LEARNT PROGRAM
FACILITIES
The instrument is
able to store
a series
of commands,
which
may be actioned later
as a
learnt program.
A learnt
program is useful where
a test sequence is used
repeatedly,
as,
for
example, in production
testing.
Up to
eighteen
programs may be
stored.
Each learnt program
instruction is equivalent
to a single menu entry.
A set-up recall instruction allows
a complete
instrument set-up to
be
recalled.
This
reduces the number of instructions
necessary when
altering groups
of settings
throughout a test. Single acting
instructions need
be used only for
sequential
operations.
The learnt program facilities are
presented under
three hard keys, LEARN PROG,
EXECUTE PROGRAM, and
STATUS.
The
LEARN PROG functions are:
Learn
Sets the instrument into
the learn program mode
in which
it interprets
each command as a learn
program instruction.
Programs are learnt
under
program
numbers 1
through 9.
Edit Allows
a learnt program
to be modified. Only programs
1
to
9 may
be
edited. To
edit a program
in non-volatile memory
(programs 10 to
18)
copy the program
to a
program number between
1 and
9,
edit
it,
clear
the
original program
and
copy back.
Clear Clears
an unwanted
learnt progam from
memory.
Copy Copies a complete
learnt program
under another program
number. This
facility is used for
transferring
a learnt program
to
non-volatile
memory.
It may also be
used, with EDIT,
to derive one program from
another.
EXECUTE
PROGRAM allows
a selected
program to be executed.
The
STATUS
1,
PROGRAM
pages show the memory
space
available
for program
storage.
1.1
PROGRAM STORAGE
Programs
1 through
9 are held in
the battery-maintained
memory. There
is also
room for nine programs
in non-volatile
memory,
under program numbers
10
through 18. Use COPY
to transfer
important programs
to locations 10
through 18:
the original programs
may then
be
cleared,
so that
other programs may
be learnt.
1.2
PROGRAM KEYSWITCH
A PROGRAM keyswitch
on the instrument
rear panel
may be set
to protect the
learnt programs in non-volatile
memory. Two
switch
settings are used:
•
The
SUPERVISOR
setting
allows learnt
programs
to be stored in,
or recalled
from, any location
from 1
through 18.
All programs
may be cleared.
•
The NORMAL
setting allows
learnt
programs
to be recalled from any
location,
but stored only
in locations
1 through
9. Only programs
1 through
9
may
be
cleared.
