Editing the List of Log Intervals with TRAKPRO
To program the list of log intervals available for Run Manual
Mode:
1.
Start TRAKPRO Software and make sure the SIDEPAK monitor
is connected to the computer and turned on.
2.
In TRAKPRO, select Parameters, then Logging Intervals from
the Instrument Setup menu. TRAKPRO software retrieves the
current list of log intervals from the SIDEPAK monitor and
displays them.
3.
Enter a value for each of the five log intervals (the range is
from 1 second to 59 minutes and 59 seconds).
4.
Select Send. The SIDEPAK monitor is now reprogrammed to
offer the log intervals you have specified.
5.
Use the SIDEPAK monitor keypad to make sure the log interval
is set to the value you want to use.
Time Constant
The time constant is used to dampen fluctuations in the displayed
readings, to make them easier to read. The time constant setting
affects values shown on the AM510 LCD display only.
The SIDEPAK AM510 always makes a measurement once every
second and updates the display every second regardless of the time
constant selected. Using a time constant greater than one second
results in displayed readings that are averages of the 1-second
readings. For example, a 10-second time constant will cause the
display to show an average of the most recent ten 1-second
readings. In other words it is a 10-second "moving average,"
updated every second.
Do not confuse time constant with logging intervals. Time
constants only affect the AM510 display. Log intervals only affect
recorded readings.
There are five preprogrammed choices for time constants. If
necessary, the list of available time constants may be permanently
altered using TRAKPRO Software.
After selecting Time Constant from the Setup Menu, the display
will show TIME CONSTx where "x" is a number from 1 to 5. This
is the currently active time constant. The value of that time constant
is shown on the second line.
