Effectivity
This manual refers to a number of different recorders and data acquisition units, not all of which support all the op-
tions described herein. If an option is not supported (or not fitted), it does not appear in the configuration menu.

Note that this manual deals with ‘stand alone’ options such as maths, totalisers etc. Those options which are exten-
sions of basic configuration, such as Circular Charts, Auditor Pack and Log Scales are described in the User Guide
supplied with the recorder.

For Remote Viewer and Communications option descriptions (including ASCII Printer Output), please refer to the
Serial Communications and Remote Viewer User guide: HA028122

For recorders which are being operated under Remote Viewer software, any mention, in this manual, of ‘Push’,
‘Touch’ or ‘Operate’ should be read ‘Click-on’.

The User Guide, or Installation and Operation Manual supplied with the unit specifies the Software Version to which
this (options) manual relates.

1 BATCH RECORDING OPTION

Note: This option is not available with all models.

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Batch records form a part of recording history and are included in the normal archiving process to ‘disk’ or to a re-
mote PC (section 4.1 of the User Guide supplied with the unit). Batches can be initiated directly by the operator (if
access permission is granted), automatically whenever a specified counter changes value, by job or remotely via
MODBUS/TCP.

Batches can be defined as start/stop, or continuous and can incorporate all channels, or just those associated with a
Group. For start/stop batches, the batch record starts when the batch is started, and continues until it is stopped. For
continuous batches, the batch record starts when the batch is started and continues until the next batch is started, or
until batch recording is disabled.

When using 'PC review' software the 'Go to Batch' feature can be used to select a particular batch record.

If ' Name files by Batch' is enabled (section 1.2.8), a separate history file is created for each batch.

For each batch start, a start message is printed:

DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS Batch start (User Full Name)

Where DD/MM/YY is the date, HH:MM:SS is the time, and User Full name is either the current user name or security
level (e.g. Engineer). A similar message is printed at Batch Stop. (There are no stop messages associated with con-
tinuous batch selection).

In addition to the above start/stop messages, up to six lines of text can, if required, be printed on the ‘chart’ at the start
of a batch and, if required, at the end of a batch. The messages are in two parts, which for the sake of this document,
are called ‘Headings’ and ‘Values’ The Headings are entered in Fields 1 to 6 in Batch Configuration (section 1.2).
The Values associated with these headings are entered by the operator at initiation (section 1.3).

1.1.1 Auditor Pack messages

If the Auditor Pack option is fitted a Config/Security Revision message appears immediately after the Batch Start
message:

DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS Config Revision:NNNNNN Security Revision:SSSSSS

DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS Batch start (User Full Name)

Figure 1.2 Batch configuration menu

As depicted in figure 1.2, the following configuration entries can be made:

SCOPE
Allows the user to define all configured channels (instrument) or just those in a particular group, for batch control. If
'Group' is selected, a further picklist appears allowing a specific group to be selected. If multiple groups are not
available, this list contains only group 1.

ENABLE
Allows the batch function to be switched on or off.

BATCH MODE
Allows batch mode to be selected as Continuous or Start/Stop.

BATCH FIELDS
Allows the maximum number of messages to be printed at batch start/stop to be selected between one and six.

FIELD 1
This field is the first of up to six which can be used as headings for batch information. Headings can be up to 20 char-
acters long (including spaces). In the example shown in Figure 1.2, Heading 1 has been entered as ‘Batch Number:’.
When initiating the batch, the operator has to enter a value to be associated with this heading (see section 1.3 Opera-
tion, below), unless 'Use Counter' is selected in the following 'Batch Number' field.

Options HA028121
Page 8 Issue 5 Nov 04
 GRAPHICS RECORDER/DATA ACQUISITION AND LOGGING UNIT: OPTIONS MANUAL

1.2 BATCH CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

BATCH NUMBER
This allows the Value entered for Field 1's heading to be selected as 'Use Text' or 'Use Counter'.
USE TEXT. When Text is selected, the value for field 1 is entered by the operator on initiation of the batch.
USE COUNTER. When Counter is selected, a further field appears ('counter') allowing a specific counter to be se-
lected from a picklist. The selected counter initiates a new batch whenever it changes value, and the counter value is
appended to the text associated with Field 1.

FIELDS 2 TO 6
Fields 2 to 6 are also used as headings for batch information. Values for these headings must be entered by the opera-
tor prior to Batch initiation. See also ‘On new clear’, below. Headings can be up to 20 characters long (including
spaces).

ON START LOG
This defines how many of the selected Fields are to be printed at batch start. An entry of ‘1’ means that only Field 1
will be printed. An entry of ‘2’ means that Fields 1 and 2 will be used, and so on. An entry of 0 means that only the
‘Batch Start’ message (section 1.1 above) will be printed. It is not possible to print only, say, Field 3. If Field 3 is
required, it must be preceded by Fields 1 and 2.

ON STOP LOG
As for On start log, above, but for batch stop. This item appears only if Start/Stop is selected as batch mode.

