The main start up screen will display to allow you to select the menu option operation to perform. The touch‐screen icon options are detailed in the following paragraphs. 2.1 ACQUIRE ICON The Acquire icon allows the acquisition of data from an Ebtron Gold Series Transmitter equipped with an EB‐Link option card. The transmitter cover must be removed to permit IR communication with the EB‐Link Reader. When using the EB‐Link Reader, remember to point the device directly at the transmitter within 3.3 feet (1 meter) of it and hold it in that position until the ACQUIRE event is complete. Data acquisition typically occurs in a few seconds. To acquire data: a. Point the EB‐Link Reader at the transmitter at a distance of < 3.3 feet (1 meter). b. Touch Acquire screen icon. Keep EB‐Link Reader pointed at transmitter. Screen will indicate “Searching for GTx116”, and then “Eb‐Link Established. Acquiring Data.” This is followed by “Success. Data Acquired.” before summary measurement data is displayed. Selecting the TRAV screen icon allows individual probe and sensor flows and temperatures to be displayed. Selecting the SAVE screen icon allows the current data to be saved. The SAVE option is only visible if the data has not already been saved. Selecting the RE‐ACQUIRE screen icon allows for new data to be acquired from the transmitter. 3 EBTRON Inc. 1663 Hwy. 701 S., Loris, SC 29569 USA Ph: 800.2EBTRON (800.232.8766) Fax: 843.756.1838 EBTRON.com...
