BRATION OF SYSTEM DATA CHANNELS (SECTION 1.G). There are two mnemonic commands by which you can specify the precise range of data channels to be scanned by the System 10 Central Processor.* The TER- MINATOR (TER) command is a “WRITE” command, and thus requires the EEP- ROM Write Protect Switch to be ON.
Page 392 ANGE The TERMINATOR (TER) command defines the default scan range to be auto- matically in effect upon each System 10 powerup. This is the continuous range of data channels from the current SYSTEM BASE CHANNEL (“SBC”)—normally Channel No. 1—up to and including the last-specified TERMINATOR (“TER”) CHANNEL.
Page 393 LAGGING HANNELS For “B-sized” System 10 mainframes only, you can arrange for the display of any data channel presently outside the effective scan range to be prefixed by an ampersand (&). This is to alert the operator to the possibility that the displayed data reading for that channel may be invalid, if it is a “REAL”...

Page 396 In general terms, you will calibrate a signal-conditioner channel by commanding the System 10 Central Processor to compute and store two constant values: a SCALING FACTOR (“m”)—also called “multiplier” or “gain” factor—and a ZERO OFFSET (“b”).
Page 397 The basic System 10 calibration methods are listed below, and are described in the following Guidebook sections. TO FIND OUT WHICH CALIBRATION METHOD OR METHODS MAY BE USED WITH A GIVEN CONDITIONER CARD, YOU SHOULD REFER TO THE RESPECTIVE SUBSECTION OF SECTION 1.E.2 OF THIS GUIDE-...

Applying the ZERO (ZRO) or FORCE (FRC) command to an unscanned channel will probably result in an erroneous data reading for that channel.

This you may do by pressing the keyboard’s Esc key or by transmitting either the mnemonic ESC or the ASCII [Esc] character (= hex 1B) to System 10 via the Computer Interface Port.