ON NEW CLEAR
For 'Use Text' Batches only, this allows the user to clear none or more of the batch entries at each batch start. In the
example above, if the user enters a batch number of say 001130.001, with Customer Name: FishesRus, Operator
name: Marvin, Supervisor: Fred, then setting ‘On New Clear’ to ‘1’, causes the batch number to be cleared, and to
have to be re-entered, each time a new batch is started.

In a similar way, setting ‘On New Clear’ to ‘2’ means that the batch number value and the Customer Name: value to
be cleared. A new batch cannot be started without new values first being entered.

NAME FILES BY BATCH

As an aid to identification, if ‘Name Files by Batch’ is selected, the Batch Name, as entered by the operator (section
1.3.1), is inserted into the history file name.

For example, if a batch name of 001130.001 is amongst the items archived to disk, then this file will appear in the
form:
Group Name~001130.001~HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,
Where HH----HH is a 16 digit hex code* used by the recorder and by review software to identify the file. If name
files by batch is not selected, the Batch name is not included, and the file will appear as:
Group Name~HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,
*The HHH--HHH code contains the following information:

H H H 6H H H H 2H H 2 H H H H 6H H H

Lowest 3 bytes of the Sequential number (May skip one if there

instrument MAC address is a configuration change)
History file format Group number
version identifier Group 1 = 00, Group 2 = 01 etc.

1.3 OPERATION

1.3.1 Operator initiation

This section describes how the operator initiates a new batch. Batches can be initiated from any of the trend, bar-
graph or numeric display modes, but the start/stop and other messages appear only on the Trend Graph screen, and its
associated trend history display. Batch information and status are retained whilst power is off.
To initiate a batch, either Option Menu
a) Operate the Option key, then press ‘Batch’ in the Option
menu* which appears, or Batch
b) Touch the (dark green) message area at the top of the screen.
Note
*Note: The option menu is context sensitive, so its appearance may
differ from the example shown Faceplates On/Off

Channel Cycling Off

The batch Status page appears - in this example - with no batch
running. Enter History
Press new.
'Group' data appears only if
Scope = Group (Section 1.2)
A new display page appears (figure 1.3.1a), showing all the head- Group Group 1
ings entered in Field 1 to Field 6 during configuration. If the Status No batch in progress
Batch Fields entry (Section 1.2.3) is less than 6, then only the
selected number appear (in our example, 4).
New Close

‘Values’ can now be entered for these headings by entering strings of up to 60 characters (including spaces). This is
done, as usual, by touching the empty field and using the resulting pop-up keyboard to type-in the entry. Once the
entries are complete, operation of the Start button initiates batch recording. Operation of the Store button saves the
configuration for later initiation by counter or via MODBUS/TCP, if either option is fitted.
The Values entry page is replaced by the batch status page (figure 1.3.1b), this time showing details of the batch in
progress. This page allows the batch to be stopped or a new one triggered.

1.3.2 Non-operator initiation

Batch start/stop can be initiated by job, by counter or via MODBUS/TCP

JOB INITIATION
As described in section 4.7.9 of the User Guide supplied with the unit, a job can be set up to initiate a batch whenever
the job source becomes active. If 'Scope' is set to 'Group' a specific group can be selected (default = Group 1) and the
job will act only on the batch associated with this group.

COUNTER INITIATION
If Batch Number is selected as 'Use Counter', (section 1.2) then a new batch will automatically be started whenever
the selected counter changes value (increment, decrement or preset). The new value of the counter is used as the
value associated with Field 1.

For the other fields to have values printed on the chart, these must have been entered as described above for Operator
initiation, then the 'Store' button touched.

The 'On new clear' setting (section 1.2) is ignored, the stored values being used each new batch.

Batch recording cannot be stopped by Counter action.

MODBUS INITIATION
In order to initiate batch recording via MODBUS/TCP, a Batch Start flag has to be set (value = 0001). For Scope =
Group (section 1.2), the flag for the specified group must be set. For Scope = Instrument any group's Batch Start flag
may be used.

The address of the flag for group 1 is decimal 42364; the address for group N is {42364 + 629(N-1)}

For further details of the Modbus option see section 2 of the Communications Manual.

If Batch mode = Start/Stop (section 1.2), batches can also be stopped via MODBUS. The address for group 1 is
42365; the address for group N is {42364 + 629(N-1)}. Again the value must be set to 0001.

Modbus start messages are of the form:

DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS Batch start (Modbus)

Stop messages are similar.

1.3.3 Event sources

As described in section 4.3.6 of the User Guide (Event Configuration), ‘Batch Start’, ‘Batch Running’ and ‘Batch
Stop’ can be selected as event sources. If 'Scope' = 'Group' in Batch configuration (described above), then the user
can select which group's batch is to be used as the event source.

2 SCREEN BUILDER
Note: This option is not available with all models.

2.1 INTRODUCTION

This option allows the user to create screen layouts using recorder data, simple drawing tools, text and/or imported
image files. The option comes in two variants, known as ‘Lite’ and ‘Full’.

2.1.1 Versions

FULL
The Full version offers 24 user screens editable from the operator interface plus up to 100 extra screens which can
be created only at the remote viewer. Once created, such screens (25 to 124) can be copied or moved to one or
more of screens 1 to 24, thus becoming accessible at the instrument’s operator interface. (For the data acquisition
and logging unit, which has no operator interface other than Remote Viewer, there is no distinction between screens
1 to 24 and screens 25 to 124.)

