SAFETY NOTES

WARNING
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside the apparatus, or disconnection of the protective earth terminal is likely to make the apparatus dangerous under some fault conditions. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
Note: in order to comply with the requirements of safety standard BS EN61010, the recorder shall have one of the following as a disconnecting device, fitted within easy reach of the operator, and labelled as the discon­necting device.
a. A switch or circuit breaker which complies with the requirements of IEC947-1 and IEC947-3 b. A separable coupler which can be disconnected without the use of a tool c. A separable plug, without a locking device, to mate with a socket outlet in the building.
1. Before any other connection is made, the protective earth terminal shall be connected to a protective conductor. The mains (supply voltage) wiring must be terminated within the connector in such a way that, should it slip in the cable clamp, the Earth wire would be the last wire to become disconnected.
2. In the case of portable equipment, the protective earth terminal must remain connected (even if the recorder is isolated from the mains supply), if any of the I/O circuits are connected to hazardous voltages*.
3. The mains supply fuse within the power supply is not replaceable. If it is suspected that the fuse is faulty, the manufacturer's local service centre should be contacted for advice.
4. Whenever it is likely that protection has been impaired, the unit shall be made inoperative, and secured against accidental operation. The manufacturer's nearest service centre should be contacted for advice.
5. Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened apparatus under voltage, should be avoided as far as possi­ble and, if inevitable, shall be carried out only by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.
6. Where conductive pollution (e.g. condensation, carbon dust) is likely, adequate air conditioning/filtering/sealing etc. must be installed in the recorder enclosure.
7. Signal and supply voltage wiring should be kept separate from one another. Where this is impractical, shielded cables should be used for the signal wiring.
8. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment might be impaired.
* A full definition of 'Hazardous' voltages appears under 'Hazardous live' in BS EN61010. Briefly, under normal op­erating conditions, hazardous voltages are defined as being > 30V RMS (42.2V peak) or > 60V dc.

SYMBOLS USED ON THE RECORDER LABELLING

One or more of the symbols below may appear as a part of the recorder labelling.

USER GUIDE

1 INTRODUCTION

This document describes the installation, operation and configuration of a paperless graphic recorder. The recorder comes in two versions, which differ in physical size, and in the number of I/O channels and options available, but oth­erwise are identical (i.e. the operation and configuration procedures are the same for both).
The standard recorder comes equipped for FTP transfer and is also fitted with 'Bridge' (Remote viewing) software.

1.1 UNPACKING THE RECORDER

The recorder is despatched in a special pack, designed to give adequate protection during transit. Should the outer box show signs of damage, it should be opened immediately, and the recorder examined. If there is evidence of damage, the instrument should not be operated and the local representative contacted for instructions. After the recorder has been removed from its packing, the packing should be examined to ensure that all accessories and documentation have been removed. The packing should then be stored against future transport requirements.

2 INSTALLATION

2.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Figures 2.1a and 2.1b give installation details for the small and large frame cases respectively.
Note: It is recommended that the rear face of the panel be centre-punched at suitable positions to locate the tips of the case clamps. Otherwise, particularly on smooth surfaces, the clamps can 'wander' as they are tightened, leading to inefficient clamping and possible damage to the recorder mounting slots.
The unit is inserted through the panel aperture from the front of the panel. With the weight of the recorder supported, a panel clamp is inserted into each of the mounting slots (one each on the left- and right-hand sides). The jacking screws are then tightened sufficiently to clamp the recorder into position. EXCESS FORCE SHOULD NOT BE USED IN TIGHTENING THESE SCREWS.

WARNING
DC supply voltages must never be applied to recorders fitted with isolated transmitter power supplies.
Note: The minimum recommended wire size is 20AWG equivalent to 16/0.2 (0.5mm2).
LINE SUPPLY
The supply voltage to the recorder is terminated using an IEC socket which is connected to the mating plug at the rear of the recorder. The recorder is suitable for use with all ac voltages between 85 and 265 V RMS (47 to 63 Hz), and requires 60 VA max. power. For recorders without transmitter power supplies, supply voltages between 110V dc and 370V dc are also suitable.
LOW VOLTAGE SUPPLY OPTION
Not suitable for recorders fitted with the isolated transmitter power supply option. The low voltage supply option is terminated at a three-pin connector (plug mounted on recorder - socket on supply cable) as shown in figure 2.2.2. The option allows the use of ac or dc supplies with the following characteristics:
AC: 20 to 42V RMS (45 to 400 Hz) DC: 20 to 54V (See warning above) Power: 60VA max.

2.3.1 Stylus
A stylus suitable for use on the touch screen is located in a storage area to the left of the Compact Flash/SD Card slot.
2.3.2 Card slot
The slot for the Compact Flash or SD card is located centrally behind the flap. If an SD card is already fitted, it is removed by pressing on the card, to unlatch it, then pulling the card out of the slot. If a Compact Flash card is already fitted, it is removed by a double operation of the eject button. See details in figures 2.3.2a and 2.3.2b, below
Caution Removal of the memory device whilst archiving is in progress causes irreparable damage to the filing structure on the device, rendering it unusable. For this reason, archiving should be suspended (section 4.1) (wait for the green section of the disk icon (section 3.1.3) to go ‘white’) before the device is removed. It is strongly recom­mended that the 'Remove Media' facility described in section 3.1.4 (Summary menu) be used to ensure that it is safe to remove the memory device. For recorders fitted with a lockable flap, see also section 2.4.

2.4 LOCKABLE FLAP OPTION

This option allows the access flap below the display screen to be locked against unauthorized access to the Compact Flash/SD card. It also provides some protection (in the form of a warning message) against the inadvertent removal of such a card whilst archive data is being written to it. Removal of the memory device whilst it is being written to will not only corrupt the current archive, but might also damage the memory device irreparably, rendering it unusable. See also section 3.1.4.
Notes:
1. Control of the flap lock is available only to users with ‘Archiving Control’ permission enabled.
2. Control of the flap lock is not possible via Bridge software.
3. The description below applies only to Archive data.
2.4.1 Flap lock operation
ARCHIVE INACTIVE
1. Touch the root menu or alarm status area at the top of the screen.
2. Touch the ‘Unlock Flap’ key (figure 2.4.1a).
3. Archiving is suspended, the internal solenoid releases the catch, to allow the flap to be opened, and a pop-up mes­sage appears ‘OK to remove archive media’ (figure 2.4.1b).
4. After approximately five seconds, the solenoid returns the catch to the locked position. The flap can be returned to the closed position whether or not the flap lock is engaged. It is up to the user to ensure that the flap is properly closed and locked.

ARCHIVE ACTIVE
1. Touch the root menu key or alarm status area at the top of the screen.
2. Touch the ‘Unlock Flap’ key (figure 2.4.1a).
3. The flap unlocks for 5 seconds in the normal way (to allow access to the stylus and the usbfront port), but a warn­ing message appears on the screen (figure 2.4.1c). a) If the ‘Cancel’ key is operated, the message disappears. Subsequently, if this is a Demand Archive the ‘De-
mand archive finished’ message appears when the archive is complete. Archiving is not suspended, so operate the ‘Suspend Archiving’ key before removing the memory device. This ensures that no attempt will be made by the recorder to write to the device until ‘Resume Archiving’ is operated.
b) If the ‘Cancel’ key is not operated (the warning message remains on the screen), then when the archive is com-
plete, archiving is automatically suspended and the flap unlocks again for five seconds, allowing the memory device to be removed. The message on the screen changes to ‘OK to remove archive media’ (figure 2.4.1b), although, for demand archives this is masked by the ‘Demand archive finished’ message.
DO NOT REMOVE Archive Media!
Will advise when OK to remove...

3 PROCESS VARIABLE DISPLAY

The operator interface consists of a touch-sensitive screen, showing either process variable values in one of a number of formats, or, showing configuration or operational details for use in setting up the recorder. This section (3) describes the process variable displays. Section 4 describes the Configuration displays.
Figure 3, below, depicts a typical trend display for a large-frame unit and gives details of the various areas of the dis­play page. The small frame display is similar, but the navigation keys are printed on a strip below the chart area instead of being drawn on the screen.
Notes:
1. Dialogue boxes, message boxes etc. cause Process Variable displays to 'freeze' for as long as the box is on display. Root and Option menus (amongst others) time-out (i.e. are removed from the display) after ap­proximately one minute. Messages, however, are displayed until the operator takes action to remove them. It should be noted, especially, that several message boxes may be active at one time, but only the oldest one is visible, until it is removed to reveal the 'next oldest' message, and so on.
2. Many of the screen components can be customised as to colour/size etc. as described in section 4.6.10 (Customise).

TRUNCATION OF NUMERIC VALUES

If the amount of space on the display page is insufficient to display the full width of the process variable or scale value, then the displayed value is rounded down and the number of decimal places reduced. If the width is still too restricted, the value is displayed in 'scientific' format, or if this is still too wide, the final visible character of the integer part of the value is replaced by a '?' (as depicted in figure 3.4.4b)

CURRENT TRACE ALARM ICONS

In each of the different types of PV display, each channel's faceplate gives the status of the channel's alarms. The status of each alarm is shown by one of the icons depicted in table 3, either flashing (if it is active and unacknowledged) or on continuously (if it is active and acknowledged). (See section 3.1.4, below, for a description of how to acknowledge alarms.) Absolute alarm threshold icons and deviation alarm bars appear in any display which includes a scale (except circular charts). For deviation alarms the bar stretches from (Reference - Deviation) to (Reference + Deviation).
Note: 'Trigger' alarms do not display threshold marks or bars, or faceplate symbols.

