Setting up warnings for a control
Administrators and supervisors can configure the system
to issue a warning or stop the entire test run if a sample
result is outside the control limits.
NOTE: This works only if you use Sample IDs during
testing.
1. From the CONTROLS screen, press ACTION > Issue
Warning.
2. Select the range limit for action (1SD, 2SD, 3SD).
3. Press SAVE.
The system issues a warning if a sample result falls
outside the range limit.
3.9 Setting up networking communications
Your IT administrator can help you set up your
instrument to connect to a network in order to send
data, back up files, or use a network time server.
Configuring a LAN connection
The instrument can connect to a computer or other
devices over a local area network (LAN).
1. Plug an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet connector.
2. Press NETWORKING and log in (see Logging in from
the Settings screen).
3. Press the LAN tab.
4. Select one of the following network protocols:
• Static IP (recommended for best results):
Assigning an unchanging static IP address to the
instrument makes it easier for other devices to
contact the instrument over the network.
a. Press and enter the IP Address.
b. Press and enter the Subnet Mask.
c. Press and enter the Default Gateway.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): A
DHCP server dynamically assigns an IP address and
other network parameters to the instrument.
The IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
are entered automatically, and can change each
time the instrument connects to the network.
5. Enter the host name (up to 32 characters)—
especially if more than one OsmoTECH is connected
to the network.
6. Press Save.
Setting up OPC-UA communication
NOTE: For more information about OPC UA settings,
refer to the OsmoTECH Family Data Management
Guide (p/n CL00122).
1. Press NETWORKING and log in (see Logging in from
the Settings screen).
2. Press OPC-UA.
3. Press Enable.
4. Enter the server port, device name, and minimum
sample interval (in msec).
5. Press SAVE.