When creating any of the screens at the remote viewer, a number of extra features are available to speed up the
screen creation process. These ‘Quick-build’ features include the ability to edit the position and size of a screen
component using familiar ‘click and drag’ mouse techniques, and the ability to ‘clone’ components. See section
2.5.1 for details.

LITE
The lite version is identical with the full version with the following exceptions:
1. There are only 6 user screens, all accessible from the user interface (if fitted).
2. The remote viewer does not include the ‘Quick-build’ features.

IMPORTING/EXPORTING SCREENS (Cont.)

IMPORTING SCREENS
Touching the filename area, allows a previously created user screen to be selected either from the Flash memory or
from disk to be imported. The User Screen picklist allows the user to define which User screen is to be 'replaced' by
the imported file.

EXPORTING SCREENS
Allows user screens to be exported to Flash memory, or disk, The operator can assign a suitable filename before
exporting.

2.2 DISPLAY CREATION

The following description is an attempt to show how to create a simple screen layout. The technique used is to define
an object, then to specify its size, and where its top left corner is to be located on the screen.

The option offers two levels of sophistication - basic and advanced. The basic system defines size, position, fill col-
our etc. for components (section 2.3.1). Advanced parameters allow a more sophisticated fine-tuning of the appear-
ance of the components

Note: X is horizontal, increasing rightwards. Y is vertical, increasing downwards.

As implied in figure 2.2.3a, screen component position and dimensions can be specified as percentage, absolute pixels
or relative pixels. Percentage is ‘percentage of screen size'. Absolute pixels allow position and/or dimensions to be
defined as an absolute number of pixels. Relative pixels are the same as absolute pixels, except that if the display is
rescaled on, say, a pc screen, the absolute pixel object will remain unchanged, whereas the relative pixel object will
scale appropriately. Similarly, for transfer from a VGA screen recorder to a 1/4VGA recorder or vice-versa.

2.2.1 Before starting

Before starting to lay the screen out:

1. The user must have ‘full configuration’ access permission.
2. One or more user screens must be enabled in Views Configuration (section 2.1)
3. A layout plan is produced, with all the required screen’s components listed with their top left corner co-ordinates,
their widths and heights, and where appropriate background and foreground colours.

2.3 PARAMETER DEFINITIONS

The following parameters are associated with the components listed in table 2.2.2, above. The list is divided into
basic and advanced.

2.3.1 Basic parameters

Notes:
1 Not all components have all the following parameters associated with them. The component
descriptions in section 2.4 define each component’s parameters.
2 The generic term ‘solid objects’ as used in this description includes rectangles, lines, arcs, rounded
rectangles, ovals, polygons and polylines. Lines and arcs do not have a background colour as they
cannot be filled.
3. Default parameter units are in ‘percentage of screen width/height’. The picklist next to each
dimension field allows pixels to be used instead.

Parameter Description
Arc Angle For Arcs only, the number of degrees of arc drawn anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise) from the Start
Angle. Negative angles draw clockwise.See figure2.4.20a for definitions.
Arc Height For Rounded Rectangles only, this is double the vertical distance from the corner of the (unrounded)
rectangle at which the curve is to start. To draw ‘circular’ corners, this value must be 3/2 times the
Arc Width. The Arc height value must be less than half the Rectangle height. Percent units are
relative to the rectangle height, not the screen height.
Arc Width For Rounded Rectangles only, this is double the horizontal distance from the corner of the
(unrounded) rectangle at which the curve is to start. To draw ‘circular’ corners, this value must be 2/3
the Arc Height. The Arc width value must be less than half the Rectangle width. Percent units are
relative to the rectangle width, not the screen width.
Background colour The fill colour of solid objects; the background colour for the main page, trend charts, text messages
etc. For Bargraphs, the colour ‘behind’ the bar.
Button Text For operator buttons, Dialogue Action and Navigation Action. Allows button text to be entered.
Event button text is defined in Event Button Configuration, described in section 4.3.7 of the User
Guide.
Channel Allows a channel to be selected for bargraph, numeric, value etc. display.
Draw edge If set to ‘Yes’, this causes the outline shape of a solid object to be drawn in the foreground colour. If
set to ‘No’, the object’s outline is not drawn.
Draw Order Allows a layer scheme to be introduced. Item with higher draw order values are overlaid on compo-
nents with lower draw order values. The Draw Order feature is included specifically to allow a
dynamic element (such as a bargraph) to be placed ‘on top of’ a background, static image. A dy-
namic element is always drawn on top all other elements at update time. . When one or more dy-
namic elements are placed on top of one another, the results are unpredictable.
Edit Parameter For operator buttons, allows the user to select the parameter type (e.g Channel N Alarm 1) to be
edited when the button is operated. The parameter number (N) is entered in the ‘N value’ field.
Event Button For Event buttons, this allows the user to assign an Event button to the User Screen Button to be
displayed.
Feature For ‘Channel data’ only, allows the type of data to be displayed (e.g. Current value), to be selected
from a pick-list.
Fill Area If set to ‘Yes’, this causes a solid object to be filled with the background colour. If set to ‘No’, the
inside of the object is transparent. If ‘draw edge’ is also set to ‘No’, the object is invisible.
Foreground Colour The line colour of solid objects. The bar colour of bargraphs (default = normal point colour). The
colour of Text and of numeric values. Where applicable, this overrides channel colour.