3.1 STATUS BAR

This appears across the top of the display, and contains the items described below.
3.1.1 Current access level
There are four access levels available (Logged out, Operator, Engineer and Service), and the current level is displayed in this key at the top left hand corner of the display. Touching this key calls the login page as described in section 3.3.1 (Access to configuration) below. If a user has been added (using the 'Add User' part of the Security setup - section
4.4.3, below), then the 'Full User Name' is displayed instead of the access level.
3.1.2 Page name
Initially this shows the current group's descriptor. The name changes according to context for example 'Operator' or 'Config-Archive' If the Batch option is fitted, this area contains batch information as well as the page name. Touching the area calls the Batch Status page. See section 4.3.10 for further Batch details.

3.1.3 Alarm indication
This area of the display can contain a number of status icons: Instrument alarm, Channel alarm, Battery change, Disk
status, FTP in progress, Configuration locked, and so on. Pressing this area of the screen calls the 'Summary menu' -
(section 3.1.4) allowing the user to view active instrument alarms, to acknowledge all channel alarms, to display the Alarm Summary or Message Log page. Media removal strategy is also controlled from this pop-up. If the access flap 'Lock' option is fitted, see also section 2.4.
For channel alarm symbols refer to 'Current Trace Alarm Icons', above.
INSTRUMENT ALARM
This indicator appears, flashing, if any of the following errors are active. The instrument alarm summary page, de­scribed in Section 3.1.4, allows the user to view such instrument alarms as are active.
Archive failed -(message) Message explains archive failure. Battery-backed RAM cleared This message appears if the battery has failed, and the unit has been switched off. Clock failure Internal clock was corrupt at power up, or the time has never been set. Can be

3.1.3 ALARM INDICATION (Cont.)
CHANNEL ALARM
This red 'bell' indicator appears if any channel is in alarm. The symbol is illuminated continuously if all alarms are acknowledged or flashes if any active alarm is unacknowledged. Refer to 'ALARM ACKNOWLEDGEMENT' below, for details of how to acknowledge alarms.
CHANGE BATTERY
This flashing indicator first appears when the battery voltage (checked every 15 minutes) indicates that the battery is approaching the end of its useful life. The indicator continues to flash until the battery is replaced (B2.2 in Annex B). The indicator does not appear if the battery is not fitted.
DISK ICON
This shows the free space available on whatever mass storage medium is fitted (if any), and selected for Archive desti­nation (note 1). The disk icon appears soon after the device is inserted (but see note 2). During archiving, the colour of the central area of the disk changes to green (see note 3). No other disk activity (e.g. save/restore configuration) is indicated.
This area of the icon coloured
green during any archive activity
(not necessarily to the device
selected in Archive configuration).
99%
Figure 3.1.3 Archive activity indication
Notes
1. The icon appears only when a memory device is present, AND when that memory device has been se­lected in the 'Archive to media' selection in archive configuration (section 4.3.5). For example: if a memory stick is inserted in ‘usbfront’, but Archive to Media is set to 'mediacard', then the disk icon ap­pears only if a suitable card is present in the 'mediacard' slot.
2. When a disk is inserted into a USB floppy disk drive which is connected to the recorder, the disk icon appears only after the disk has been accessed, (either by reading from it or writing to it), or after the file system has been opened by touching the ‘file’ key. (This note does not apply for disks which have been inserted before the disk drive is plugged in.)
3. The central area goes green whenever local archiving is taking place - not only when archiving is taking place to the memory device selected in Archive configuration.
FTP ICON
The FTP icon appears to the right of the disc icon position whenever transfer activity is taking place.
CONFIGURATION LOCKED INDICATOR
This symbol appears only when Bridge software is being used, in the following situations:
1. Whilst units are 'synchronising' configuration changes
2. Whilst configuration is taking place. If the reconfiguration is taking place at the host pc (Bridge 'Full' only), then the symbol appears at the target instrument, and vice-versa.
TRIAL MODE INDICATOR
This symbol is displayed whilst the recorder Trial Mode (section 4.3.21) is enabled.

ALARM SUMMARY PAGE
As shown in figure 3.1.4d, below, the alarm summary page contains the following information for the current group:
1. Alarm identifier. This appears as a point ID, followed by the relevant alarm number in parentheses. For example, Alarm 1 on maths channel 6 would appear as: D6 (1). Maths channels are prefixed by 'D'. Totalisers are prefixed by 'T' and Counters are prefixed by 'C'. Input channels are not prefixed.
2 Alarm threshold for absolute alarms only 3 The current process value for the point 4 An alarm symbol (see Table 3). Alarm symbols flash until acknowledged.
Notes:
1. Alarms are always listed in Point/Alarm order with input channels first, followed by derived channels, totalisers and counters, if these options are fitted.
2 When the alarm source returns to its non-alarm state: Unlatched alarms are removed from the list whether
or not they have been acknowledged; latched alarms remain displayed until acknowledged. See section
4.3.3 for a description of alarm types and actions.
3. There are no time or history components associated with the Alarm Summary. If Alarm messages have been enabled in the relevant group's configuration (section 4.3.2), then alarm initiation/acknowledgement times and dates can be found from the trend and trend history displays, described in section 3.4 or in Mes­sage log described later in this section.
4. If an alarm is active on a channel which is not included in any group, then although the channel alarm symbol will flash, the alarm will not appear in any of the alarm summary pages.

SORT
If Sort is Off (default), the groups appear in Group number order with Group 1 at the top and group 12 at the bottom. The key legend is ‘Sort (ON)’.
If Sort is On, those groups with batches running appear (in group number order) at the top of the list, followed by any remaining groups (also in group number order). The key legend is ‘Sort (OFF)’.

MESSAGE LOG
Note: Message log can also be selected using the Root menu/Goto View/Message log key. This goes immedi­ately to the first Message Log page for the current group to the screen (i.e. the 'Goto Group' menu does not appear).
If there are more messages than can be displayed in the height of the screen, a scroll bar appears to allow 'hidden' mes­sages to be displayed.
Messages are retrieved from the history files in batches of 100 messages. If there are more than 100 messages, 'Earlier messages..' appears after the hundredth message. Touching 'Earlier messages..' calls the option menu, and touching 'Earlier messages..' in this menu, calls the next batch of 100, and so on. If applicable, operating 'Later messages..' / 'Later messages..' calls the previously displayed 100 messages.
As can be seen from figure 3.1.4g the list of messages can be 'filtered' both by type and by time. For example, setting the message type to 'Alarm' and the period filter to 'Last Day' excludes all messages except alarm messages which have occurred within the previous 24 hours. (For clarity, the figure shows both filters open. In fact, only one can be open at a time)

3.3 FIRST SWITCH-ON

When power is applied the recorder initialises, and once this process is complete, the home page is displayed. It is unlikely that this will contain any useful information because the input channels will not, as yet, have been configured to suit the type of input signals being applied to them, as described in section 4.
Notes: 1 There is no on/off switch associated with the recorder. 2 Date, time and the message 'Power Up' are printed on the chart each time power is applied to the recorder,
followed by a similar message giving 'Config Revision' and 'Security Revision'.
3 A red line is drawn across the width of the chart at power up
The recorder has four security levels as follows:
Logged out Initially, no access to recorder configuration is possible. Only Archive, Login/security and the System
'About' functions can be accessed - via the root menu. Limited or full access can be permitted from 'Engineer' level.
Operator* No access to recorder configuration is possible until access permissions have been set up. Section 4.4.1
describes how limited or full access can be permitted by an operator with 'Engineer' level access.
Engineer* Accessed initially, by entering '100' as the password (section 3.3.1, below). Full access to all recorder
functions is available. Section 4.4.1 describes how the Engineer level password can be edited and an Operator password can be entered if required. The section also describes how access permission to some or all of the recorder functions can be granted, or not, to individual user names and default security levels (except 'Service').
Service Full access to all recorder functions and to areas of recorder memory for diagnostic purposes. For use
only by Service Engineers.
*Note: For units with the Auditor 21CFR11 Option enabled, the default Engineer and Operator passwords are both '100'.

Notes:
1. For units which have the Auditor 21CFR11 Option enabled, the default Operator password is '100'. Other­wise no password is required for default Operator level access. In either case the Operator access level password can be edited in 'Security' configuration. (Section 4.4.1.)
2. The login screen, above, can also be called by operating the Root menu, then 'Operator' then 'Security', then 'Login'. In such a case, the screen reverts to the 'Operator' page rather than returning to the home page once login has been achieved.
3. Figure 3.3.1a shows 'Login by user list' which is the default method. If either Auditor option and/or the Security management option is enabled, an alternative procedure is possible where each user has to enter a name and associated password - i.e. there is no list of users/access levels to choose from. See section 4.4.2 (Management) for details.

TEXT STRING ENTRY
The keyboard which appears when the password area is touched is the same as that which appears when any non-nu­meric text string entry is required (e.g. channel descriptor). Figures 3.3.1b and 3.3.1c below are an attempt, within the limitations of the illustrating process, to depict the available keyboards and thus the available character set. Actual entry of the text string is by touching the relevant keys.
When editing existing text strings, the existing text string appears highlighted, and will be replaced in its entirety by the first character entered. To avoid this, the left arrow key* can be touched to 'unhighlight' it. The down and up arrow keys can be used to scroll through previously entered text strings.
Immediately below the keyboard are six keys with the functions listed below. When active, the background colour changes to yellow for as long as the key is active.
Shift* Once the shift key has been pressed, the next-entered letter appears as a capital; subsequent letters are in
lower case. Caps* When pressed, all subsequent letters appear as capital letters until the Caps key is operated again BSpc This backspace key deletes character to the left of the cursor. Ovr If selected, the next-entered character replaces (overwrites) the existing character to the right of the cursor
position. If not selected, the next-entered character in inserted into the existing text string at the cursor posi-
tion. Ok Used to save the new text string and to return to the page from which the keyboard was called. Cancel Causes a return to the page from which the keyboard was called without saving the new string.
*Notes
1. The character on each display key is always a capital letter, whether or not the actual character being entered is in capitals or lower case.
2. The cursor keys mimic the function of the left and right arrow Navigation keys.
3. As an alternative, text may be entered using a suitable keyboard connected via the USB port behind the
access flap or (if the relevant option is fitted) one of the USB ports at the rear of the instrument (section
2.2.1).

