Alarms Tab; Configuring Recording - Chauvin Arnoux SIMPLE LOGGER II Manual De Usario

English

2.3.3 Alarms tab

Selecting the Alarms tab opens the Alarms window
This third page lets you parameterize the following options:
Alarms : each channel is configured independently of the others. Only the channels selected for
recording can have alarms assigned to them.
The alarms are defined by selecting the desired channel, the type of alarm, then the alarm limits.
Check the "Inclusive" box to trigger the alarm when the level in the channel is equal to one of the
specified limits.
For example, when you select the "Above upper limit" type of alarm and do not select "Inclusive", the
alarm is triggered only if the measured value is greater than the specified upper limit. Select
"Inclusive" for the alarm to be triggered when the measured value is greater than or equal to the
specified upper limit.
The control panel includes three other buttons (at bottom right) used to:
OK : finalize the configuration; the configuration of the three previous pages is saved, the necessary
information is transmitted to the instrument, and the control panel closes on a new confirmation
window.
Cancel : cancel the configuration; the control panel window closes and the various parameters
modified in the previous configuration are cancelled.
Help : get help; without closing the control panel, a new window opens to provide help or additional
information.

2.3.4 Configuring recording

If the instrument contains batteries in working order, then when the connection is established following the
®
opening of DataView , it automatically enters Standby mode or remains in Recording mode.
1. if the instrument is in recording mode, recording must be stopped using the Start/Stop command of the
Instrument menu of the control panel (it may then be necessary to save the recorded data in order to
free memory in the instrument; see the procedure in the corresponding chapter);
2. in the Instrument menu of the Control panel, select Configuration;
3. in the open configuration window, the Recording page is normally displayed; if not, select the Recording
tab to open it;
4. in this page, in the Configuration of measurement part, select the available channels (depending on the
model) one by one and check or uncheck the Record box for each channel;
5. if appropriate to the model, use the Scales tab to open the corresponding page and determine the
coefficients and units (this page is shaded and cannot be modified for models with fixed scales and
units);
6. to be able to monitor and record deviations exceeding certain limits, open the Alarms page using its tab
and determine the various thresholds at which an alarm will be reported and recorded (the alarms must
be activated and configured or not for each of the channels to be recorded). Note that poorly defined
thresholds may cause a permanent alarm and so consume far more memory than anticipated;
7. return to the Record page and select the data recording mode (Start/Stop, FIFO or XRM™), select the
type of recording starting time (normal or synchronous);
8. in the same window, the instrument time can be reset quickly using the Set Clock button; then select a
recording rate from among the values proposed (click on the vertical scrolling arrow to see the list of
valid values; selecting a value or clicking again closes the list);
9. in the same way, select a recording duration from among the proposed values;