2.3.1 BASIC PARAMETERS (Cont.)

Parameter Description
Group number Allows a group to be selected for group trend, bargraph and numeric displays, and for Dialogue
action buttons. Select specific group, or '0' to follow current display group. If multiple groups are
not fitted, this allows only group 1 to be selected.
Height Height of a component, measured downwards from the component’s ‘Y position’. Negative values
measure upwards.
Identifier Component name. Initially as in the Add Component list, but editable by the user.
Image File Allows a file name to be entered when importing GIF or JPG images.
Last error A text message describing the last error to occur for this component. The component must be re-
edited in order to clear the problem.
N Value See ‘Edit parameter’ above.
Page Title Allows a name for the current user screen to be entered in ‘Main’. This name appears at the top of
the screen, and in the Screen number picklist for navigation action buttons.
Screen Number For navigation action buttons, allows a screen to be selected. When the button is operated, the
instrument will switch to the selected display screen.
Show Title Bar When set to ‘Yes’, group displays (e.g. Group Vertical Trend) display a title bar across the top of the
component, giving the selected group’s descriptor. Selecting ‘Show Title Bar’ to ‘No’, removes the
title bar from the display
Start Angle For Arcs only, defines a start point for ‘Arc Angle’ above. See figure2.4.20a for definitions.
Text Allows a text string to be entered for display at the screen
Width The width of a component measured rightwards from the component’s “X osition’. Negative values
measure leftwards.
X points Defines the X co-ordinates for polylines and polygons. Must match the number of Y-points for
correct interpretation
X position Distance between the left edge of the screen and the left edge of the component.
Y points Defines the Y co-ordinates for polylines and polygons. Must match the number of X-points for
correct interpretation
Y position Distance between the top edge of the screen and the top edge of the component.

2.3.2 Advanced parameters

The selection of the Advanced properties set, is carried out from the Properties Options page as described in section
2.3.1, above. Advanced properties are in addition to the basic properties described above, not a replacement for them.

Parameter Pick list content Description

3D effect Enable/Disable For Channel numeric display only, adds an embossed boxed surround to
the display. Applies only if ‘Custom’ selected as Faceplate style.
Alarm marks colour None Allows a colour to be selected for alarm marks on trend scales. Default is
colour 0 (red).
Bargraph style Single Line... For horizontal bargraphs only. 'Plain' produces a bargraph with descriptor
to the left of the bar, digital value to the right of the bar, and alarm
indication to the right of the decimal value. 'With units' adds units after
the digital value. '3D' adds an embossed boxed surround. 'Scale' adds a
scale below the bar, with end-point values and tick points. Scale style
(described below) may be used to modify the appearance of the scale.
Faceplate below bar Produces coloured bar above channel descriptor, digital value and alarm
indication. No scale is printed
Just bar Produces a colour bar with no textual information, or just the low and
high scale values, according to component.
Bar and scale Produces a colour bar with a scale, but no digital value or alarm indica-
tion
Default Produces a colour bar with scale, with descriptor, digital value and alarm
indication above.
Default Vertical Bargraph Produces a colour bar with a scale
System Vertical Bargraph Produces a colour bar with a scale
Horizontal Bargraph Produces a colour bar with scale, with descriptor, digital value and alarm
indication above.
Best Fit Font Enabled/Disabled For Channel numeric only. Applies only if ‘Custom’ selected as
Faceplate style. If enabled, the display fonts for descriptor, value and
units are selected by the instrument to suit the screen scale. The fonts
will thus vary in size according to the size of the Channel Numeric
display. Overridden by any settings for Value Font, Descriptor Font or
Units Font other than ‘Default’.
Channel cycle time 10 For group trend displays, allows a time period, in seconds, to be entered
for channel scroll rate. 0 = no scroll.
Colour Alarms None Used only when Colour style = ‘Channel alarms’. A semicolon-separated
list of (Colour channel) alarms, used to change the colour of the compo-
nent being configured according to alarm status. Colours are defined in
‘Colour Backgrounds’ and ‘Colour Foregrounds’, described below.
Colour Backgrounds None Used only if Colour style = ‘Channel Alarms’ or ‘Channel thresholds’. A
semicolon-separated list of background colours for the component being
configured. The number of colours entered must match the number of
alarms or threshold values as appropriate. Overrides any entry in ‘Back-
ground Colour’. Colours are entered by touching each required selection
in turn. The semicolon separators are entered automatically, in front of
each selection (apart from the first).
Colour channel All channels Allows a channel to be defined to be used in percentile or quartile filling
or as a source of channel thresholds or channel alarms, as selected in