3.4 DISPLAY MODES

The display modes described below allow the currently displayed group's process values (channels, totalisers etc.­known collectively as points) to be displayed as vertical, horizontal or circular 'chart' traces, as vertical or horizontal bargraphs or as numeric values. The various display modes are cycled-through using the up/down arrow keys, or a spe­cific mode (or view) can be selected from the Root Menu 'Goto View' key. Groups can be scrolled through using the left/right arrow keys. The Home key returns the user to the Home page (defined in Configuration/Views - section
4.3.4) from anywhere in the Operator or Configuration pages in the recorder. When dispatched, the Home page is
Group 1, vertical trend display. See also the Screen builder description in section 7.
3.4.1 Vertical Trend display
This display (figure 3.4.1b) shows each point in the display group as though it were being traced on a white chart. It is possible to change the appearance of the chart in the System key ‘Customise’ area of configuration (section 4.6.10). It is recommended that some thought be given to ensuring good contrast between trace colours and background colour.
One of the channels is said to be the 'current' or 'scale' channel. This channel is identified by its diamond shaped pen icon and by its descriptor, digital value and scale being displayed on a 'faceplate' across the full width of the screen, above the chart. Faceplates for all the group channels can be displayed, by using the Faceplates On/Off key in the op­tion menu. If selected On, faceplates (showing colour, descriptor, digital value and units) for all the group's channels appear either above the current channel's faceplate or, if there are too many to fit across the screen, at the right hand edge of the screen. When necessary, a slider bar appears to allow further (hidden) faceplates to be viewed.
Each channel in the display group becomes the 'current' channel, in turn, for approximately 10 seconds – i.e. the chan­nels are cycled-through, starting with the lowest numbered channel. Once the final channel in the group has been dis­played for 10 seconds, the lowest numbered channel is returned to and the sequence repeats. This scrolling process can be enabled or disabled using the Channel Cycling On (Off) key in the Option menu.
To select a particular channel to be the current channel, the relevant pen icon can be touched. To cycle through the channels manually, the faceplate area is touched repeatedly until the required channel is reached.
If a channel is included in the display group but its status is 'not good' for some reason, then its pen icon is hollow.

3.4.1 VERTICAL TREND DISPLAY (Cont.)
TIME CHANGE RECORDS
For vertical trend mode only, a line is drawn across the width of the chart whenever a time discontinuity in the record occurs. These lines are volatile in real-time i.e. they disappear if the display mode is changed, or if a configuration page is called etc.
Red line A red line is drawn on the trend history chart at power up. Blue line A blue line indicates that recording has been disabled/enabled in Group Configuration (section 4.3.2), or
by a recording job (section 4.7.10). Blue lines are not drawn when the Simulation Option is active.
Green line A green line appears if there has been a time change as a result of a clock job (section 4.7.6), an SNTP
synchronisation or by the operator physically changing the recorder time.
Note: Changes from standard time to daylight saving time and back again are not 'green lined' in this way
TREND HISTORY
Trend history, allows the user to view the history of the display group. The maximum amount that can be reviewed depends on a number of factors, including how many points are configured, how rapidly the traces are changing and so on. At a recording rate of 20 mm/hour (see group configuration - section 4.3.2), with all channels configured, a mini­mum of 30 day's worth of traces is available for viewing, provided that the group contents are not re-configured during this period (in which case, the history starts at the end of the re-configuration). The amount of trace visible on the screen depends on the recording rate, the higher the rate, the less trace is visible at any one time.
Notes:
1. Trend history mode is not available for groups with 'Recording Enable' disabled (Group configuration -
section 4.3.2).
2. Channel cycling is inhibited in trend history mode. To increment the current channel, touch the faceplate.
3. Group faceplates are not displayed in trend history mode.
4. Operation of the Root/Goto View/Message Log key (section 3.2.1), when in history mode, displays a mes-
sage log page containing messages which occurred at or near the selected cursor time.
5. With A/B switching selected, traces are displayed with the 'A' or 'B' span/zone, colour settings etc. obtain-
ing at the cursor time. See sections 4.3.2, 4.3.3 and 4.7, for more details of A/B switching.
To enter trend history mode, the option key can be used (as shown in figure 3.4.1b), or the trace area of the screen can be continuously touched until the screen blanks prior to re-drawing. A 'Preparing History, please wait' message appears whilst the re-drawing calculation is taking place. Although tracing stops whilst trace history mode is active, no data is lost. Process Variable values are saved in the recorder memory. Alarms are still scanned-for and any associated action taken.
The trend history display is similar to the real-time trend display, with the addition of a slider control and up and down keys for selecting that part of trend history which is to be displayed. The controls are used as follows:
1 Touching the up/down key causes the trace history to move an incremental amount. 2 Holding the up/down key continuously, causes continuous movement. 3 Touching the bar above or below the slider causes a page-height shift. The Page up and Page down keys can also
be used to provide this function
4 Touching and dragging the slider, whilst observing the time/date display, allows the user to select the section of
history exactly.
On first entry to trend history mode, the channel value and the time and date shown in the faceplate are those at the top edge of the chart. Touching the screen causes a cursor to appear at point of screen contact. This cursor can be touched and dragged up and down the screen to provide a reference point on the current trace. The displayed value date and time refer to the cursor intersection with the current channel. To return to real-time trending, the Option key is operated, followed by 'Exit History'.
When back in real-time trending, the Horizontal Trend display can be called using the down arrow key. Alternatively, any one of the enabled display modes (section 4.3.4) can be selected using the Root Menu, 'Goto View' key.

One of the channels is defined as being the 'current' or 'scale' channel and this is identified on the chart by its pen icon being diamond shaped rather than triangular as for non-current channels. If a channel is included in the display group, but its status is 'not good' for some reason, then its pen icon is hollow. Each channel in the display group becomes the 'current' channel, in turn, for approximately 10 seconds – i.e. the channels are cycled-through, starting with the lowest numbered channel. Once the final channel in the group has been displayed for 10 seconds, the lowest numbered chan­nel is returned to and the sequence repeats. This scrolling process can be stopped using the Channel Cycling key in the Option menu.
There are two faceplates associated with this display mode, one above the 'chart', showing the current channel's de­scriptor and its digital value; the other - to the right of the 'chart' - showing a bargraph representation of the current channel's value, together with a scale showing the low and high range values for the channel. Touching either of these faceplates causes the current channel number to increment. To select a particular channel to be the current channel, the relevant pen icon can be touched. In either case, the bargraph and the background colour of the channel descriptor take the colour of the new current channel.
There is no horizontal trend history function. Touching the trace for a few seconds, or using the Option key then 'Enter History' calls the Vertical trend history page described in section 3.4.1, above.
Time and date are printed on the 'chart' immediately to the right of grid lines, and it is to these grid lines that the printed time and date relate.

If this arrow head appears, then touching the message bar calls a pop-up box (figure 3.4.2b) which displays the latest messages. If there are more messages than can be displayed in the box, a slider control appears, which can be used to access previous messages, up to a total of 60 messages. Further messages, cause the oldest messages to be discarded to keep the total to 60.
Note: At power-up, only those messages which occurred within the 'time width' of the page are displayed

3.4.3 Circular Trend
This allows up to 12 points to be traced as though on a circular chart. More than 12 points can be included in the group, but only the first 12 traces and their associated faceplates are included in the real-time display. Entering Trend History mode (by using the Options button or by continuously touching the screen for a few seconds), allows all the points to be reviewed, but only in vertical trend history mode, described in section 3.4.1, above.
For large frame recorders, two alternative views called 'Full Screen' and 'Normal View' are available and are toggled between by means of a push-button key near the top left corner of the screen. In each case, faceplates can be displayed, or not, as required, using the Option key 'Faceplates On/Off' selection. The diameter of the chart is independent of faceplate on/off selection. When quitting History, Normal view is always returned to. Small frame recorders use only ‘full screen’ view, (except when viewed via Bridge software when the small frame recorder behaves in the same way as the large frame recorder).
Notes Alarm icons (section 3) do not appear on circular trend scales.
TREND MODES
The way in which traces are laid down on the chart depends on the action to be taken when the chart is 'full', as set up in group configuration - section 4.3.2. The user can select 'Rotate' or 'New Chart'.
ROTATE
In the following description, the word 'segment' is used interchangeably with 'Major chart division'. The number of Major chart divisions is a function of the selected chart speed, as described in Group Configuration (section 4.3.2).
With 'Rotate' selected, the traces start one major chart division anti-clockwise from the top of the chart and trace clock­wise until they reach the top of the chart ('12 o'clock'). At this point, the chart, complete with time stamps and traces, rotates one major chart division anticlockwise, and the tracing process continues. When the chart is 'full', the oldest segment-full of tracing is removed, leaving an empty segment to be traced-on when the chart rotates.
Figures 3.4.3b and 3.4.3c, below show Circular trending in 'Rotate' mode.
NEW CHART
With 'New Chart' selected, tracing starts at top of the chart (12 o'clock) and continue to trace clockwise round the chart, back up to the vertical. When the chart is full, it is cleared, new timestamps are displayed, and tracing restarts from the top of the chart.
The start time of the tracing can be set as a part ('Start at') of group configuration, the choices available depending on the time per revolution setting. The start time is placed at top centre of the chart, and 'backfilled', clockwise, round to the current time.
Figure 3.4.3a, below, shows New Chart mode.
Note: The use of '12 o'clock' above is intended to be illustrative and only to explain angles in terms of a normal analogue clock face. It does not mean that this position must actually be noon or midnight in real time.

