refer to the User Manual BE6034 regarding this procedure.
The monitor has several essential operational features, which enable
you to operate it without undue reference to this Instruction Manual.
The main features of the monitor which ensure its simple and easy
operation, are listed below:
• The fully, comprehensive Software BZ7002 and BZ7003.
• The LumaSoft Gas Single Point 7810 application software.
• The short, self-explanatory texts, which appear in the monitor
display when the monitor is being used, give operational guidance
to the user.
• The small light-emitting diodes at some of the push-buttons allow
the user to identify how the monitor is operating at any particular
time.
• Audible warnings “beep” if any push-buttons are used in the
wrong way.
3.1 PC Use – Online
A monitoring system, where you use the PC environment to set-up
the monitor prior to measuring, display measurement data on the PC
screen while monitoring and store the measurement results directly
on the PC’s hard disc. The LumaSoft Gas Single Point 7810
application software is used for making online measurements. The
measurement results can be used by other programs that fetch data
from the SQL Server Express database server featured by the 7810
application. A manual BE6027 for the 7810 application is available
for reference.
Using the online mode (7810 Application Software) provides you with
a variety of Software Alarm options. Not only are the alarm trigger
levels definable, but the action resulting from an alarm being
triggered can also be defined here. This enables you to connect
external warning systems to the monitoring system.
The philosophy behind the 7810 Application Software is common to
almost all Windows programs. Access to the various levels of the
program is gained by use of the MENU BAR, PULL-DOWN MENUS,
NEW WINDOW options and INDEX-CARD separators. These familiar
procedures, together with the simple software structure, make the
instructions in the On-line sections of this manual understandable
and easy to implement.
This method of operation is available to those of you who wish to use
the monitor without connection it to a PC. The monitor is set-up and
the results are displayed via the monitor’s front panel.
The structure of the monitor set-up can be viewed like an inverted
tree. The main branches divide and separate into minor branches.
These in turn divide again and again.
To move through the tree, the branches are selected using the
“select” push-buttons (see section 1.5). Use the Set-up Tree,
supplied with the monitor and the example steps below to see how
the instructions progress. Starting from the initial screen display.
MONITOR IS READY FOR USE
1. Press SET-UP, and the text changes to that displayed below.
MEASUREMENT FORMAT CONFIGURATION
2. To select the MEASUREMENT branch, press S1. (Pressing either
of the other “select” push-buttons will take you along another
branch of the set-up tree. The following text is displayed.
MONITORING TASK ENVIRONMENT
To select the ENVIRONMENT branch, press S3. The text is
displayed.
3. To select the AUTO flushing mode, press S1. The following text is
displayed.
PRESS ENTER TO CHANGE VALUE
This branch does not divide again. At this stage you are able to
define the parameters in this branch of the tree using the direction
push-buttons.
If the branch had divided again, it is a simply process of using the
correct “select” push-button to continue down the desired branch.
Parameters that are already selected are displayed either with a
cursor under the current selection or the value is displayed on the
top line.
When the correct value or parameter is already selected, you can
continue on through the tree using the ▼direction push-button.
To exit SET-UP mode press SET-UP
Defining parameters is covered in section 6.1.
The procedures in the example above are common to all the
situations where the “select” push-buttons can be used to access the
different levels in the monitor.