alarms or threshold values as appropriate. Overrides any entry in ‘Fore-
ground Colour’. Colours are entered by touching each required selection
in turn. The semicolon separators are entered automatically, in front of
each selection (apart from the first).
Colour style Channel thresholds Allows a number of semicolon-separated values to be entered, to act as
colour change triggers for the component being configured. The values
are those of the source channel selected in ‘Colour Channel’ described
above. The number of threshold values entered must match the number of
colour values entered in Colour Foregrounds and Colour Backgrounds.
Channel Alarms Allows a number of semicolon-separated values (1 to 4) to be entered, to
act as colour change triggers for the component being configured. These
values represent alarms 1 to 4 of the source channel selected in ‘Colour
Channel’ described above. The number of alarms entered must match the
number of colour values entered in Colour Foregrounds and Colour
Backgrounds. Point is displayed in the colour of the latest active alarm.
For example: Alarms configured 1,2. Foreground colours configured 3;0
(amber and red). When alarm 1 goes active, the component goes amber.
When alarm 2 goes active the component goes red. When alarm two
clears, component reverts to Amber and so on.
Background quartile Background colour represents the value of the colour channel. Colour 0
appears for values below 25%, colour 1 for values between 25 and 50 %,
colour 3 for values between 50 and 75% and colour 4 for values above 75
%. Foreground colour is default (-1).
Foreground quartile As background quartile but for the foreground colour. Background
colour is default (-1).
Background decimal Background colour represents the value of the colour channel. Colour 0
appears for values below 10%, colour 1 for values between 10 and 20 %,
colour 2 for values between 20 and 30% and so on up to colour 9. Fore-
ground colour is default (-1).
Foreground decimal As background decimal but for the foreground colour. Background
colour is default (-1).
Colour Thresholds None Used only when Colour style = ‘Channel thresholds’. A semicolon-
separated list of (Colour channel) values, used to change the colour of the
component being configured according to the process value of the point
selected in ‘Colour Channel’ described above. The number of threshold
values entered must match the number of colours defined in ‘Colour
Backgrounds’ and ‘Colour Foregrounds’, described above.
Decimal places Default Number of decimal places in Channel data display.
Descriptor Font Default For Channel Numeric displays only, if Faceplate Style is set to ‘Custom’,
then Descriptor Font allows the Channel Descriptor font to be selected
from a picklist.
Display Alarms Enable/Disable For Channel Numeric displays only, if Faceplate Style is set to ‘Custom’,

2.4 COMPONENT DEFINITIONS

This section defines all the available components listed in table 2.2.2 in terms of their parameters. The components
occur in the order in which they appear in the list.

2.4.1 Group Vertical/Horizontal Trend

This produces a display which mimics a recorder chart, for a selected group. All the functions (e.g. trend history) de-
scribed in, sections 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 of the User Guide, are available. The following unique parameters (fully described
in table 2.3.2) are available for configuration:

Background colour Allows the ‘chart’ to be drawn in the selected colour.

Message Colour The colour of messages printed on the ‘Chart’.
Time Marker Colour The colour of time/date printed on the ‘Chart’.
Grid Line Colour The colour of the ‘Chart’ grid lines.
Faceplates location Allows 'group' faceplates to be enabled/disabled, and when enabled allows the position of the
faceplates to be defined. These 'group' faceplates are additional to the current-channel
faceplate which always appears above the chart, unless it has been disabled under 'Horizontal
faceplate' (below).
Time Marker Interval Selects the number of horizontal chart lines between successive time markers
Vertical Grid Total Total number of vertical chart divisions.
Horizontal Grid Total Total number of horizontal chart divisions.
Trend Padding Sets thickness of traces.
Channel cycle time Allows a number to be entered for the scrolling period between channels. 0 = Channel hold.
Display Messages Allows message printing to be enabled/disabled.
Display Bargraph For Horizontal trending only, allows the vertical bargraph display to be switched on and off.
Display Pens Allows the pen icons at the edge of the chart to be switched on and off.
Horizontal Faceplate Allows the current-channel faceplate to be switched on and off.

2.4.2 Group vertical bargraph

Produces a vertical bargraph for a selected group in a format defined by ‘Bargraph Style’ and ‘Scale style’ described
in table 2.3.2. The number of rows of bars can also be defined by the user, according to the overall size of the display,
number of channels etc. The default value of zero means that the recorder will display what it ‘believes’ to be the most
ergonomic number of rows.

The recorder attempts to fit as many channel bars as possible into the width of the display. The default minimum
width of a column is 6 mm. If there are more channels than can be fitted into the display, a scroll bar device appears
at the bottom edge to allow ‘hidden’ bars to be accessed.

The recorder attempts to fit as many faceplates as possible into the height of the display. If there are more faceplates
than can be fitted into the display, a scroll bar device appears to allow ‘hidden’ faceplates to be accessed.

2.4.3 Group horizontal bargraph

Produces a group horizontal bargraph, for a selected group, in a format defined by ‘Bargraph Style’ and ‘Scale style’
described in table 2.3.2. The number of columns can also be defined by the user, according to the overall size of the
display, minimum width, number of channels etc.

