The DR4300 recorder is a one or two pen microprocessor-based circular chart recorder. The basic DR4301
(one pen) and DR4302 (two pen) recorders provide reliable, convenient pen-drawn analog traces on
preprinted 10 inch (250 mm) charts. Both the chart and the pens are driven by stepper motors controlled by
the microprocessor. Chart speed and range are configurable. The basic recorder is also available in CE
models DR4321 (one pen) and DR4322 (two pen).
In addition to generating pen-drawn chart traces, the DR4311 (one pen) and DR4312 (two pen) models
include a display and keypad. This option lets you display the real time value of the process variable for
each pen channel, as well as other values. The recorder with display and keypad is also available in CE
models DR4331 (one pen) and DR4332 (two pen).
Each pen channel has its own printed circuit assembly (PCA), allowing the channels to operate
independently.
Overview
1. Overview
CE conformity (Europe)
Indicated models of this product are in conformity with the protection requirements of the following
European Council Directives: 73/23/EEC, the Low Voltage Directive, and 89/336/EEC, the EMC
Directive. Conformity of this product with any other “CE Mark” Directive(s) shall not be assumed.
Deviation from the installation conditions specified in this manual, and the special conditions for CE
conformity in Section 2 of this manual, may invalidate this product’s conformity with the Low Voltage and
EMC Directives.
Analog inputs
The input for each pen channel can be one of any standard electrical signal: milliamp, millivolt, voltage,
RTD, or thermocouple. The input type and range are configurable. In the models having display and keypad
the range can be expanded and compressed to meet specific measurement needs. The display and keypad
also permit entry of input bias and filter values. (The input filter for the models without a display is fixed at
one second; their bias is zero.)
Digital inputs
Two digital inputs for each pen channel are available as an option. These inputs can be used to trigger the
switchover to a second control setpoint or a pre-configured constant output if an external event causes
contact closure (sets the digital input to ON). In addition, the digital inputs can be used to remotely reset the
optional totalizer or limit controller.
The Modbus communication option permits configuration of the unit and monitoring of process variables
over a standard multi-drop serial communications link.
Relay outputs for control and alarms
The models with display and keypad are available with output relays, two for each pen channel. These
relays can be wired for Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) terminals. ON-OFF control can be
performed using one relay (relay simplex control) or two relays (relay duplex control).
Any relay not used for control is available for alarming. Two alarm setpoints can be configured for each
alarm relay. An adjustable hysteresis of 0.0 % to 100.0 % is configurable for the alarm setpoint.
Analog output for control or retransmission
Depending on the model ordered, a 4 to 20 mA current output may be available for control or
retransmission of a process variable (“auxiliary output”).
Failsafe operation
The control function can operate in automatic or manual mode. In automatic the control function works to
maintain the process variable at the setpoint entered locally by the operator. During configuration a
“failsafe” value can be specified. This value is used as the output at power up and in case of input failure
during automatic operation. (When the unit goes to failsafe, the control function goes to manual mode.)
In manual mode the operator enters the output locally. If the recorder has gone to failsafe operation, the
operator will be able to change the output value from the failsafe value specified during configuration.
Timer and totalizer options
The recorder is available with timer and totalizer options. The timer can be started locally, remotely, or by
an alarm. The unit can be configured to display elapsed time or time remaining. At the end of the timeout
period Relay 2 is energized, and remains energized until the timer is reset. The totalizer can be reset locally
or remotely; its displayed value can be scaled.
Setpoint Programming Option
The recorder is available with a Setpoint Program option. This feature allows configuration of up to four
setpoint programs using a total of twenty-four ramp and soak segments. A setpoint and time is configured
for each segment. The program can be set up to include guaranteed soak segments. A plus/minus deviation
is configured for all soak segments. Whenever the plus/minus deviation is exceeded, soak timing is frozen.
Display and keypad
In addition to process variables, the display can show output, setpoint, and deviation real time values if the
recorder is equipped with optional outputs. The upper display uses four characters to display the input
value. The lower display shows other parameters using a two- or three-character label and four- or threedigit values. In addition, status and error messages flash on the lower display when necessary.
The six keys are used to select the real time value to be displayed, and to select set up parameters and their
values during configuration. The display and keypad are behind the door, protecting them from dirt.
A supplementary external keypad is also available.
For more information about the operator interface on models having a display and keypad, see Subsection
4.2.
Configuration
The models without a display are configured with two switchbanks: one for configuration, the other for
input definition. Configuration is a simple matter of consulting a table in this manual; selecting the
appropriate combination of range, chart speed, engineering unit, and input type; then setting the switches as
shown in the table.
The display and keypad are used to configure models with these options. When the unit is in configuration
mode, set up parameters are displayed, and grouped by function. Designate site-specific values by selecting
them from a list of choices, or entering them as numeric values. The operator can be locked out from
making configuration changes.
The models with display also use a switchbank to define the type of input to be expected by the hardware.
Input parameters used by the software are configured using the display and keypad.
Overview
Self-diagnostics
All DR4300 recorders run self-diagnostics at power up and in the background during normal operation.
Problems are reported by error messages on the display when present. An LED in the models without a
display lights if the unit fails a self-diagnostic.
Construction
All DR4300 recorders are housed in a rugged molded case which can be panel-, pipe- or surface-mounted.
An acrylic-windowed, gasketed door protects internal components from harsh environments while allowing
easy access to the chart.
The model number breakdown is presented in the tables that follow. Note that not all options are available
with all recorders. Check the “Availability” column for each model. A star () in the Availability column

