4. SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
AND CALIBRATION
2. Enter the model number of the currently installed
Signal Conditioner Module (SCM). You may either
select “5D64” from the popup list, or interrogate the
installed module directly via the
Get/Check SCM
Model Number
button (assuming that serial com-
munications have been established). When you
ask the installed module for its model number, its
serial number will also be communicated to the
Configurator.
3. In the
Instrument Setup page, enter or select
appropriate values for
• measurement and display setup
• limit logic setup
• setup of output processing, including analog
peak capture, tare offset, and voltage output full
scale
4. In the
SC Module Setup page, select appropriate
values for
• 5D64 nominal full-scale input range (in volts DC)
• 5D64 analog filter (0.2, 2, 20, 200, or 2000 Hz)
5. Go to the
Calibrate / Configure page, press the
button labeled
Calibrate This Instrument, and
enter all requested calibration settings (see Section
4.E). If the Configurator is unable for any reason to
communicate with the connected 3000PLUS instru-
ment, the
Instrument Calibration window cannot
be opened. As explained in Section 4.E,
“ABSOLUTE TRANSDUCER,” “ABSOLUTE VOLT-
AGE,” and TWO-POINT calibration methods are
available for the Model 5D64 conditioner.
6. In the
General page, enter optional instrument/
configuration description, configuration creator
code, transducer model/serial number, and com-
ments (if desired). You may also (1) specify a four-
digit
security code other than the default “0000” (if
desired) to prevent unauthorized alteration of the
3000PLUS instrument’s operating configuration via
the front-panel keypad; and (2) indicate whether the
operator will or will not be permitted to view and
edit limit setpoint values while the instrument is in
normal run mode by turning “limits security” off or
on, respectively.
7. Assuming that it passes the automatic
validation
test, your configuration is now ready to be down-
loaded (see
“Downloading a Configuration to
the 3000PLUS Instrument”
in the Configurator
ON-LINE HELP).
In general, you will take the steps listed below for “off-
line” development of a new 3000PLUS setup configura-
tion (although the exact sequence of steps may vary,
depending on your own preference). Alternatively, you
may initially wish to upload the existing setup parame-
ters of the connected instrument to form a new
3000PLUS configuration, which you may then proceed
to modify as desired. In this case, you need not per-
form Steps 1 and 2, below; the instrument’s
SCM
model number
will be automatically and accurately
entered.
If in the course of defining a complete configuration,
you should neglect to enter a value for any critical con-
figuration parameter, you will be so informed when you
attempt to download that configuration to the
3000PLUS instrument. The software will not let you
download a critically incomplete configuration. You can
run the validation routine at any time during the configu-
ration process (without first having to command a
download), to see if there are currently any errors that
need to be corrected (see
“Validating the Open Con-
figuration”
in the Configurator ON-LINE HELP).
As each configuration value is entered, it is automatical-
ly saved. There is no need to apply a “Save” to the con-
figuration as a whole. This also means, however, that
you cannot easily “restore” a changed configuration to
its original state. For this reason, if you’re editing an
existing configuration, and think that you might later
need that same configuration in its original (unedited)
form, it’s best to use the
Save As… menu command
and work on a copy of the original configuration (you
can always delete the original later, if desired).
On any Configurator page, a
turquoise-colored data
field
indicates a configuration value that is automatically
determined by the software, usually on the basis of one
or more user-entered values. You cannot directly type
in the contents of such fields.
At any time you can view and print out a full Configura-
tion report or a full list of the 3000PLUS mnemonic
commands that represent the currently open configura-
tion (see Appendix A of this manual).
1. Using the
New… menu command, open and give a
name to a new (default) configuration. In the new
configuration, all
instrument setup parameters will
be assigned specific default values, while all
Signal
Conditioner Module (SCM)
setup parameters will
be initially blank (until the
SCM model number is
entered).