The recorder attempts to fit as many channels as possible into the height of the display, according to the specified
minimum height (default = 12mm). If there are more channels than can be fitted into the display, a scroll bar appears
at the right edge to allow ‘hidden’ channels to be accessed.

2.4.4 Group numeric display

This produces a display of a selected group's numeric values, in one of a number of formats, as described in
‘Faceplate Style’ in table 2.3.2 above. The number of columns can also be defined by the user, according to the overall
size of the display, number of channels etc. The default value of zero means that the recorder will display what it ‘be-
lieves’ to be the most ergonomic number of columns.

The recorder attempts to fit as many channels as possible into the height of the display, according to the specified
minimum height (default = 12mm.). If there are more channels than can be fitted into the display, a scroll bar appears
at the right edge to allow ‘hidden’ channels to be accessed.

2.4.5 Channel vertical/horizontal bargraph

For a specified channel, this produces a dynamic horizontal or vertical bargraph display of channel value, in a format
defined by ‘Bargraph Style’ and ‘Scale style’ described in table 2.3.2

2.4.6 Channel Numeric

For a specified channel, allows the channel faceplate to be displayed in one of a number of formats, as described in
‘Faceplate Style’ in table 2.3.2 above.

2.4.7 Channel data

For a specified channel, allows one of : Current value, Descriptor, Units, Span low or Span high to be selected for
display.

2.4.8 Dialogue Action

This displays a pushbutton which can have one of three actions assigned to it:
1. Call the Login page.
2. Call the Batch Status page
3. Call the Operator Note dialogue box.
For Batch and Operator Note use, a Group number can be selected.

2.4.9 Navigation Action

This displays a pushbutton, the purpose of which is to call a different display screen. A Group and a screen can both
be specified, so this button provides a shortcut version of the ‘Goto group’ and ‘Goto View’ keys of the root menu.

2.4.10 Operator button

This displays a user pushbutton. The legend on the pushbutton, and the task it is to carry out, are defined in the button
configuration. If the text is too long for the width of the button, the text is truncated (e.g. Reset Ave...). Possible tasks
are as follows (assuming that the relevant options are fitted):

1 Edit the threshold (setpoint) setting for alarms 1 to 4 for point N

2 Reset Maths channel N
3 Edit Maths constant N Reset Average
4 Preset Totaliser N
Figure 2.4.10
5 Preset Counter N
Typical Operator Button
6 Start/Stop Timer N
7 Initiate Demand Write N
8 Set output channel N to default values.

In all the above, N represents any number between 1 and the maximum number available for the relevant type of
point. (Point is an umbrella term for input channel, a maths channel, a totaliser, etc.)

When the button is operated a ‘confirmation’ page appears allowing, for example, the value of a constant to be edited
before operating the ‘Apply’ button.

Notes:
1 If the point being accessed is not suitably configured, the ‘confirmation’ page is blank. For example, if
the Operator button is configured to change, say, the threshold (SP) of Alarm 2 on Channel 6, and either
Channel 6 is Configured ‘Off’, or alarm 2 is ‘Off’, then the Confirmation page will not have a
configurable area allowing the user to enter the required new value.
2. Any signing or authorizing that normally applies to the item being edited, also applies when changes are
being made by means of the Operator button.

2.4.11 Event Button

This displays a pushbutton, to be used as a source for an event. The button name, its action (latching or unlatching),
and whether or not the operation of the button needs signing or authorizing are set up in Event Button configuration,
described in section 4.3.7 of the User Guide. The actions taken when the button is operated are set up in Event con-
figuration, described in section 4.3.6 of the User Guide. Signing and Authorizing are as described in section 4.4.2
(Management) of the User Guide.

2.4.12 Image

This allows a GIF or JPG image file to be loaded from (e.g.) the floppy disk drive. Once this has been done, the im-
age size and shape can be edited to fill the screen area, and bargraphs, text messages etc. can be superimposed on the
image.

Notes:
1 Only Gifs in Gif87a format are supported by the unit.
2. Because of memory constraints, only six of user screens 1 to 24 may have images embedded in them

2.4.13 Text

If width and height are left with the default values of zero, the text will start at the specified start point and fit in the
space between there and the right edge of the screen, in a single line (left justified (ranged) as a default). If the text
string is too long, it is truncated. The text appears in the specified foreground colour, superimposed on a 'box' of
background colour which is the same width of the text string.

If width and height are defined, then the text will fill the defined width and any remaining text is truncated. The text
appears in the foreground colour (default black), over a field of background colour (default grey).

Advanced properties allow the text to be set to range left, range right or be centred, at the top, bottom or centre of the
field, and for the foreground and background colours to be swapped.

2.4.14 Round rectangle

Similar to a rectangle described in section 2.4.15, but offers the user the opportunity to draw rectangles with curved
corners. The horizontal and vertical curve angles are specified separately, and the aspect ratio of the screen should be
taken into account when working in percentage units.

Note: The rounded rectangle will draw incorrectly if either of the arc height /width settings are greater than
half the rectangle height/width settings.