NOTE 1: PID control o ptions include current output plus two discrete outputs for alarms. If ON-OFF or
time-proportioned simplex control is used, only one discrete output is available for an alarm.
Time-proportioned duplex control requires the use of both outputs and therefore no relay outputs
are available for alarms on that pen channel. Accutune II tuning is a standard feature with PID
control options.
NOTE 2: Customer must supply the input actuation and range information for each input in the Free Form
section of the order to have the unit supplied with a Certificate of Calibration.
NOTE 3: Digital Inputs are only available when ordering outputs in Table I.
NOTE 4: 4 to 20 mA Retransmission Output includes two outputs per pen for alarms. You must specify
the type of alarm outputs required (i.e., Relay, SS Relay, Open Collector Outputs).
NOTE 5: On key numbers DR4301, DR4302, DR4321, and DR4322 the communication address is fixed;
the display assembly is required to change it. Only one DR4301 or DR4321 instrument, or only
one pen of a DR4302 or DR4322 can exist on the network, otherwise communication conflicts
will exist. Pen 1 is the default when communications is specified on these models.
NOTE 6: Recorder is supplied with one box of 30755820-001, 0 to 100 Even "starter" charts. For special
range configuration on the DR4301, DR4302, DR4321, or DR4322 Recorder, provide the Input
Type, Chart Range, Chart Speed, °C or °F, Engineering Units, Linear or Non-Linear Chart Type
when ordering.
For example: Pen 1: "J" Thermocouple, 0-375 °F, 7-Day Linear Chart
Pen 2: 4-20 mA, 0-1000, 7-Day Linear Chart
For configuration on Models DR4311, DR4312, DR4331, and DR4332, the customer must
supply completed "Configuration Worksheets" with order for units to be Factory configured.

2.2 Mounting Considerations and Overall Di mensions
Physical considerations
The recorder can be mounted flush in a panel or on the surface of a panel or wall using the mounting kit
supplied with the recorder. Adequate access space must be available at the back of the panel for installation
and servicing.
A kit for mounting the unit on a pipe is available (see Section 9 Parts List).
Overall dimensions
The overall dimensions and panel cutout requirements for mounting the recorder are shown in Figure 2-1.
This section provides instructions for mounting the recorder using one of the following methods:
• Flush in a panel (Subsection 2.3.2)
• Flush in a panel for recorders with NEMA4 or Heavy Duty door (Subsection 2.3.3)
• On a 2-inch pipe (Subsection 2.3.4)
[A pipe mounting kit is available (see Section 9 Parts List).]
• On the surface of a wall or panel (see Subsection 2.3.5).
Choose the method that meets your mounting requirements. Use the associated dimension drawings for
reference.
How to remove knockouts for conduits
Before you mount the recorder, remove the appropriate plugs in the bottom and/or sides of the recorder case
for wire entry via 1/2" (12.7 mm) conduits. Refer to Figure 2-2 for plug locations. To see recommended
use of conduits for various types of wiring, refer to Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8.
Refer to Figure 2-3 and follow the procedure in Table 2-2 to make a new cutout in a panel and mount your
recorder in the cutout.
Table 2-2 Mounting Flush in a New Panel Cutout
StepAction

