4 | Operation Operation General Measurement Principle The VACTEST TRP 701/901 D is equipped with an internal ceramic diaphragm sensor. Another piezo- resistive sensor measures ambient pressure. Under the influence of pressure, the thin diaphragm of the piezo-resistive sensor is bent, on the back of which a resistor-bridge is applied.

Operation | 4 Start and Stop Data Logging Your VACTEST TRP 701/901 D can be operated as data logger. Multiple measurements in separate data files of type VACTEST Explorer (*.vgw) can be saved in the internal memory. Memory size will be sufficient for several million data points.
Page 12
4 | Operation Graph The VACTEST TRP 701/901 D can plot measurements as pressure-vs-time diagram. Diagram options can be adjusted as described in section 4.6.2 Diagram-Options. [➔ 17] To start plotting measurements in a diagram select item “Graph“ from the main menu: Depending on the diagram settings pressure readings will now be plotted over time.
Page 13
Operation | 4 Calculation of Leakage Rates By means of a rate-of-rise measurent the VACTEST TRP 701/901 D is able to calculate the leakage rate of a vacuum system. To start a rate-of-rise measurement select “Leakage Rate“ from the main menu: In the next step the internal volume of the vacuum vessel or system has to be entered.

Operation | 4 4.6.1 Logging Mode Select item “Logging Mode“ in the “Settings“ menu to adjust parameters for data logger operation, i.e. logging interval and an automatic stop after a desired time limit. Logging Interval Measurement data will be stored with this adjustable time interval after the data logging is started. The edited value must finally be confirmed with the “OK“-key.
Page 16
4 | Operation CAUTION Logging interval and required logging period should match to avoid unnecessarily high data volumes! This function will terminate data logging automatically after an adjustable time limit. In the first step the function has to be enabled or disabled. To enable select “On“ and then “Arrow right“...

Operation | 4 4.6.2 Diagram-Options By selecting item “Graph“ in the “Settings“ menu you can adjust parameters for the graphic display of measurements as a pressure-over-time diagram, i.e. data source, time mode and axis options. Graph Mode Under this menu item you can choose whether the pressure-over-time diagram will show all mea- surements beginning from the start of the plot (“Zoom“) or whether measurements are plotted in a rolling mode within an adjustable time frame including the current reading (“Roll“).
Page 18
4 | Operation Graph Window If a rolling mode has been selected as “Graph Mode“ this menu item will allow to set the required time frame for the diagram. The setting must finally be confirmed with the “OK“-key. Graph Axis Use this menu item to select whether the y-axis of your plot shall have linear or logarithmic scaling.

Operation | 4 4.6.4 Device Settings Under menu “Settings“ / “Device“ you can change basic settings of your VACTEST TRP 701/901 D. Alarm Buzzer With this function an optic and acoustic alert function can be activated. Under “Datasource“ you can initially activate the alarm buzzer and select which measurement signal should trigger the alert.
Page 22
4 | Operation Under “Volume“ the loudness of the alert signal can be adjusted. Depending on the settings made under menu item “Switch Mode“ the alert will be triggered, as soon as an adjustable threshold is under- or overshot or if a device error has occurred: The thresholds to switch-on and switch-off the alert can be edited under menu “Switch Values“.
Page 23
Operation | 4 All settings must finally be confirmed with the “OK“-key. Max. Operation Time This function assures that the VACTEST TRP 701/901 D will be switched-off after an adjustable maxi- mum operation time even in operation mode “Continuous“. This will avoid unintended discharge of the battery.
