7.8 Setting Areas

106
The K3GN series of products can assume two states that are refereed to as setting
area 0 and setting area 1 in this manual.
In setting area 0, the product is carrying out a measurement.
In this state, you can therefore perform such operations that are permitted only
during measuring, or that cause no trouble even if a measurement is in progress.
These operations include "process value reading", "parameter writing" and
"forced-zero execution".
On the contrary, this state prohibits such operations that exert an effect on
measurement in progress, including "parameter writing at the initial setting level"
(parameter reading is always allowed).
In setting area 1, measurement is suspended.
In this state, you can therefore perform such operations that are not allowed in
setting area 0. These operations include "parameter writing at the initial setting,
communication setting, and advanced-function setting levels".
At power-on, the product is in setting
area 0. To move to setting area 1, use
the "move-to-setting area 1" instruc-
tion. To return to setting area 0,
power the product off and on again, or
use the "software reset" instruction.
The figure on the right shows the
setting areas and the levels contained
in each setting area.
A transition to the initial setting level
by key operation implies a transition
from setting area 0 to setting area 1.
This enables the host PC to operate the
product in setting area 1.
A transition to setting area 1 by remote
control from the host PC causes the
level indicator on the front panel to
indicate the product is at the initial
setting level. To return to the opera-
tion level, use the L key.