At the appropriate location, make a square cutout in the panel. Cutout dimensions should be
322.56 mm ± 1.52 mm x 322.56 mm ± 1.52 mm [12.7 in ± 0.060 in x 12.7 in ± 0.060 in]. See
Figure 2-3.
Orient the recorder case properly and slide it into the cutout from the front of the panel.
Support the recorder as shown in Steps 3 and 4.
Refer to Figure 2-3. From the back of the panel, attach a mounting bracket to each side of the
recorder case using a 1/4-20 x 1/2-inch hex screw for each bracket (mounting hardware
supplied with recorder). Leave the screws slightly loose so you can adjust the brackets.
While holding the recorder firmly against the panel, slide each bracket against the back of the
panel and tighten the screws.

or Heavy Duty door.
Table 2-3 Procedure for Mounting Recorder with NEMA4 or Heavy Duty Door
StepAction
Place the panel gasket onto the rear flange of the recorder case.
1
Install four #8-32 screws on each of the three mounting brackets so the ends of the screw
2
threads are flush with the face of the bracket.
NOTE: Screw heads to be flange side of brackets.
Insert the case with gasket into the panel opening.
3
Install one left hand and one right hand bracket with 1/4 x 3/8 long bolts and lockwashers on
4
each side of the case.
NOTE: The notch on each bracket should be facing upward towards the top of the unit.
Do not tighten the hex bolts at this time.
Install the remaining right hand bracket on the top with the 1/4 x 3/4 long bolt and lockwasher.
5
Do not tighten the bolt at this time.
Place a screwdriver blade on the notch of each bracket and firmly tap so that each bracket
6
firmly mates the case with gasket to the panel.
NOTE: Keep brackets parallel to case. Tighten the three 1/4 hex bolts to hold the brackets in
place.
Start to tighten the #8-32 x 1/2 screws on the right side bracket. Alternate screws at opposite
7
ends until all four screws have a minimum of 10 lb-in of torque applied. Do the same to both
the left side and top brackets.
When completed all twelve screws should have a minimum of 10 lb-in of torque applied. This
assures the case and panel gasket are adequately sealed against the panel.
Refer to Figure 2-6 and follow the procedure in Table 2-5 to mount your recorder on a surface (panel or
wall).
ATTENTION
Three (3) screws must be supplied by the user for attaching the mounting hardware (brackets and
support hook) to panel or wall.

Using two flat-head 10-32 x 1/4-inch screws supplied with the recorder, fasten the support
hook into the recess at the back of the recorder case as shown in Figure 2-6.
Using 1/4-20 x 1/2-inch hex screws and lockwashers, attach a mounting bracket to each side
of the case. Leave the screws slightly loose so as to permit some adjustments of the
brackets.
On the panel, mark the locations for the three holes, as shown by the hole pattern in Figure
2-6.
Using a drill of appropriate size for user-supplied screws, drill a hole in the front of the panel
for the eye of the support hook.
Insert the screws for the support hook into the panel, allowing the screw head to protrude
approximately 5/16-inch.
Hang the recorder support hook on the screw. Make sure that the locations for the other two
holes (marked in Step 3) are correct. If not, make sure that the recorder is aligned vertically,
and use the brackets as templates to mark the proper locations.

Recorder grounding
PROTECTIVE EARTH (GROUND)
Grounding of this recorder shall be in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
NOISELESS (CLEAN) EARTH (GROUND)
To minimize electrical noise and transients that may adversely affect the recorder, connection of the
recorder terminal (located in the rear of the case) to a local earth (ground) using a No. 11 (4 mm
copper conductor is recommended.
Electrical noise is composed of unabated electrical signals which produce undesirable effects in
measurement and control circuits.
Digital equipment is especially sensitive to the effects of electrical noise. Your recorder has built-in circuits
to reduce the effect of electrical noise from various sources. If there is a need to further reduce these effects:
•Separate External Wiring—Separate connecting wires into bundles (see Table 2-6) and route the
individual bund l es through separate conduits or meta l trays.
•Use Suppression Devices—For additional noise protection, you may want to add suppression devices
at the external source. Appropriate suppression devices are commercially available.
For additional noise information, refer to document 51-52-05-01, How to Apply Digital Instrumentation in
Severe Electrical Noise Environments.
CE conformity special conditions (Europe)
Shielded cables with a drain wire are required for all input and output cables. All instrument shielded cable
drain wires must be connected to a low impedance earth ground at the entry fitting. Cable/conduit entry
fittings shall effectively terminate the cable shield connecting the shield to the enclosure conductive coating.
The shielded cable shield shall not extend into the instrument closure.
The case is equipped with numerous knock-outs (plugs) for wiring conduits (see Figure 2-2). To see
recommended use of these points of entry for various types of wiring, refer to Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8.