2.4.15 Rectangle

This draws a rectangle on the display page. If the height and width of the rectangle are defined in the default ‘per-
centage units’, then entering equal values for height and width will result in a rectangle with the same aspect ratio as
that of the screen, not a square as might be expected. Because the screen height is approximately 2/3 the width, the
rectangle height should be 3/2 the rectangle width to produce a square. (The actual height/width ratio is 535/800 =
0.669 for large frame units or 214/320 = 0.669 for small frame units).

Using pixels as the measuring units obviates this problem as pixels are square.

2.4.16 Polyline - series of points

Similar to closed polygons, described in section 2.4.17 below, but the first and last points are not automatically
joined, and the drawn item cannot be filled and the line width cannot be specified - it is always one pixel.

Note: When working in percentage units, it should be remembered that vertical percentage units are only 2/3
the size of horizontal percentage units - this affecting the appearance of the drawn item.

Example: To draw an (old fashioned) electronic resistor icon (Units = Absolute pixels)

X position = 400, Y position = 236,

Foreground colour = 0
X points = 0,10,15,25,35,45,55,65,75,85,90,100

2.4.17 Polygon - closed area

This allows a number of pairs of points to be entered, which, if valid, will then be joined by straight lines. The first
and last points are automatically joined, by the recorder. The shape, drawn in the specified foreground colour, with
the specified line width, can be filled with the specified background colour.

Note: When working in percentage units, it should be remembered that vertical percentage units are only 2/3
the size of horizontal percentage units - this affecting the appearance of the drawn item

2.4.18 Oval

Similar to an arc with an arc angle of 360 degrees, but arcs cannot be filled,

If the height and width of the oval are defined in the default ‘percentage units’, then entering equal values for height
and width will result in an oval with the same aspect ratio as that of the screen, not a circle as might be expected. Be-
cause the screen height is approximately 2/3 the width, the oval height should be 3/2 its width to produce a circle.
(The actual height/width ratio = 0.669).

2.4.19 Line

This causes a straight line of user-definable thickness to be drawn between the points (X position; Y position) and (X
position + width; Y position + height)

Notes:
1 Y increases downwards; X increases rightwards
2 Height = 2/3 width if measuring in percent

Example
To draw an approximation to a St.Andrew’s cross (saltire):

Access the component page as described in section 2.2.3, select ‘Line’ and press Add, then Ok.

In the properties page, carry out the following configuration:

Main - set background colour to 6
X position;
Line 1 - Set Height to 100, Width to 100. Set Foreground colour to 55 Y position

and Line thickness to 35

Line 2 - Set X to 100, Height to 100, Width to –100. Set Foreground Height
colour to 55 and Line thickness to 35
Width
Press 'Apply', then 'Close'. X position + width;
Y position + height
Note: because of the thickness of the lines takes the corners beyond the display area, an error message may
appear in the ‘Last error’ field for the lines : position maybe out of bounds. This should not prevent the
screen being drawn correctly.

2.5 USER SCREENS WITH REMOTE VIEWER

Notes:
1 This description applies only to the Full version of Screen Builder. For the ’Lite’ version, there is no
difference between screen creation at a Remote Viewer, and screen creation at the Instrument’s user inter-
face.
2. See the Communications manual HA028122 for details of Remote viewer.

The major differences between creating User screens via Remote Viewer software, and creating User Screens at the
instrument’s user interface are as follows: (Clearly, these differences are not relevant to instruments whose only op-
erator interface is the Remote Viewer.)

1. The number of User screens is increased by 100.

Screens 25 to 124 are viewable only via the remote viewer.
Figure 2.5 shows that the number of these extra screens available to the user must be set either globally, or on a
group-by-group basis, in the ‘Remote Viewer User Screens’ part of ‘Views’ Configuration (section 4.3.4 of the
User Guide). Once this number has been set, all the new screens appear in the Root menu ‘GoTo view’ display. It
is recommended that the minimum convenient number of Remote Viewer User Screens be entered, in order to
minimise the number of Goto View ‘More...’ screens.
2. The Component Property Editor page has ‘Quick build’ mode keys associated with it, allowing user screens to be
created and edited more rapidly than otherwise. See section 2.5.1, for details.
3. The User Screens options page also has additional checkboxes. See section 2.5.2 for details

2.6 MEASURING UNIT COMPARISONS

Note: All the following figures are approximate

2.6.1 VGA screen

The physical display screen size is approximately 245 mm across and 164 mm high. For the purposes of the user
screens option, this area can be divided into a 100 x 100 array for percentage measurement or into a pixel array, 800
across by 535 vertically.

Thus, horizontally, 10 mm = 4% = 32 pixels

or 1% = 2.45 mm = 8 pixels
or 10 pixels = 3 mm

and Vertically, 10 mm = 6% = 32 pixels

or 1% = 1.64 mm = 5.35 pixels
or 10 pixels = 3 mm

Centre of screen is given by X = 50%; Y = 50% or by X = 400 pixels; Y = 267 pixels

2.6.2 1/4VGA screen

The physical display screen size is approximately 100 mm across and 76 mm high. For the purposes of the user
screens option, this area can be divided into a 100 x 100 array for percentage measurement or into a pixel array, 320
across by 214 vertically.

