- Status Screen Operation
9.2 Screen Data Fields and Functions
There are a number of data items listed in the Status screen. Each item is a separate field. The rest of
this section explains each of these fields, as well as functions accessed through this screen.
9.2.1 Time and Date
The time and date indicate the current values as reported by the 8500C/C+ real-time clock. The time is
displayed in a 24-hr format. Time and date are primarily used to time-stamp 8500C/C+ printouts and
may be modified through the Status Setup screen.
NOTE: The real-time clock operates even if power to the 8500C/C+ has been turned off. As
a result, you do not have to reset the time and date.
9.2.2 Pickup Pulse Rate
P/U Rate
represents the current frequency reading from a signal source (azimuth), such as a magnetic
pickup or Photocell, and is a good way to check its current state without initiating a spectral data
acquisition. Frequency units may be displayed in either revolutions per minute (RPM) or cycles per
second (Hertz) and may be selected through the Status Setup screen.
9.2.3 Firmware Version Number
8500C /C+Version
displays the instrument's firmware version number. This field cannot be modified.
9.2.4 Prints Waiting
Prints Waiting
displays the number of print jobs waiting to be printed on the 8500C/C+ printer. This
field cannot be modified.
9.2.5 Paper Status
Paper
indicates whether the 8500C/C+ printer has paper or not. This field cannot be modified.
9.2.6 Output Storage Device
Store To
indicates the device to which the
STORE
command writes data files, either 8500C/C+
memory or the 8500C/C+ disk drive. The device may be selected through the Status Setup screen. This
field must be set to
DISK
if subsequent
STORE
operations are to write balance charts, spectral data, or
balance histories to the 8500C/C+ disk drive, or to
MEMORY
if the data are to be written to memory.
9.2.7 Memory Free
Memory Fre
indicates the percentage amount of 8500C/C+ static memory still available for storage.
This field cannot be modified.