Scales Two scales are provided, one for the left hand side of the chart, the other for the right hand side.
Channel scaling is a part of channel configuration, as described in section 4.3.3, below. The scales apply only to values along the horizontal line through the centre of the chart. Values for other angles (times) can be most easily found from the trace history, selected from the Option key, or by touching anywhere in the chart or in the green background area for a few seconds.
Chart speed This displays the currently selected speed of revolution of the chart. This speed is set up as a
part of Group configuration (section 4.3.2) Faceplates Up to 12 faceplates can be displayed, giving point values and alarm indication. Message Bar The message bar at the bottom of the screen displays the latest message. If an up arrow appears
at the right hand end of the bar, there is more than one message. Touching the message bar calls
a 'View Messages' window, detailing previous messages. See the description in section 3.4.2 for
more details.
FULL SCREEN DISPLAY
As shown in figure 3.4.3c, below, this maximizes the chart diameter, leaving only the chart, chart speed and faceplates (if selected on) on display. The figure shows a view with faceplates selected off. For the large frame recorder, faceplate on/off selection can be made only from one of the other display modes, as the navigation keys are not visible in this display mode.

3.4.3 CIRCULAR TREND (Cont.)
TIMESTAMPS
Time and/or date are displayed at every major chart division. The following rules apply:
1. For chart durations of a week or more, only the date is displayed
2. For chart durations of less than a week, both time and date appear, with the following exception: In 'New Chart' mode (unless the chart 'bridges' midnight), the date appears only at top centre of the chart. All other chart divisions are identified by time only.
OTHER NOTES
1. Adaptive recording results in two traces per trend, as in other trend display modes.
2. For successful circular trend display, 'Circular Settings' must be enabled for the relevant group (section 4.3.2), and 'Circular Trend' must be enabled for the group, in Views configuration (section 4.3.4). If Circular Trend is enabled, but Circular Settings is disabled, then, although the circular chart will appear, it is unlikely that it will contain any trends.
3. The circular chart speed is unaffected by A/B switching of Trend Speed/Interval (section 4.3.2).
4. Circular trends backfill only to the previous power up.

3.4 DISPLAY MODES (Cont.)
3.4.4 Vertical bargraph
Entered from Circular Trend mode by means of the down arrow key, or selected from the Root Menu 'Goto View' key, this display mode shows the Process Variable (PV) values as vertical bars with faceplates containing digital values and alarm data. There are two versions, one with faceplates above the bars (1 to 6 channels - figure 3.4.4a); the other (with faceplates at the right hand edge of the display - figure 3.4.4b) is used where there are more than six channels.
Note: The description above refers to the 180 mm version of the recorder. For the 100 mm version, the faceplates appear above the bars for one or two points, but to the right of the bars for three or more points.
Operation of the option key calls the Option menu display for this display page, allowing faceplates to be selected on or off. This feature is available for vertical trend, circular trend and vertical bargraph displays only.
To call the horizontal bargraph display mode, use the down arrow key. Alternatively, any one of the enabled display modes (section 4.3.4) can be selected using the Root Menu, 'Goto View' key.
Trend history mode is not available from this display mode.
FACEPLATES ABOVE THE BARS
See figure 3.4.4a.
As the number of channels in the display group increases, the bars and their faceplates get narrower,
FACEPLATES AT RIGHT-HAND EDGE
See figure 3.4.4b.
As the number of PVs increases, the bars get narrower. As the bars get narrower, so the scale values become truncated as shown in figure 3.4.4b. The bars have a set minimum width, and if the total number of points in the group cannot be displayed within the width of the screen, a horizontal scroll bar appears, allowing 'hidden' bars to be viewed. Similarly, the faceplates reduce in height to a minimum readable height. If there are more point faceplates than can be accommo­dated within the height of the screen, a vertical scroll bar appears, allowing hidden faceplates to be displayed as re­quired.

2. For large frame recorders, up to 26 points can be displayed simultaneously; for small frame recorders the maximum is 5 points. In either case, if more points are enabled than can be displayed within the height of the screen, a vertical scroll bar appears allowing currently hidden channels to be accessed.
Trend history mode is not available from this display mode.
To call numeric display mode, use the down arrow key. Alternatively, any one of the enabled display modes (section
4.3.4) can be selected using the Root Menu, 'Goto View' key.

3.4.6 Numeric
Entered from Horizontal bargraph mode by means of the down arrow key, or selected using the Root Menu 'Goto View' key, this display mode shows the Process Variable (PV) values as digital values. The format (which is automatically selected) is based on the number of channels in the display group. Figures 3.4.6a, 3.4.6b and 3.4.6c, show typical (large frame) examples of the one, two and three column versions of this display mode respectively. Within each ver­sion, the process variable display areas expand or contract to fill the screen.
Trend history mode is not available from this display mode.
A further operation of the down arrow key returns to Vertical Trend Display mode described in section 3.4.1 above, or if user screens are fitted and enabled, to the first user screen (section 7). Alternatively, any one of the enabled display modes (section 4.3.4) can be selected using the Root Menu, 'Goto View' key.

3.5 OPERATOR NOTES

Note: Operator notes should not be confused with similar messages, (described in section 4.3.8), which appear as a result of job action.
It is possible for the user to enter a note, of up to 120 characters, at any time, from any display page (not from configu­ration pages). Each note is associated with the current display group and becomes a part of that group's history. The notes appear on vertical and horizontal trend displays only, although they can be entered in any display mode. The note appears on the chart and in the Message Log, preceded by the date, time and current full user name, as shown in the first example below. If 'Audit Trail' is enabled, the note contains audit trail information, as shown in the second example below. See section 4.4.2 for details of the Auditor options.

4 SETTING UP THE RECORDER

As described in the 'Access to Configuration' (section 3.3.1) above, the setting-up of the recorder is divided into the following areas:
Archive Section 4.1 - Allows manual archiving of data to a memory device or to a remote host (FTP transfer). Save/restore Section 4.2 - Allows new configurations to be created and saved, and saved configurations to be 're-
stored'. Save/Restore also allows the importing and exporting of User Linearisation Tables and, if the
relevant options are fitted, User Screens and Printer Drivers.
Config Section 4.3 - This is the major channel/alarm option etc. area of configuration. Security Section 4.4 - Allows passwords to be entered and edited and allows the Engineer-level password holder
to enable/disable areas of configuration to Operator-level password holders. New users can be added,
with their own user names, passwords and access level permissions.
Network Section 4.5 - This area sets up the IP address/host names etc. used in FTP transfer, Bridge and SNTP
applications.
System Section 4.6 - Allows
a) Time and date to be set (Clock).
b) Language, date/time format, time zone, and daylight saving start and finish dates to be set (Locale).
c) Software upgrades to be carried out (Upgrade).
d) Input channels to be adjusted for errors in transducer inputs (Input Adjust).
e) Output channels (if fitted) to be adjusted (Output Adjust - see section 9.4).
f) A Master Comms Diagnostics page to be displayed (if Master Comms option fitted and enabled).
g) A Network diagnostics page to be displayed (Ethernet diagnostics).
h) Configuration items (e.g. input channels) to be copied, to speed up configuration (Copy).
i) Search criteria to be entered to allow the user to locate trigger sources for a specific job (Job
search).
j) The appearance of the display screens to be customised (Customise). k) Details of the hardware and software associated with the recorder to be displayed (About).
Note: In all the following descriptions, if a change is made to a menu item, then the item text changes to red, until it is 'applied'

4.1 ARCHIVE

Notes:
1. The archiving functions described below can also be initiated by job action - see section 4.7.15.
2. Archiving is carried out on a group by group basis, with a message being sent to each group when its ar­chive is finished. When all the groups have been archived, a pop-up appears to inform the user that ar­chiving is complete. Because of the sequential nature of this process, the time given in this pop-up is different from the times which appear in the messages generated for the individual groups.
3. For floppy disk drives (connected via a USB port), it is not recommended that archiving be enabled for more than one group (see 'Group' configuration - section 4.3.2)
4.1.1 Local Archive
Removal of the memory device whilst archiving is in progress causes irreparable damage to the filing structure on the device, rendering it unusable. For this reason, archiving should be suspended before the device is re­moved. It is strongly recommended that the 'Remove Media' facility described in section 3.1.4 (Summary menu) be used to ensure that it is safe to remove the memory device. For recorders fitted with a lockable flap, see also section 2.4.

Figure 4.1.1 Local archive configuration
System
Local archive allows the user to initiate data transfer to the device defined in the 'Media' picklist for all groups with 'Archive to Media' enabled (Group configuration - section 4.3.2). Archiving is initiated by touching the relevant ar­chive period key (e.g. Last Day'). The memory device can be selected as 'mediacard' (the integral Compact Flash or SD card), or a USB port can be selected if, for example, a memory stick is to be the destination device. USBfront is lo­cated behind the flap below the screen. If the option is fitted, USB 1 and USB 2 ports are located at the recorder rear panel.
Archiving starts as soon as the selection is made, and cannot be stopped until completed, unless the Cancel Archive key is operated, in which case the archive will be stopped after a confirmatory message has been responded to. The Cancel key is active only if 'Archiving Control' is enabled in Security/Access (section 4.4) for the current login.