2.6 Output Wiring
ATTENTION
The recorder is available with several options and multiple output algorithms. Output terminal use
depends on which output algorithm and options are used. The wiring diagrams in this section
show how to wire the terminals. To see which terminals are used for what output function, refer to
Table 2-12. This table applies to all control types. Each pen channel is configured separately, and
each can use a different output algorithm. (The output algorithm is set with the control set up
group “OUTALG” parameter.)

2.6.1 Discrete Outputs
Introduction
Each pen channel in the recorder models having display and keypad can be equipped with two optional
discrete out puts. These o ut puts can be used for control or alarming, dep ending on the configuration as
described in Section 4 – Configuration, Startup, and Operation of Recorder with Display.
Three types of discrete outputs are available:
• electromechanical relay
(TB5)
Relay 1
(TB4)
Relay 2
(TB3)
• solid state relay
• open collector output
ATTENTION
The electromechanical relays on the printed circuit assembly (PCA) for each pen channel can be wired for
Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) operation.
ATTENTION
The DR4300 is available as a limit controller. In a limit controller each pen channel’s printed circuit
assembly Relay 1 (TB4 terminals 3 and 2 for NO contacts, and 2 and 1 for NC contacts) is used for
limit control. When the recorder detects that the input has exceeded the limit (or fallen below the
limit, depending on configuration), the controller goes to the limit state: Relay 1 is de-energized.
The insulation of wires connected to the relay output terminals shall be rated for the highest voltage
involved. Ext ra Low Voltage (ELV) wiring (input, current outp ut, and low voltage control/alarm circuits)
shall be separated from HAZARDOUS LIVE (>30 Vac, 42.4 Vpeak or 60 Vdc) wiring per Table 2-6.
Procedure
Follow the procedure in Table 2-13 to wire the discrete outputs.
Refer to Figure 2-14 for wiring electromechanical and solid state relays.
Refer to Figure 2-15 for wiring open collector outputs.
Refer to Table 2-12 to see the output function of each terminal with the available output algorithms and

Set up the functionality of the models that do not have a display and keypad using configuration and input
switches. Each pen channel in the recorder has an associated printed circuit assembly (PCA) shown in
Figure 3-1. The configuration switches are the SW1 switchbank. The input switches are the SW6
switchbank. If your recorder is equipped with two pens, the printed circuit assemblies for the two pens can
be set up differently. The PCA for pen 1 (purple) is on the right (when facing the recorder); the PCA for pen
2 (red) is on the left (if present).
Set up is fast and easy. This section includes a table that shows the various available combinations of
recording selections (such as chart range, length of time for single rotation of chart, whether the input is
linear or non-linear), input actuation types, and whether jumper R56 should be in or out. Find your desired
configuration for the pen 1 channel on the table, then set the SW1 and SW6 switches as indicated. Repeat
the process for the pen 2 channel, if available on your recorder, and set up is complete.

For thermocouple and mV inputs, the setting of SW6 switch 2 affects the displayed input in case of burnout
or other input failure.
Burnout is always upscale on an instrument with no display. When an input fails, the pen is driven upscale.
However, if the SW6-2 setting is ON, the pen may be driven downscale momentarily until the input circuit
is driven underrange.
It is important, however, to set the switch to OFF in the case of RTD actuation.
ATTENTION
If SW6 switch 2 is ON for an RTD input, the recorder will not be able to process the input
accurately, even when the input sensor is providing a valid signal.
3.3 Startup and Oper ation of Recorder without Di splay
3.3.1 Overview
Introduction
This subsection provides procedures and reference information for operating the recorder models that do

values, change setpoints (if the recorder hardware supports outputs), and assign application-specific values
to configuration parameters.
This subsection describes the operator interface, using the display and keypad to configure the recorder, and
procedures for starting up and operating the recorder.

