Adding to the PID List
CAUTION
Improper PID numbers will result in poor system performance or system damage.
PID parameters can be added to a list and recalled for operation and comparison. To add to the list, type a
name for the generator (or other appropriate information) in the generator information box. Select the generator
time constant. Observe the PID gain parameters in the Field Output Data elds. If these gain parameters are
appropriate, click the Add to PID List button. Check for the new parameters by pulling down the PID List (click the
Down arrow). The new gain and time constant parameters should be displayed.

PID parameters can also be removed from the list. To remove a list (record), pull down the PID List and select the
record or list so that the gain and time constant parameters are displayed. Click the Remove Record button and
the listed record is deleted.
Retrieving Existing Data from the PID List
To retrieve existing data, pull down the PID List and select the record or list so that the gain and time constant
parameters are displayed and highlighted. Click the Get from a List button and the listed record input and output
data displays in the boxes.
SETTINGS FILES
MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 software enables you to print a list of DVR2000E settings, save DVR2000E settings
to a le, and open a settings le and upload those settings to a DVR2000E. a settings le may also be opened and
edited within any text editing software.
Printing Settings Files
A printout of DVR2000E settings can be useful for record keeping or comparison purposes. DVR2000E settings
are printed by clicking the print icon or clicking File on the Menu bar and then clicking Print. When the print
command is given, a print dialog box prompts you to select a printer. Once the printer is selected, a second dialog
box (Figure 5-25) provides the opportunity to add a title, unit information, and comments to the settings list. Each
entry is limited to a maximum of 60 characters. After this information is entered, OK is clicked and the report is
printed.
Saving Settings Files
Saving DVR2000E settings to a le for uploading to other DVR2000E units saves setup time when conguring
multiple units to the same conguration. A settings le can also be created in MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 without
being connected to a DVR2000E. The settings of the desired screens can be changed and these settings can
then be saved to a le. Once a settings le is created, it can be edited using any text editing software, and then
saved for uploading.
