8
on for 24 seconds and the Menu button would give the current accumulated
dose in the display for 14 seconds. In the background, the instrument
would perform the diagnostics and record the current status, dose and dose
rate into the histogram memory with each pushing of the button (Manual
histog. Shortcut). Otherwise, the histogram would record the dose and
dose rate on every preprogrammed time interval.
In this mode the instrument could also operate in the Sequential Alarm
mode, which means that when the current Alarm threshold is exceeded and
the alarm triggers on, the pressing of the button would activate the next
Alarm Threshold in the sequence and the instrument would be silenced.
This mode would be most suitable for Fire Fighters and other workers who
need to concentrate on the task at hand rather than the operation of the
meter. When the daily activities are over, the instrument would be
connected to the CSW-31 software where the histogram would be recorded.
4.2 Normal Usage of the Buttons
Normally the Menu button is pressed to activate the user
interface menu and to scroll through the various functions. When
the desired function is in the display, the On/Off button is
pressed to activate the next level of display. Typically this level
shows the currently active configuration of the instrument.
Generally the buttons function in the menu as follows:
Short press of the Menu button scrolls down in the
menu.
Intermediate press of the Menu button scrolls up.
Long press of the Menu button goes back in the menu.
Short press of the On/Off button goes forward in the
menu.
Intermediate press of the On/Off button selects the
active blinking value.
Long press of the On/Off has no function.
4.3 Special Feature: Shortcut-Function
Both buttons can be programmed with two additional operations
when the display of the instrument shows the normal dose rate
values. These operations can be set with the CSW-31 software.
An intermediate or long pressing of the button is used to
activate the Shortcut-function.
For example, the On/Off-button can be programmed so that the
long pressing switches the instrument off. The default is through
the Menu operation. Alternatively, the Menu-button can be
programmed to perform the Manual Histogram Storage with an
intermediate pressing of the button and Change Histogram State
with a long pressing. With this programming it is easy to pick up
the new measurements from several different rooms/spaces
when performing the Plant surveillance.