4.3 Configuration (Recording and Output Set Up)
4.3.1 Overview
Introduction
The display and keypad on the DR4311, DR431, DR4331, and DR4332 models are used for setting up
recording and output options in Set Up (configuration) mode, as well as for displaying real-time values
during normal operation. (Instructions for using the user interface are in Subsection 4.2.)
When the recorder is in configuration mode, setup parameters are displayed, grouped by function.
Designate site-specific values by selecting them from a list of choices, or entering them as numeric values.
If your recorder is equipped with two pens, function parameters are configured separately for each pen, and
stored on the printed circuit assembly (PCA) associated with that pen. The PCA on the right (when facing
recorder) is for pen 1 (purple); the PCA on the left is for pen 2 (red).
If the hardware supports optional relay outputs for each pen, parameters are available for configuring
control and/or alarms using these outputs. If an optional relay is used, then it can be wired for Normally
Open and Normally Closed action.
Hardware switches must be set to match the input type, and to specify input state in case of input failure.
Figure 4-2 is an overview of the hierarchy of set up groups and their associated function prompts. Read the
diagram from left to right. (Some prompts may not be displayed, depending on the configuration and lock
status of the recorder.)
Read Subsection 4.3.4 “Configuration Tips”. These tips will help you configure your recorder quickly and
easily.
Set the hardware switches
Refer to Subsection 4.3.5 “Switch Settings” for required hardware switch settings on the printed circuit
assembly associated with each pen. The hardware switches should be set before specifying values for
function parameters.
Install recorder
Connect the recorder to ac power as described in Section 2 so that you will be able to configure the unit
using the display.
Become familiar with the configuration procedure
Configuration, Startup, and Operation
of Recorder with Display
Read Subsection 4.3.6 “Configuration Procedure” to learn how to access the set up groups, and the
function parameters within each of these groups (shown in the prompt hierarchy in Figure 4-2).
Assign application-specific values to the set up parameters
The set up groups and function parameters are listed in this section in the order of their appearance on the
display. The list includes the name of the prompt, the range of setting or selections available, the definition
of each parameter, and the factory setting. It allows you to quickly find a parameter and determine the
appropriate value or selection for your application.
Complete configuration record sheet
Subsection 4.3.21 contains a “Configuration Record Sheet”. It is good practice to record your instrument’s
configuration for future re ference.
Table 4-2 contains tips that will help you enter the configuration data more quickly. If you can not change
configuration parameters, check the status of the “LOCK” parameter (see Subsection 4.3.19).

Significance of hardware switches in models with display
SW6 input switches: The display and keypad are used to configure the software on each pen channel’s
printed circuit assembly (PCA). In addition, the input hardware switches 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in SW6 must be set
to match the input type as described in Subsection 4.3.5.2. This is required so that the recorder hardware
will provide an appropriate value to the recorder software.
SW6 burnout switch 2: This burnout switch should be set to specify whether the input used by the
recorder for the channel should be sent over range or under range if the input to the recorder fails while the
“BRNOUT” parameter value is “NONE”. Alternatively, if the “BRNOUT” parameter has a value of “UP”
or “DOWN” switch 2 should be set to match. Details are provided in Subsection 4.3.5.3.
SW1 configuration switches: In a recorder model having a display and keypad all switches in SW1 will be
ignored if the ca ble from the displa y and keypad assembly is plugged int o J4 on the PCA associated with
the pen channel. (SW1 switches are used to configure recorder models that do not have a display and
keypad as described in Section 3.)
ATTENTION
Configuration, Startup, and Operation
of Recorder with Display
If the display cable is disconnected after the software has been configured using the display and
keypad, the recorder’s behavior will depend on the settings of the SW1 switches. If all SW1
switches are in the OFF position when the cable is disconnected, the recorder will continue to use
the software configuration entered with the display and keypad. However, if all SW1 switches are
not OFF when the cable is disconnected, the recorder will use the configuration in Table 3-2 that
matches the SW1 switch settings. (If the switch setting combination does not match any
configuration in Table 3-2, the recorder will use configuration #1.)
Safety precautions
Exercise appropriate safety precautions when setting switches.
WARNING—SHOCK HAZARD
SET THE SWITCHES DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION WITH THE UNIT
POWER DISCONNECTED. DO NOT TOUCH POWER CONNECTIONS
AT TB1. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION CAN RESULT IN
EXPOSURE TO A POTENTIALLY LETHAL SHOCK HAZARD. MORE THAN
ONE SWITCH MAY BE REQUIRED TO DE-ENERGIZE UNIT.
In a recorder model having a display and keypad the input switches at SW6 must be set to match the type of
input to be used. The location of SW6 is shown in Figure 4-3. The appropriate switch settings for the
various input types are shown in Table 4-3.
Note that the setting of switch 2 in SW6 is not related to input type. It is used, along with the “BRNOUT”
parameter in the input group, to specify the effects of an input failure as described in Subsection 4.3.5.3.
ATTENTION
The ON position for SW6 switches is toward the left side of the printed circuit assembly (when
facing recorder.)