4.1.1 LOCAL ARCHIVE (Cont.)
BRING ARCHIVE UP TO DATE
This causes the recorder to archive all history files created since the last manual or automatic (section 4.3.5) archive.
ARCHIVE ALL
This causes the recorder to archive all its history files.
If the memory device becomes full before archiving is complete, archiving pauses and a pop-up request appears, asking for a replacement. If this request is not responded to within 10 minutes of its appearance, archiving is aborted.
Unattended archiving can be paused by the user (e.g. to change media without losing data) by operating the 'Suspend Archiving' / 'Resume Archiving' button. Any archiving in progress is allowed to complete before the 'Suspend Archiv­ing' request takes effect. Transfer activity is indicated in the 'Archive transfer' window.
Below the selection buttons are a number of status windows relating to the selected memory device. 'Media Full' is an estimate, based on the current configuration, of when the memory device will become full. The meanings of the 'Media Size' and 'Free Space' values are self evident.
If automatic archiving is active (section 4.3.5), then automatic and manual archives will operate on a first come-first served basis. Some files will be saved twice in such a circumstance, the later archive's files overwriting any earlier archive's files which have the same name.
ARCHIVING WITH THE LOCKABLE FLAP OPTION
For recorders fitted with the lockable flap (section 2.4) it should be noted that when the flap is opened, archiving is automatically suspended. It is therefore necessary to press on the ‘Resume Archiving’ key before any attempt is made to carry out a demand archive.
Before removing the memory device, archiving should be suspended again, using the ‘Suspend Archive’ key. This ensures that the memory device can be safely removed.

4.1.2 Remote archiving (FTP transfer)
This allows archiving of recorder files, for all groups with 'Archive via FTP' enabled, to a remote computer, connected (using the RJ45 telephone type connector at the rear of the recorder) either directly, or via a network . 'Archive via FTP' is enabled/disabled as part of Group configuration - section 4.3.2.
In order to carry out a successful transfer, details of the remote host must be entered in the Archive section of the 'Config' menu (section 4.3.5).
Note: An FTP server must be running on the remote host.
Figure 4.1.2 shows the menu for remote archiving. The Archive last hour/day etc. keys allow the user to determine which files are to be archived. Selection of 'Bring Archive Up To Date' causes the recorder to select whichever of the Last Hour/Last Day etc. categories is appropriate in order to bring the archive up to date. The 'Last Archive' window shows the time and date of the previous archive. The Archive Transfer window shows archive status as 'Active' or 'In­active'.

Additionally, a user on a remote PC has full viewing capabilities, can extract recorder files at any time, and can access those items of recorder configuration that are associated with the user's login. For successful connection, 'Connect from Remote' must be enabled and the 'Remote user name' and 'Remote password' must be defined in one of the ac­counts (all in the Security access menu (section 4.4.1)).
Notes:
1. In order to view history files when accessing the instrument remotely, the recorder's address, the 'Remote user name' and the 'Remote password' must be supplied to an FTP client such as PC Review or Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
2. When accessing files using Microsoft® Internet Explorer, the address (URL) field can be in one of two forms: a ftp://<instrument IP address>. This allows the user to log in as the anonymous user (if the instrument
has any account with 'Remote user name' set to 'Anonymous' and a blank password).
b ftp://<user name>:<password>@<instrument IP address> to log in as a specific user.
3. For IE5 users only: Microsoft® Internet Explorer displays, by default, history files only. To exit the history folder, either uncheck the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Browsing/"Enable folder view for FTP sites" option, or check the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Browsing/"Use Web based FTP" option.

Where a file name is required, then, if the displayed file name is suitable, operation of the 'Save', 'Restore', 'Import' or 'Export' key will initiate the action. If, instead, a file name has to be entered, this is carried out as follows:
Touching the filename window causes a pop-up menu to appear, giving a list of 'Volumes' in the Flash memory or on the memory device (if inserted). Figure 4.2b shows an imaginary Volume contents list, displayed by touching the name 'user', then operating the down arrow or 'open folder' key. (See section 5, below for more details). Once the correct folder is open, either select an existing file, or enter a new filename, by touching the FileName window and entering the name using the pop-up keyboard(s) as described in section 3.3.1 above. Operation of the Save/Restore key initiates the action.

100/180MM PAPERLESS GRAPHIC RECORDER: USER GUIDE
4.2.1 Save
Touching this item allows the current configuration to be saved in the recorder's memory. Files saved in this way are not in a 'readable' format and are used only for archive /security purposes or for transfer to another, similar, recorder.
SAVE AS
This selection box allows a configuration to be saved, if required, in a format suitable for importing into previous re­corder models. The default is always the current instrument.
4.2.2 Restore
Touching this item allows the user to select or type-in a previously saved configuration file name, which will then be used as the current configuration. Touching the 'Restore' key completes the operation. Check boxes allow one or more of Configuration Data, Security data (note 3), Network data and Screen data to be chosen for the restore function.
Notes:
1 Screen data restores faceplate status for vertical trend and vertical bargraph modes, and user screen infor-
mation (if the option is fitted).
2. If archiving is in progress when a 'Restore' is requested, the Restore operation will be delayed until the archive is complete (maybe several minutes). If required, the 'Cancel Archive' key (section 4.1 above) can be used to speed up the Restore process, at the cost of losing the archive data.
3. If 'Centralised Security' is active (part of Security/Management configuration - section 4.4.2) 'Security Data' is not selectable (either for 'Restore' or for 'New' (below)).
4.2.3 New
Touching this item causes the factory entered default configuration to be loaded for use, or for editing. Operation of the New/Default key completes the operation. Tick boxes allow one or more of Configuration Data, Security data (note 3 above) and Network data to be chosen for the restore default function; only those items which are ticked are replaced by default values.
For recorders with the User Screens option (section 7), a further tick box is displayed - 'Screen Data'
4.2.4 Text
This is identical to the 'Save' function described above, but the configuration is saved in ASCII format, and can be transferred to a computer and read, printed etc. as required. It is not possible, using this means, to modify the configu­ration and then re-load it.
4.2.5 Import screen
This field appears only if the User Screens option (section 7) is fitted, and allows a previously exported User Screen file to be imported.

100/180MM PAPERLESS GRAPHIC RECORDER: USER GUIDE
4.2.6 Export screen
This field appears only if the User Screens option (section 7) is fitted, and allows a User Screen to be exported to a removable memory device or to the internal Flash memory. The exported screen can subsequently be imported either into this recorder or into a different recorder.
4.2.7 Import User Linearisation
User Linearisation
File Name
1) UserLin1 userlin
Import
The Import Linearisation feature allows linearisation tables to be imported either from the Compact Flash/SD card, USB device or if Bridge 'Full' software is fitted, directly from the host PC.
Touching the User Linearisation field allows the user to select which of 'UserLin1' to 'UserLin4' is to contain the im­ported file.
Touching the File Name field, calls a popup menu similar to that shown in figure 4.2b. This allows the user to select the table to be imported.
The file must be comma separated ASCII as follows: n, X1,Y1 X2.Y2 X3,Y3 . . Xn,Yn where 'n' is the total number of XY pairs in the table, and or each pair, X is the input value, and Y is the linearised value corresponding to X. See section 4.3.9 for full details.
Note: Imported linearisation tables will not become effective until after the next configuration 'Apply' opera­tion.
4.2.8 Export User Linearisation
Similar to 'Import user Linearisation', above, the Export Linearisation feature allows linearisation tables created in the recorder to be exported either via the Compact Flash/SD card or if Bridge 'Full' software is fitted, directly to the host PC. See section 4.3.9 for full details.
4.2.9 Import printer driver
Similar to 'Import user Linearisation', above, this allows driver (.uhi) files for new printer types to be imported either via the Compact Flash/SD card, or USB memory stick, or if the Bridge 'Full' option is fitted, directly from the host PC. See section 12 for further details.
Note: Imported printer drivers do not become effective until after the next configuration 'Apply' operation.

4.3 CONFIG KEY

Touching this key calls the top level configuration pick list:
Instrument, Groups, Channels, Views, Archive, Events, Event Buttons,
Messages, User Linearisations, Batch, Maths, Totalisers, Counters, Timers,
Connections, Master Comms, Output Channels, Demand Writes, Emails, Reports.
Notes:
1. Figure 4.3b gives an overview of the configuration menus.
2. If an option is not fitted, it does not appear in the above list.
When making changes to the configuration the name of each changed parameter is displayed in red (instead of the nor­mal black) until the 'Apply/Discard' key has been operated. For example, in channel configuration, if a thermocouple were to be changed from Type J to Type K, 'Lin Type' would appear in red, until the Apply key is operated.
Should an attempt be made to leave configuration with unsaved changes, a warning message appears, allowing the user to apply the changes, to discard the changes or to return to configuration (Cancel).

INSTRUMENT NAME
Allows the entry of an alphanumeric name for the recorder, up to 20 characters long. See section 3.3.1 for text entry techniques.
NORMAL/SAVER DISPLAY
Allows normal and 'saver' display brightnesses to be defined. Defaults are Normal = 100%; Saver = 50%
SAVE AFTER
The number of minutes (between 1 and 99 inclusive), which are to elapse after a screen operation, before the screen brightness changes from 'normal' to 'saver'. Default is 30 minutes.
MODBUS ADDRESS
Allows a Modbus address between 1 and 247 to be set up, for use when the instrument is acting as a Modbus slave.
MODBUS SECURITY DISABLED
When using MODBUS, it is possible, by 'checking' this field to allow a host computer to access the recorder without its first having to supply a valid User name and Password. This box must be checked if this unit is acting as a Modbus slave in order for the unit to be detected. Once communications have been established, Modbus security can be ena­bled, providing that the Slave's Remote user name and password have been entered at the Master. See also section
8.2.4.
COMMS CHANNEL TIMEOUT
Allows a number of seconds (between 1 and 999) to be entered. If none of the channels set to 'Comms' is communi­cated with, within this period, an event source (Comms channel timeout) is set, and remains set until the next communi­cation. An entry of 0 disables the time out.

