Notes.
1. Current Values
The Current Value, shown on the digital indicators at the top of the screen, is the latest instantaneous value and its update
rate is not affected by the recording sample rate.
If the current value in the digital indicator is displayed in red, recording has been stopped for that channel – see Section 4.5.1,
Setting the Recording Parameters.
Traces are shown only when that particular channel is being recorded. When channels are set to stop, the trace continues
to be shown for up to one sample period.
2. Alarm Status
•Flashing Red – Alarm Active and Unacknowledged
•Continuous Red – Alarm Active and Acknowledged
3. Alarm Event and Operator Message Annotations
Alarm Event and Operator Message annotations are not shown on the chart unless enabled –
see 'Chart Annotation' on Page 8 and Section 4.5.2.
If Alarm event annotation is enabled and an alarm becomes active, a red alarm icon surrounded by a channel-colored box is
displayed at the point at which the alarm occured, together with the alarm time and tag.
11:58:00 1.1A High Level
If more than one alarm occurs in the same sample period:
• If the second alarm on a channel becomes active its icon is added behind the first.
• If more than one operator messages is active (max. six) a second icon is added behind the first.
• New alarm icons appear to the left of earlier icons.
• The time and tag of the oldest alarm (right-most icon) only is displayed.

Notes.
While in Historical Review mode:
• Recording of new data continues unless stopped from the Setup Menu – see
Section 3.3.
• Invalid historical data (e.g. when recording has stopped) is denoted by '– – – –' in the
digital indicator.
• Where the trace at the cursor position represents more than one sample, the indicators
flash between the maximum and minimum values of those samples.
• Menu options remain active, allowing the screen interval to be changed, different
scales and channels to be selected, etc.
• Operator messages are added to the alarm event log at the present time, not historical
time.
• All data stored in the instrument's internal memory can be viewed.
• The display can be scrolled back to the start of the oldest data.
•Archiving to removeable media does not occur but all data recorded in the internal
memory buffer during this time is archived on exiting Historical Review mode.

Notes.
• Once internal memory becomes full, oldest data is overwritten by newest data. If
historical review has been selected for some time, the oldest data present may no longer
be available.
• The instrument exits historical review mode automatically after 3 hours or when the
oldest channel data file start time (which changes as files wrap) is earlier than the time
that historical review mode was selected.

Note. Pressing the key also exits Historical Review mode and displays the next
Add one of six preset Operator Messages to the alarm event log. The selected message
is displayed briefly in a dialog box. If Operator Message annotation is selected (see Chart
Annotation below) the message is also added to the chart.
Note. When the instrument is in Historical Review mode, Operator Messages
generated are added at the current time, not the time indicated by the cursor.
If an alarm or operator message is obscuring part of a chart trace, use the Chart
Annotation option to hide or display alarms and messages on the screen.
Select the annotation required. ✓ indicates the annotations selected.
The possible combinations are: No annotation (Alarms and Operator Messages both
disabled); Alarm annotation only or Alarms and Operator Message annotation. Operator
Message Annotation cannot be enabled unless Alarm Annotation is also enabled.
Notes.
• If more than 15 icons are present on the screen, chart annotation is disabled
automatically.
• When chart annotation is disabled, new operator messages and alarms are still added
to the Alarm event log – see Section 2.7
Use the Screen Interval to change the amount of data displayed on the screen. A longer
screen interval displays more data, a shorter screen interval displays data over a shorter
time period, but in more detail. In both cases, the full trace is preserved by plotting the
maxiumum and minimum samples for each display point.
Longer interval =
better overview
Shorter interval
= more detail
The maximum screen interval is determined by the sample rate.
•A 'Please Wait' dialog box appears while the instrument retrieves data from storage.
• Selecting a different screen interval does not affect the rate at which data is sampled.
• When in historical review mode, changing the scan interval may cause the time at the
cursor position to change slightly.

