is selected, the fields and/or buttons for modifying any
setup parameter(s) specific to that channel will be
enabled.

When Channel 2 or 3 is selected, the HOLD
ON/OFF
button will also be enabled.
The
“Live” Output window lets you change the current-
ly effective value of each of the following output-specific
parameters on a strictly run-time basis. As soon as you
edit an existing parameter and exit that parameter’s
field or button set, the newly entered value will be
immediately sent to the connected 3000PLUS instru-
ment.

• Peak Mode (Channel 2)
• Peak “Defeat” Threshold (Channel 2)
• Peak “Backout” Threshold (Channel 2)
• Leak Rate (Channel 2)
• Desired “Tared” Output (Channel 2)
• Limits Enable, Limits Latch Mode, and Limits Polari-
ty (Channel 2)

• High and Low Limits (Channel 2)
• High and Low Limit Hysteresis (Channel 2)
• Voltage Output Full Scale (Channel 3)
MODIFYING THE “LIVE” CONFIGURATION
The “Live” Output window also lets you change the
currently effective value of each of the following instru-
ment / module setup parameters on a strictly run-time
basis, regardless of the output channel being dis-
played. Again, as soon as you edit an existing parame-
ter and exit that parameter’s field or button set, the
newly entered value will be immediately sent to the con-
nected 3000PLUS instrument.

SAVING “LIVE” PARAMETERS
TO THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION
You can easily transfer to the currently open 3000PLUS
configuration all of the setup values presently displayed
in the
“Live” Output window by pressing the button
labeled
“Save All Current Settings to This Configu-
ration.”

As mentioned in Section 4.A, you may at any time use
the Configurator’s
3000PLUS “Live” Output window
(Fig. 11) to view and modify the present configuration of
the connected 3000PLUS instrument
on a strictly run-
time basis
. If a configuration file is currently open, you
may, if you wish, save to that file all the configuration
modifications you make via the
“Live” Output window.
However, you need not open or create a configuration
file in order to configure your instrument “on-line,”
unless you want to save the resulting configuration or
perform a subsequent calibration
.
To open the
“Live” Output window, go to the Calibrate
/ Configure
page and press the button labeled
View/Set “Live” Instrument Output and Configura-
tion
. This button will be active even if you have not yet
opened an existing configuration or created a new one.
Assuming that valid serial communications have been
established between the Configurator and the
3000PLUS, the Configurator will now query the instru-
ment for each of its current setup parameters (exclud-
ing calibration data). This includes
• the current
DISPLAY (DIS) setting, which deter-
mines which of the meter’s three outputs will be ini-
tially displayed.
• the current
HOLD (HLD) status for Channels 2 and
3, which can be subsequently controlled via the
corresponding button in the
“Live” Output window
All queried values will be loaded into the various data
fields of the
“Live” Output window that now appears.
SELECTING AND MODIFYING THE “LIVE” OUTPUT
At any time, you can select any of the 3000PLUS instru-
ment’s three separate output channels for “live” display
just by clicking the corresponding button (see Section
1.D for a description of the channels). When a channel
4.D OVERVIEW OF “ON-LINE” CONFIGURATION
1
Selecting a given output channel for display in the “Live” Out-
put
window will not affect the front-panel display of the con-
nected 3000PLUS instrument.
2
The corresponding parameter of the presently open configura-
tion will not be affected. Also, you will be informed if any of the
modified configuration values are, for some reason, not accept-
ed by the instrument.
3
By pressing the Release Latched Limits button in the “Live”
Output
window, you can release any and all currently latched
limits (when limit monitoring has been enabled and the meter is
set to latching limits mode).
4
This will reset the existing “CAL” numbers that are used to
determine both absolute and two-point calibration (except for
the Transducer Full-Scale Output (“CAL3”)). The currently
stored calibration values themselves will NOT be changed.