Checking this box prevents instrument alarm messages from appearing on the screen.
SHOW OPERATOR NOTES LIST
Enabling this field produces a list of 13 entries which can be used in Operator Notes. The first entry is the MAC ad­dress of the recorder and is not editable. The remaining 12 entries (of up to 60 characters each) are freely editable.
Any one of these predefined notes can be selected (as described in section 3.5) by touching the Operator Note area continuously for two seconds, then touching the required note from the picklist which appears. Once selected the predefined note can be edited before use, like a normal Operator Note. Such editing does not affect the original note entered here in Instrument Configuration.

4.3.2 GROUP CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
GROUP NUMBER
Allows a particular group to be selected for configuration.
TREND UNITS
Allows mm/hr or inches per hour to be selected for the 'chart' speed. Automatically converts the trend speed field be­low.
DESCRIPTOR
Allows the group name to be edited. See section 3.3.1 for text entry techniques.
TREND TYPE
This allows the selection of Adaptive Recording for vertical and horizontal trend modes. The purpose of adaptive re­cording is to ensure that rapid, short duration spikes (for example), are represented on the 'chart' even at low trend speeds. This allows the user to extend the total amount of history stored in the recorder (by using slow trend speeds) without losing transient data.
The adaptive recording method works by measuring the input signal at the normal 125 msec period, and saving the maximum and minimum values, continuously, over the period of trend update. When the trend is updated, both maxi­mum and minimum values are traced on the chart - i.e. two traces are produced for each channel in the group.
The faceplates and pen positions are still updated every second, as normal.
Notes: 1 During the period between updates, the maximum and minimum values are shown on the trend as a hori-
zontal line just beneath the pen, where the ends of the line represent the minimum and maximum values so far. This line is removed at trend update time.
2. Adaptive recording takes twice as much memory as normal recording, so to maintain the total amount of history stored, the trend speed must be reduced to 50% of that which would be used for non-adaptive re­cording.
3. In Trend History mode, both minimum and maximum values for the cursor position are shown on the faceplate. See section 3.4.1 for a description of trend history.
Figure 4.3.2b shows the difference between normal and adaptive recording, at slow trend rates. Note that rapid changes in signal, (such as those shown in the circled area of the 'actual signal') are largely filtered out by Normal Tracing, but is displayed by the Adaptive Trace. Figure 4.3.2b is for illustrative purposes only, as traces such as these could never appear on the chart together.

Allows the 'chart' speed to be selected either as mm or in per hour, or as an interval. Entering a value in one field auto­matically converts the value in the other field. A trend interval of N seconds is equivalent to 1200/N mm/hr chart speed; a chart speed of P mm/hr is equivalent to a trend interval of 1200/P seconds.
If A/B switching is enabled, a second Trend Speed /Interval value can be entered. Trend Speed/Interval 'A' is used during normal operation. Trend Speed/Interval 'B' is switched to by job action, as described in section 4.7.
Note: Trend speed/interval are not editable fields if 'Circular Settings' is enabled.
CIRCULAR SETTINGS
When checked, this checkbox causes the Circular Speed/Chart Full/Start At fields, described below, to appear. When checked, the Trend Speed and Trend Interval fields described above are disabled (i.e. they are no longer editable).
Notes: If Circular Settings is not enabled, here in Group configuration, but Circular Trend is enabled for the group in Views configuration (section 4.3.4), then, although the circular chart will appear, it is unlikely that the chart will contain any trends.
CIRCULAR SPEED
This field allows the chart speed to be selected from a pick list, as detailed in table 4.3.2, below. The table also shows the number of major and minor chart divisions.
CIRCULAR CHART FULL
This allows 'New Chart' or 'Rotate' to be selected from a picklist. See section 3.4.3 for details. Table 4.3.2 shows the major and minor chart divisions for each chart speed.
START AT
This item, (which appears only if 'New Chart' has been selected in 'Circular Chart Full', above) allows the user to select a start time and/or date for the new chart. The exception is for a chart speed of 1 hr/rev, which always starts on the hour.

4.3.2 GROUP CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
GRID TYPE
Grid type allows the chart grid type to be defined for the group being configured. This is not necessarily related to channel scale (section 4.3.3), unless 'From point' is selected, when the grid matches the scale of the selected point.
NONE
No chart grid is traced.
LINEAR
The chart grid is linear, with the major and minor divisions defined by the fields Grid Divisions - Major and Minor, which appear if 'Linear' is selected as grid type. Figure 4.3.2c, below, defines major and minor divisions.
LOG
The chart grid is logarithmic, with the number of decades being selected in the 'Grid Decades' field which appears if 'Log' is selected as Grid Type. Figure 4.3.2c gives an example.
Note: For the small frame recorder, the minor divisions within each decade are shown only for groups with ‘Number of decades’ ≤ 5.
FROM POINT
This allows the chart grid to be aligned with the scale of a particular 'point', selected in the 'from' field which appears if 'From Point' is selected as 'Grid Type'
Five major divisions
Linear scale
Two minor divisions Nine major divisions

RECORDING ENABLE
This tick box allows the logging of this group's data to the flash memory to be enabled/disabled. When disabled: a The recording speed/interval fields are not editable, and Trend History duration is set to zero. b Display trends are present on the chart, but are not preserved when changing 'Views'. c It is not possible to enter trace history if 'Recording Enable' is not selected.
Notes 1 A blue line is drawn across the chart, when recording is re-enabled to indicate a time change in the trace. 2 If a 'Recording enable' job (section 4.7.10) is set to act on a particular group, then the group will be re-
corded only whilst the job is active, and only if Recording is enabled for the group.

4.3.2 GROUP CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
RECORDING SPEED/RECORDING INTERVAL
If recording is enabled, these fields are as for trend speed/interval but define the rate at which data is saved to Flash memory. This value also affects how much trace history appears per screen height in trend history mode (section
3.4.1). If recording is not enabled, these fields are 'greyed' and not editable.
If A/B switching is enabled, a second Recording Speed /Interval value can be entered. Recording Speed/Interval 'A' is used during normal operation. Recording Speed/Interval 'B' is switched to by job action, as described in section 4.7.
Note: With large numbers of points configured in one or more groups, the total amount of data generated per iteration may exceed the amount that can be written to the internal FLASH memory in the time available. Such a situation may also arise if many messages are being generated. The recorder responds by reducing the recording speed, and a message ‘Recording failed - internal overflow. Slowing re- cording interval of fastest group(s)’ appears, to draw the user ’s attention to the situation.
TREND HISTORY DURATION
Gives an estimated time to fill the group's trend history area of the Flash memory. The calculation is based on the ar­chive rate, the compression ratio, the flash size and on the exact nature of the data. (Rapidly changing values use more space than static/slowly changing values.) If A/B switching is enabled the calculation is based on Recording Speed/ Interval 'A'.
Changing the contents of one group may affect the Trend History Duration of other groups. This happens because the recorder attempts to store, as nearly as possible, the same amount of history for all groups, regardless of how many points there are in the groups.
For 'empty' groups, or if Recording is not enabled for a group, the Trend History Duration is displayed as '0' Days.
ARCHIVE TO MEDIA ENABLE/ARCHIVE VIA FTP ENABLE
If recording is enabled, these tick boxes allow the archiving of this group's data to removable mass storage media and/ or to a remote host (FTP) to be enabled or disabled. If recording is disabled, these fields cannot be edited.
Note: When recording to floppy disk drives (via a USB port), it is recommended that only one group be set up with 'Archive to media' enabled. This is because history files are typically 400kB in size and this limits the number of files which can be saved to a 1.4MB floppy disk, to three. If more than one group is set up to archive, and if 'Overwrite' strategy is selected, then it is likely that all the data for one or more of the groups will be lost. No warning is given.
ALARM MESSAGE
This box allows the printing of alarm on and off messages on the 'chart' to be enabled or disabled as required. Alarm messages appear on the trend display and in PC Review in the form HH:MM:SS Alarm ON n/m and HH:MM:SS Alarm OFF n/m, where 'n' is the relevant channel number and 'm' is the alarm number (1 or 2).
ACK MESSAGE
This tick box allows the printing of alarm acknowledgement messages on the 'chart' to be enabled or disabled as re­quired. Acknowledge messages appear on the trend display and in PC Review in the form HH:MM:SS.
ALARM ACKNOWLEDGE Alarms are acknowledged as described in section 3.1.4.

4.3.2 GROUP CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
POINT TYPE/SELECTION
The 'Point Type' box, together with the 'Selection' box immediately below, offers a quick way of editing the contents of a group, as follows:
1. Select the type of point (Channel, Maths, Totaliser or Counter) to be edited from the Point Type drop down menu.
2. Enter the numbers of all the points of the selected type to be added or deleted, in the 'Selection' box. See notes below for further details.
3. Click on 'Enable' to add the selected points to the group contents, or on 'Disable' to remove them.
4. Repeat for other point types, as required.
Notes:
1. The status of all points not included in the selection box, remains unchanged.
2. Point numbers are entered individually, or as one or more ranges, separated by commas (if applicable). For example, an entry of '1-3,6,9-11' would cause points 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 10 and 11 to be added or removed from the group contents. Only numeric characters, commas and hyphens (minus signs) are accepted. If any other character (including space(s)) is included in the list, the edit will fail, with a message 'Invalid Selection' appearing when the 'Enable' or 'Disable' key is operated..
3. Ranges must be complete: '1-' is not acceptable.
4. Each group may contain any or all points, but for vertical and horizontal trend modes, only the first 36 are displayed, and for circular trend mode, only the first twelve are traced..
5. If a point number is entered which is greater than the number of that point type fitted, then the selection is ignored. For example, if totalisers 1-60 are selected for deletion, and only 12 are enabled, then the range will be accepted, and totalisers 1 to 12 deleted from the group's contents.
Alternatively, a group's contents can be edited using the tick-boxes, to include the ticked items in, or to exclude non­ticked items from, the group, as required.