should be driven over range or under range in case of input failure. See
Subsection 4.3.5.3.
What happens to the displayed input value when the input signal to the recorder fails depends on several
factors: the input type, the setting of SW6 switch 2, and the value of the “BRNOUT” parameter in the input
set up group.
SW6 switch 2 OFF for RTD
If the input to the pen channel is from an RTD, SW6 switch 2 must always be set to OFF.
CAUTION
If SW6 switch 2 is ON for an RTD input, the recorder will not be able to process the input correctly,
even when the input sensor is providing a valid input signal.
SW6 switch 2 setting unimportant for Volt, mV, and mA inputs
It does not matter whether SW6 switch 2 is ON or OFF if the pen channel uses a Volt, mV, or mA input
signal. In case of input failure, the displayed input value will show little change, regardless of the setting of
SW6 switch 2 or the value assigned to the “BRNOUT” parameter. (However, the value of “BRNOUT” is
still important to implementing your control strategy because the value of “BRNOUT” affects the output
used in case of input failure. See Subsection 4.3.11 for details.)
If the value of “BRNOUT” is “NONE” when a thermocouple input fails, then the setting of SW6 switch 2
determines whether the displayed input value will be under range or over range. The recorder can display
1 % over or under range for thermocouples.
• If SW6 switch 2 is ON, the displayed value will be under range.
• If SW6 switch 2 is OFF, the displayed value will be over range.
If the pen is configured to trace the input value (“PENIN” pen set up parameter value is “INP”), then the
pen will also be driven over or under range.
Note that the over range or under range input will have no effect on output. When “BRNOUT” = “NONE”,
the recorder uses the configured failsafe value as the output in case of input failure, rather than a calculated
value based on input.
SW6 switch 2 setting for thermocouple inputs should match BRNOUT if BRNOUT = UP OR DOWN
We recommend that, in the case of thermocouple inputs, SW6 switch 2 be set to OFF if “BRNOUT” =
“UP” and ON if “BRNOUT” = “DOWN”.
When the input failure first occurs, the displayed input for a thermocouple input will briefly be driven
according to the hardware switch setting. However, as soon as the software recognizes that it has received
an out-of-range input signal, the displayed input will be driven according to the value, “UP” or “DOWN”,
configured for “BRNOUT”. The d i splayed value (over range or und er range) as configured in “BRNOUT”,
will remain on the display until a valid input is restored.
If the switch and the set up parameter do not match, operator confusion may result. For example, in case of
mismatch the displayed va lue could first go under range, t hen quickly go over range. However, except for
the brief period before the software reacts to the out-of-range value, the effect of the mismatch is
insignificant.

The configuration prompts are sequenced in a group/function hierarchy as shown in Figure 4-2. Once you
have set the input switches in SW6 as described in Subsection 4.3.5, configure all the function parameters
that are applicable for your recorder model and application. During configuration some function parameters
will not be displayed if they do not apply to your application. For example, if you set the control group
function “CONTRL” to “DIS”, disabling control, then no other control group prompts will be displayed.
To enter your selections or values, follow the procedure in Table 4-4 and fill in the values or selections on
the worksheet in Subsection 4.3.21. Keep this worksheet as a record of how your recorder was configured.
This procedure tells you the keys to press to get to any set up group (and any associated function parameters

Procedure
Follow the procedure listed in Table 4-4 to access the set up groups and function prompts. If you have a
2-pen recorder, be sure to identify individual parameters for each pen and control loop as applicable.
