3.12 ENGINEER MODE OVERLAYS
The
Engineer Mode Overlays
are used to view (
Display
) or make necessary changes (
Configure
)
to the controller database parameters. Standard viewing/change entries are made by addressing
single parameters by their datapoint specification on a single line overlay at the bottom of the display.
On units with HiRes displays (53MC5xxxB4xxxxxxxxx) either the datapoint method or the module
method may be used to perform viewing/change operations. The following sample screens show the
high-resolution display except where noted. The module method uses a full screen overlay to
navigate through a series of menus to select the parameter(s) of interest by their module/atom
reference. If Engineer Mode is accessed and its functions (e.g., configure or display) are not used, it
"times-out" in 20 seconds and the overlay disappears from the bottom of the display. The Engineer
Mode may be locked-out with the Hand Held Configurer using the procedure described in Section
3.14.
3.12.1 PASSWORD FUNCTION PROMPT
When the password prompt
KEY?
appears, it indicates a password was set with an external device
(e.g. Hand Held Configurer, personal computer, etc.). The password can not be set via the front
panel push buttons. A password key is a maximum of 10 numeric characters (numbers 0-9 only). It
does not impede display functions in engineering mode but must be unlocked to perform configura-
tion functions. A password key is
NOT SET FOR NEW INSTRUMENTS
from the factory; therefore,
if it is set, it must have been done locally. The password must first be obtained from the originator
before the procedures below can be used to access the engineering mode configuration function
capabilities.
