VTI Instruments EX1629 - General Web

VTI Instruments Corp.
68 EX1629 Web Page Operation
GENERAL WEB PAGE OPERATION
When initial connection is made to the EX1629, the instrument home page, Index, appears. This
page displays instrument-specific information including:
Name
Serial number
IP address
MAC address
Firmware version (also visible in the bottom right corner of every page)
Date of last full calibration
Presence of nonvolatile self-calibration data
This page is accessible from any other instrument page by clicking on the EX1629 web page
header.
The EX1629 command menu is displayed on the left hand side of every internal web page. The
entries on the command menu represent three types of pages:
Status This type of page performs no action and accepts no entries. It provides operational
status and information only. The Index page is an example of a status page.
Action This type of page initiates a command on the instrument, but does not involve
parameter entry. The Reboot page is an example of an action page.
Entry This type of page displays and accepts changes to the configuration of the instrument.
The Time Configuration page is an example of an entry page.
Use of the entry-type web pages in the EX1629 are governed by a common set of operational
characteristics:
Pages initially load with the currently-entered selections displayed.
Each page contains a Submit button to accept newly entered changes. Leaving a page before
submitting any changes has the effect of canceling the changes, leaving the instrument in its
original state.
Navigation through a parameter screen is done with the Tab key. The Enter key has the same
function as clicking the Submit button and cannot be used for navigation.