4.3.3 CHANNEL/ALARM CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
Example: A type J thermocouple is used to measure a temperature range of 100 to 200 degrees Celsius. This thermo­couple output is transmitted to the recorder by a 4 to 20 mA transmitter, for display as an efficiency value between 0 and 100%. In such a case, the following values would be set up:
Input type = milliamp
Input low = 4.0
Input high = 20.0
Shunt = 250 Ohms
Lin Type = Type J
Range Low = 100
Range High = 200
Range Units = ˚C
Scaled =
Scale low = 0.0
Scale high = 100
Scale units = %
Note: The following description shows all possible fields. The recorder itself edits the list and shows only those fields appropriate to the setup so far. For example, the 'Shunt' field appears only for mA input type.
CHANNEL NUMBER
The current channel and its descriptor are displayed. Touching the window area allows another channel to be selected for configuration. Alternatively, the right and left arrow keys at the bottom of the screen can be used to increment and decrement, respectively, the channel number.
VALUE
Shows the current value of the channel, together with either 'Unadjusted' or the date and time of channel adjustment (section 4.6.4).
INPUT TYPE
Select thermocouple, millivolt, Volt, milliamp, RTD, Ohms, Digital (not channel 1, 7 etc.), Slave Comms, Test or Mas­ter Comms as input type. Slave Comms must be selected if the channel is to be written-to via Modbus. Master Comms must be selected if this channel is to read from another instrument. See section 4.3.16 for details of Master Comms.

4.3.3 CHANNEL/ALARM CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
SHUNT
Allows a shunt resistor value to be entered for input type = mA. Commonly used values are 100 ohms and 250 ohms. Note that shunt resistors are connected to the input connector. The recorder cannot detect whether a shunt is fitted, or if one is, what value it has. Therefore it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the ohmic value of any shunt fitted matches the shunt value entered in this field.
RANGE LOW
Enter the lowest value of the required linearisation range (e.g. 100)
RANGE HIGH
Enter the highest value of the required linearisation range (e.g. 200)
RANGE UNITS
Selectable from degrees Celsius, degrees Fahrenheit, Kelvin or Rankine.
SCALED
This box allows the user to select low and high values and units for a scale. This box must be ticked if logarithmic scales are to be used.
SCALE LOW
Enter the scale value to correspond with input range low (e.g. 0).
SCALE HIGH
Enter the scale value to correspond with input range high (e.g. 100).
SCALE UNITS
Enter up to five characters of unit descriptor (e.g.%).
Note: User linearisation tables units, To set user linearisation table units to temperature units (˚C for example), the Range Units selection box can be used. To enter custom units, 'Scaled' must be selected. Scale low must be set to Range Low; Scale high must be set to Range High. The required Units string is entered in the Scale units text entry box.
OFFSET
Allows a fixed value to be added to or subtracted from the process variable. Recorder accuracy figures no longer apply if an offset is included.

4.3.3 CHANNEL/ALARM CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
SCALE TYPE
This field allows 'None', 'Linear' or 'Log' to be selected as scale type. For linear scales, the number of major/minor scale divisions can be selected. This does not affect the 'chart' grid divisions, which is set up as a part of Group con­figuration (section 4.3.2). Figures 4.3.3b1 and 4.3.3b2 show various examples.
NONE
Channels with Scale Type selected to 'None', appear with no scale information in any display mode.
LINEAR
Channels with Scale Type = Linear, appear with scale information in all display modes (except numeric). The number of major and minor divisions can be selected from subsequent fields. Examples are shown in figure 4.3.3b1.
SCALE DIVISIONS - MAJOR Appears for Linear Scale types only. Setting major divisions to 1, means that the scale consists only of 'zero' and full scale. Setting Major divisions to 2, means that the scale has divisions at zero, 50% and full scale, and so on. Intermedi­ate scale values appear at major divisions if there is sufficient space. Default = 10 for large frame recorders or 5 for small frame units.
SCALE DIVISIONS - MINOR Appears for Linear Scale types only. With minor divisions set to 1 (default), the scale major divisions are not divided i.e. no minor division tick marks appear . Setting Minor divisions to 2, means that each major scale division is divided into two, and so on. See figure 4.3.3b1 for an example showing five minor divisions.
LOG
For some input type selections, this appears only if 'Scaled' is ticked. Channels with Scale Type = Log, appear with logarithmic scales. These scales have major divisions at each decade boundary, and (space permitting), minor divisions for mantissa values 2 to 9. Examples are shown in figure 4.3.3b1. Because of the nature of logarithms, neither negative values nor the value 0 can be used as scale 'zero'. Linear inputs are traced as exponental curves (figure 4.3.3b2).
LOG/LINEAR
For some input type selections, this appears only if 'Scaled' is ticked. Channels with Scale Type = Log/Linear, appear with logarithmic scales. These scales have major divisions at each decade boundary, and (space permitting), minor divisions for mantissa values 2 to 9. Examples are shown in figure
4.3.3b1. Because of the nature of logarithms, neither negative values nor the value 0 can be used as scale 'zero'. Linear inputs are traced as straight lines (figure 4.3.3b2).

BREAK RESPONSE
For thermocouples and other low level inputs (i.e. input voltages less than 150 mV), the recorder can be made to re­spond in one of the following ways, if a break in the input circuit is detected. None trace drifts with the input wiring acting as an aerial. High trace placed at full scale. Low trace placed at scale 'zero'.
COLD JUNCTION COMPENSATION (CJC)
For input type = thermocouple, None, Internal, External or Remote can be selected for cold junction compensation.
INTERNAL
Internal CJC is by means of an RTD connected across pins 11 and 12 of the input board connector.

EXTERNAL
If the cold junction is maintained (by the user) at a known, fixed tempera­ture, 'external' should be selected. An extra numeric entry box appears to allow the user to enter the temperature at which the cold junction is main­tained.

nel. The temperature units displayed here, are those of the channel being configured, not those of the CJ source channel. The CJ source channel must be configured appropriately for the external device, and must provide a value which is consistent with the configured channel's units.
DESCRIPTOR
Allows a text string of up to 30 characters (including spaces) to be entered for the channel descriptor (e.g. 'Turbine 2 tempA').
A/B SWITCHING
If enabled, this function allows alternative Span, Zone and Trace Colour values to be entered. 'A' values are used dur­ing normal operation. 'B' values are switched to by job action, as described in section 4.7.

4.3.3 CHANNEL/ALARM CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
SPANNED
This box, when selected, allows span low and high values to be entered. For example, in an input range of 0 to 600 deg C, it may be that the temperature range between 500 and 600 degrees is of most interest. In such a case, setting span low to 500 and span high to 600 will cause the recorder to display only that part of the input range, and this will fill the zone width which is selected next, effectively magnifying the area of interest.
If A/B switching is enabled, a second set of span low and span high values can be entered. 'A' values are used during normal operation. 'B' values are switched to by job action, as described in section 4.7.
ZONE
This allows the portion of the chart which the channel occupies to be defined in terms of percent, where the left edge of the chart is 0% and the right hand edge is 100%. For example, setting a low value of 50 and a high value of 100 causes the channel trace to be confined to the right hand half of the chart.
If A/B switching is enabled, a second set of zone low and zone high values can be entered. 'A' values are used during normal operation. 'B' values are switched to by job action, as described in section 4.7.
PV FORMAT
This allows the PV value, alarm setpoints, hysteresis values etc. to be displayed as normal numeric values (Numeric) or in 'Scientific' format (Scientific). When 'Scientific' is selected, values are displayed and entered as a decimal number between 1 and 10† (the mantissa), followed by a multiplier (the exponent). E.G. to enter a value of 1244.5678, the value entered would be 1.2445678E3, where 3 represents the number of places that the decimal point has been shifted to the left in order to convert the value to a number between 1 and 10†. To enter a value of 0.0004196, the entry would be 4.196E-4.
† Notes
1. Strictly this is a number less than 10, as 10 would be 1.0E1.
2. There must be at least one number after the decimal point.
MAXIMUM DECIMAL DIGITS
This defines the number of decimal places in the process value. Settable between zero and nine. Leading and trailing zeros are not displayed. Values too long for the available displaying width are truncated as described in section 3.
COLOUR
Allows the trace colour to be selected from a colour chart. Each of the 56 available colours is displayed with a number, and it is this number which is entered. The background colour to the selection box changes to the selected colour.
If A/B switching is enabled, a second colour selection can be entered. Colour 'A' is used during normal operation. Col­our 'B' is switched to by job action, as described in section 4.7.

