define a project ID on a computer using the 824 Utility soft-
ware and then install it into the instrument where it may be
selected for use. For example, one project may require the
“simple SLM” where no data logging is performed and the
weighting and detector controls are available in the data dis-
play (rather than in a menu). Another example may be an
hourly statistical measurement set to run for 8 hours using a
LOG ID.
If data from a previous ID was not
saved, you will be prompted to do so
at this time. This can include data
that was accumulated from measure-
ments or changes in ID settings.
To select an instrument definition (ID), use the
u
or
d
keys to highlight the desired ID. Press the
c
key to select
and activate the it. The
Setup
menu then closes and the main
display appears.
The modification of a selected ID to meet the requirements
of a particular measurement application is an entire topic in
itself which will be addressed in general in the next chapter
and in detail in later chapters individually describing the
setup and operation of each of the instrument types available
for the System 824. However, once these modifications have
been made, the new ID is named and stored as described in
the following section.
Use the
Setup Tools
menu to create new IDs. To do this,
press the
S
SETUP Key and highlight the
Edit Settings
menu option. Press the
T
TOOLS key to display the fol-
lowing screen:
With the
Setup Tools
menu you can create and/or modify
instrument definition (ID) settings. The
Setup Tools
menu
provides the following three options, which are later
described in greater detail:
