2.2 Device configuration
You may configure the device via PC using the software Tango-Utilities or manually.
2.2.1 Configuration using Tango-Utilities
For configuring the device via PC, you have to install the TANGO Driver and Tango-Utilities software first
(section 1.5). Possible settings in Tango-Utilities are adjusted in the Setup tab. In the column Display
use the check boxes to enable individual values and comboboxes to set the graphic refresh rate for display.
Several values offer optional parameters, which you may set in the column Options. By the buttons
Open
and
Save
you may open a configuration from the PC or save the current one to it. The same can be done
by using the menu points File → "‘Open Configuration"’ and File → "‘Save Configuration As"’. The
current configuration is transmitted to Tango_Plus by clicking on
Apply
.
In the column Storage the correspondig storage conditions are adjusted. The storage can be turned off,
limited to one finish result or done in regular intervals. For the interval time span several values are provided
from 62, 5 ms up to 60 min depending on the measurement value. Even if the interval storage is selected
a finish result over the whole measurement time is calculated and stored additionally. This would always be
saved, even if the intervall storage would have been aborted because of full memory. In this case the record
symbol would stop blinking.
NOTICE! For the interval storage of the percentiles only the same interval time span
can be selected.
If Synchronisation is enabled, the interval storage will be synchronised with the full hours of day time. So
every full hour the current interval is closed and a new one is started. The clock is set every time, when
connecting Tango_Plus to Tango-Utilities.