4.3.3 CHANNEL/ALARM CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
ENABLE
Allows the alarm to be defined as Off, Unlatched, Latched or Trigger.
Off Alarm is disabled and the remainder of the alarm configuration is hidden. Unlatched Unlatched alarms become active when the trigger source becomes active and remain active until the source
returns to a non-active state. The indicator is on (flashing before acknowledgment - steady after acknowledgement) until the alarm clears. Alarm messages are printed if enabled in group configuration.
Latched Latched alarms become active when the trigger source becomes active and remain active until the alarm is
acknowledged AND the trigger source has returned to a non-active state. The indicator is on (flashing before acknowledgment - steady after acknowledgement) until the alarm has been acknowledged AND the trigger source has returned to a non-active state. Alarm messages are printed if enabled in group configuration. Continuous jobs remain active only whilst the alarm trigger source is active. I.E. the job finishes when the alarm clears, whether acknowledged or not.
Trigger When triggered all associated jobs are initiated, and continuous jobs remain active until the alarm clears.
There is no alarm indication, and no messages are printed.
TYPE
This field appears only when the alarm Enable is not selected Off. Each alarm can be defined as absolute high, abso­lute low, deviation-in, deviation-out, rate-of-change rise or rate-of-change fall.
Absolute High As shown in figure 4.3.3d, an absolute high alarm becomes active when the channel value exceeds the
threshold value. The alarm remains active until the channel value falls below (Threshold minus hyster­esis). If a dwell value is defined, the alarm does not become effective until this dwell time has been ex­ceeded.
Absolute Low As shown in figure 4.3.3d, an absolute low alarm becomes active when the channel value falls below the
threshold value. The alarm remains active until the channel value exceeds (Threshold + hysteresis). If a dwell value is defined, the alarm does not become effective until this dwell time has been exceeded.
Deviation in As shown in figure 4.3.3e, a deviation-in alarm becomes active whenever the channel value enters the
band: Reference ± Deviation. It remains active until the channel value leaves the band: Reference ± (De­viation+ Hysteresis). If a dwell value is defined, the alarm does not become effective until this dwell time has been exceeded.
Deviation out As shown in figure 4.3.3e, a deviation-out alarm is active whenever the channel value leaves the band
Reference ± Deviation. It remains active until the channel value enters the band: Reference ± (Deviation
- Hysteresis). If a dwell value is defined, the alarm does not become effective until this dwell time has been exceeded.
Rate of change As shown in figure 4.3.3f, rate of change alarms become active whenever the signal value changes by more
than a specified amount within a specified period. If a dwell value is defined, the alarm does not become effective until this dwell time has been exceeded. An averaging period can be set to remove the effects of sudden, but short-lived changes, such as noise spikes on the signal.
Note: Alarm icons appear at the display, as described in section 3.
SETPOINT SOURCE
Allows the user to choose either a fixed, user-defined value (constant) or the value of another point (input channel, maths channel, totaliser etc.) to be chosen as the trigger point. In the latter it is possible, for example, to trigger an alarm, when one channel’s value rises above, falls below etc. the value of a second channel.

4.3.3 CHANNEL/ALARM CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
PARAMETERS
Figures 4.3.3d, e and f illustrate the following terms for the different alarm types.
Threshold For Absolute alarms, this defines the value (in engineering units) at which an alarm is triggered. The alarm
also returns to its non-active state at this value (unless a hysteresis value has been set). If a dwell value is set, the alarm does not become active until this dwell time has elapsed.
Hysteresis Defines a 'deadband' (in engineering units) to eliminate spurious triggering if the signal value is hovering
around the trigger point. The deadband lies: Below Absolute High thresholds Above Absolute Low thresholds Outside the deviation band for Deviation-in alarms Inside the deviation band for Deviation-out alarms.
Dwell Allows a dwell period to be entered in seconds. The alarm does not take effect until this period has ex-
pired. If an alarm clears before the dwell period has expired, the alarm is ignored. Reference For Deviation alarms, this is the central value of the deviation band. Deviation For Deviation alarms, this value defines the width of the deviation band, each side of the reference value.
I.E. the total width of the deviation band is 2 x Deviation value. Amount For Rate-of-change alarms, this value defines the minimum amount by which the signal value would have
to change, within the 'Change Time' period (below), in order for the alarm to become active. Change Time For Rate-of-change alarms, this selects the time period (Per second, Per minute, Per hour) within which the
change in signal value must exceed the Amount value (entered in the preceding field) in order for the alarm
to become active. See Rate-of-Change example below for more details. Average time For rate-of-change alarms, this allows an average period to be entered for signal smoothing.
HYSTERESIS EXAMPLE
Threshold = 100 units; Hysteresis = 5 units
With the above settings, an absolute high alarm would become active if its input were to rise above 100 and would remain active until its value fell to below 95 units. An absolute low alarm would become active if its input fell below 100 units, and would remain active until its input rose above 105 units. Deviation alarms behave in a similar manner.
RATE-OF CHANGE ALARM EXAMPLE
Rate-of-change alarms allow the user to enter an 'amount' (say 3 degrees) and a time period (say 1 minute) , and if the process value changes by the specified amount or more, within the specified time period (more than 3 degrees in a minute in this example), then the alarm becomes active.
The recorder uses its iteration rate of 125 msec (1/8th second) as the time base for it calculations. For our example, 3 degrees per minute equates to 3/60 degrees per second or 3/(60 x 8) = 0.00625 degrees per iteration. If a change greater than this is detected, then the alarm becomes active.
In order to reduce sensitivity, an averaging period can be configured. This means that an average of all the 1/8th sec­ond samples is taken over the specified period, and the alarm becomes active only if the average value exceeds the specified rate of change.
Configuring a dwell time can also reduce 'jitter' because, if during the specified dwell time, any one sample is non ac­tive, then the elapsed dwell time is reset to zero. The alarm becomes active only after the dwell time has elapsed i.e. only if the rate of change has been exceeded for every software cycle throughout the specified dwell time.

JOB NUMBER
Select the required job number.
CATEGORY
Select the required job to be carried out when the channel is in alarm (e.g. Drive relay) See section 4.7 for a descrip­tion of job categories.
WHILE/ON
Allows the action of the alarm job to be chosen as
a. while active, while inactive or while unacknowledged for continuous jobs (e.g. drive relay), or, b. on going active, on going inactive or on acknowledgement for 'one-shot' jobs (e.g. increment counter).
Figure 4.3.3g, below, shows the various actions graphically. For 'While unacknowledged' and 'on acknowledgement' settings, two cases are shown, one where the alarm goes inactive before acknowledgement; the other where the alarm is acknowledged whilst the alarm is still active. The coloured (shaded) areas show the duration for which continuous jobs run; the down arrows show trigger points for 'one-shot' jobs. See section 3.1.4 for details on how to acknowledge alarms.

4.3.4 Views Configuration
This part of the recorder's configuration allows groups to be set up (either individually, or globally) to include the vari­ous display modes described in section 3.4, above, and user screens (if fitted). When enabled, a display mode is added to the Group's 'Goto View' menu and to the up/down arrow scroll list.
Home Group and Home Page picklists allow a group and display mode to be defined for display when the Home key is pressed in the Root menu.

HOME TIMEOUT
The recorder returns to the specified home page after the timeout value of minutes has elapsed since the last touch on the display. Timeout action is inhibited if a configuration is incomplete (there are changes which have not been 'Ap­plied'), or if a system-generated message (e.g. 'Clock Failure') is on display. User displays (e.g. Root menu) are timed­out after approximately 50 seconds.
A value of zero disables the time-out function. Valid entries are between 1 and 99 minutes.
HOME GROUP
This picklist allows a particular group to be selected for display when the root menu 'Home' key is pressed.
SCOPE
The remaining items of Views configuration can be selected to act globally (Instrument) or to act on individual groups (Group). When 'Instrument' is selected, enabled display modes appear in all groups' up/down arrow scroll lists and are active in the Root Menu 'Goto View' menu (figure 4.3.4b). When 'Group' is selected, each group can be set up with individual display mode lists. For the particular group on display, the up and down arrow keys can be used to scroll through the enabled display modes, or a particular mode can be selected using the 'Goto View' menu.

4.3.4 VIEWS CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
GROUP
This field appears only if 'Scope' is set to 'Group', and allows each group to be selected for display configuration. For other items of Group configuration, see Section 4.3.2.
DISPLAY ENABLE
This field appears only if 'Scope' is set to 'Group', and allows the selected group to be enabled or disabled for display. When enabled, the group can be displayed either by using the 'Root menu/Goto screens/Group N' selection (figure
4.3.4b) or can be scrolled-to using the right/left arrow keys. When disabled, the group is 'greyed' in the 'Root menu/ Goto screens/Group N' selection and is skipped when using the right/left arrow keys. It is not possible to disable the Home group.
HOME PAGE
Allows a particular display mode to be selected as the default display, either for all groups (Scope = instrument) or on a group-by-group basis (Scope = group).
DISPLAY MODE ENABLING
A series of tick boxes allow the various display modes to be added to (or removed from) the up/down arrow scroll list and to be activated/deactivated in the Root menu 'Goto View' menu, either for all groups (Scope = instrument) or on a group-by-group basis (Scope = group). It is not possible to disable the selected Home page mode.
Note: If Circular Trend view is enabled here in Views configuration, but the 'Circular settings' checkbox is not enabled in Group configuration (section 4.3.2), then, although the circular chart will appear, it will not contain any trends.

USER SCREENS 1 to N
This field appears only for recorders with the Screen Builder option (fully described in section 7). Up to 24 user screens can be included in the up/down arrow scroll list and to be active in the Root menu 'Goto View' menu (figure
4.3.4b).
In addition to the 24 screens accessible from the recorder display, up to 100 extra screens, which can be accessed only by using Bridge 'Full' software, can be specified. The number selected should be kept to the minimum necessary, in order to reduce the number of 'Goto View' 'More...' displays. Once created a Bridge screen can be copied to one or more recorder screens 1 to 24 if required, making it accessible from the recorder.