Use this menu to stop and start recording or change the sample rate for the channels in the
current Process Group.
The Primary and Secondary sample rates allow a slow rate to be selected for normal
conditions and a faster rate for abnormal alarm conditions in order to record the maximum
amount of detail. The rates are set during configuration – see Section 4.5.1.
Notes.
• Switching between primary & secondary sample rates does not affect the screen
interval on the Chart View.
• When the channels are set to 'Stop' the instantaneous values in the associated
indicator are displayed in red and, after the end of the next sample period, no further
samples are plotted on the associated traces.
• Digital recording channels can only be set to 'Stop' or 'Go'.
• Recording control can also be implemented using digital sources – see Sections 4.5.1
and 4.6.1.
If selected, the date of the oldest unarchived data is set to that of the oldest data in the
internal flash memory. This allows all data in the internal memory to be re-archived to
external media.
Note. Ideally, a blank media storage card should be inserted prior to selecting this
function. If the original archive files are still present on the inserted card after Reset
acrchiving, the new, re-archived files are annotated '_1' to distinguish them from the
original archive files, e.g.
original archive file:10_00 25Feb02 Zone abc.d00
re-archived file: 10_00 25Feb02 Zone abc_1.d00

Places the archive media on-line, starting the archiving process. Any un-archived data is
stored automatically to the removeable media. If there is un-archived data more than one
day old, a selection box is displayed – see 'Update' overleaf.
Notes.
• When an archive media card/disk is inserted, it is placed automatically on line.
• The On-line function is disabled (greyed out) in the Setup Menu when in Historical
Review mode.
Places the archive media off-line. Recording of channel data into internal memory
continues uninterrupted but archiving to the removeable media is suspended until it is put
on-line again.
Notes.
• Always set the external media Off-line before removing it.
• The Off-line function is disabled (greyed out) in the Setup Menu when in Historical
Review mode.

3.4Archiving
Recorded data, logs and configuration files stored on the instrument's internal memory can be archived to files created on removeable
media. Parameters for archiving Process Groups 1 and 2 data are setup independently.
Note. For further information on Archiving refer to Section 4.5.6 – Archiving Configuration.
3.4.1SmartMedia Handling and Care
Note. The instrument is designed to work only with 3.3V SmartMedia cards.
Follow the manufacturers' recommendations.
1) Avoid touching the gold connectors on SmartMedia cards to prevent damage to the card from static electricity. Before touching
a memory card, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object.
2) Keep the gold contacts on the card clean to prevent card corruption on insertion of the card. Clean the contacts using a soft, clean
cloth before re-insertion in the instrument.
3) Do not bend the card or subject it to impacts.
4) Keep the card in an anti-static film case when not in use.
5) Do not place the card in direct sunlight.

3.4.4Archive File Types
Archive files created by the instrument are given filenames
automatically. Each type of archived file is given a different file
extension:

3.4.5Channel Data Files
Channel data files can be configured to contain data gathered over
a predefined period of time using the 'New File Interval' setting.

ylhtnoM>gatemanelif<*>raey,htnom<
enoN>gatemanelif<
*nommoCnites'tamrofetaD'ehtotgnidroccadettamroF
Note. The New File Interval is set in the Configuration
level – see Section 4.5.6.
In addition to new files being created according to the New File
Interval selection, they are also created in the following
circumstances if automatic update is enabled and the media is
on-line or if a manually triggered update is in progress:
• The instrument's power is lost then restored.
• The instrument is taken offline and the archive media
removed, replaced or refitted.
• The instrument's configuration is changed.
• One of the current files exceeds the maximum
permissible size.
When one of these conditions occurs, new channel data files are
created for each enabled group and the file extension index on
each new file is incremented by one from the previous file.
Example – if the original file had an extension of .*D00, after one
of the above events a new file will be created with the same
filename but an extension of .D01.

Note.
•Hourly files start exactly on the hour.
•Daily files start at 00:00:01.
•Monthly files start at 00:00:01 on the first of the month.
3.4.7Log files
The Alarm Event, Totalizer and Audit Logs are each archived into
one file. The filenames have the following formats, with the date
and the time indicating the first entry in the file:
eliFgoLemaneliF
tnevEmralA00e.>emanelif<*>yy,mm,dd<>nimruoh<
rezilatoT00t.>emanelif<*>yy,mm,dd<>nimruoh<
tiduA00a.>gattnemurtsni<*>yy,mm,dd<>nimruoh<
If one of the archive log files becomes full (>64000 entries) a new
file is created with an extension incremented by 1, e.g. a01, e01
etc.
Note. Totalizer logs are created only if the totalizer
option is fitted.
3.4.8Online/Offline
Before data can be archived to external media, the external
media must be placed on-line and one or more archive file
enables must be set.
• External archive media is placed on-line automatically
when inserted.
• External archive media is set on-line and off-line in the Set
up menu – see Section 3.3.
•To avoid loss of data, external media must be set off-line
before removal.
Note. Data stored in the internal memory buffer can
still be stored to the archive media when the archive media
is placed on-line again (providing it is not off-line so long that
the un-archived data in the internal memory is overwritten).