Thus, horizontally, 10 mm = 10% = 32 pixels

or 1% = 1 mm = 3 pixels
or 10 pixels = 3.2 mm

and Vertically, 10 mm = 13% = 28 pixels

or 1% = .76 mm = 2 pixels
or 10 pixels = 3.6 mm

Centre of screen is given by X = 50%; Y = 50% or by X = 160 pixels; Y = 107 pixels

2.7 ERROR CODES

Error codes 1 to F may appear at the top left corner of the screen. The following codes are currently implemented,
and if more than one occurs at the same time, the code numbers are added. For example, Error code 6 would mean
that codes 4 and 2 had both occurred.

3.1 MATHS CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

3.1.4 Function

This picklist allows the relevant maths function to be selected. In the following description, the word 'channel' is used
as an umbrella term for input channels, maths channels, totalisers etc.

Off Allows the function to be disabled. Once 'Apply' has been actioned, all configuration for this
Maths number is lost.
Constant Allows a maths channel to be set to a constant value.
Add Allows any channel or a constant value to be added to any other.
Subtract Allows any channel or a constant value to be subtracted from any other.
Multiply Allows any channel or a constant value to be multiplied by any other.
Divide Allows any channel or a constant value to be divided by any other. Should the value of the
divisor pass through zero, 'Maths Channel N error' and 'Maths Channel Failure' messages
appear.
Group average* The instantaneous value of all the channels in the source group added together and divided by
the number of channels in the group. For example, in a group of four channels whose instanta-
neous values are 4, 8, 2 and 6, the group maximum is (4 + 8 + 2 + 6) / 4 = 5. The relevant
source group is selected by picklist. Should a channel return a non-valid value, it is excluded
from the calculation, and the result of the function is the average of the remaining channels.
Group minimum* The lowest value of any of the channels in the source group. For example, in a group of four
channels whose instantaneous values are 4, 8, 2 and 6, the group minimum is 2. The required
source group is selected by picklist. Should a channel return a non-valid value, it is excluded
from the calculation, and the result of the function is the minimum of the remaining channels.
See section 3.2.15, for more details.
Group maximum* The highest value of any of the channels in the source group. For example, in a group of four
channels whose instantaneous values are 4, 8, 2 and 6, the group maximum is 8. The required
source group is selected by picklist. Should a channel return a non-valid value, it is excluded
from the calculation, and the result of the function is the maximum of the remaining channels.

*Note: If a maths channel with a Group function is contained within its own source group, then it will
act on itself as well as on the other group contents, thus changing the calculation.

For example, if Group 1 were to contain channel 1, channel 2 and maths channel 1, where maths
channel 1 had the function 'Group Maximum' for Group 1, then the Group Maximum would become a
latching function, showing the highest value ever reached by channel 1, channel 2 or maths channel 1
since the group was configured. In order to trace the instantaneous highest value, channel 1 and
channel 2 would have to be contained in e.g. Group 1, and the group maximum channel contained in,
say, Group 2, but with a source of 'Group 1'.

Comms Allows a process value for the maths channel to be communicated over the Modbus link
Stopwatch This causes the value of the maths channel to increment in milliseconds. The value can be
displayed in milliseconds (PV format = numeric), or in HH:MM:SS (PV format = elapsed
time).
The value can be held, using a ‘Disable’ job or set to zero either using a ‘reset’ job or by the
operation of the ‘Reset now’ button in the maths configuration page. See section 4.7 of the
User Guide for a description of jobs.
The function value is retained during power off.

Note: The scale low and high values are displayed in numeric format for both numeric and elapsed
time display formats

3.1.4 FUNCTION (Cont.)

Copy Copies the value of a selected point to the maths channel being configured. Allows extra
alarms to be set up for the copied point.
Polynomial Provides a polynomial curve fit for the specified point, using up to 8 orders, See section 3.2.1
below, for further details.
Fvalue This function calculates ‘equivalent time at sterilizing temperature’ for temperatures above and
below the sterilising temperature. FO (dry) and FH (steam) sterilizing calculations can be
carried out, by entering the correct constant - see section 3.2.2 below, for further details. The
value can be held, using a ‘Disable’ job or set to zero (prior to the next run) using a ‘reset’ job.
See section 4.7 of the User Guide for a description of jobs. The function value is retained
during power off.
Switch Allows two channels (‘A’ and ‘B’) to be selected as alternative sources for the selected maths
channel to copy. The maths channel copies source ‘A’, unless a ‘Switch to B’ job is active on
the maths channel. See section 4.7 of the User Guide for Job descriptions.
Linear Mass Flow This function calculates mass flow from linear-type transducer outputs. See section 3.2.3
below, for further details.
Root Mass Flow This function calculates mass flow from square root-type transducer outputs. See section 3.2.4
below, for further details.
Rolling Average This takes the average value of a single channel over a specified number of readings taken at a
specified interval. See section 3.2.5 below, for further details. The function value is retained
during power off.
MKT Mean Kinetic Temperature. A single calculation to simulate non-isothermal effects of varia-
tions in storage temperature. See section 3.2.6, below for further details.
10 to the power Output = 10 raised to the power of the selected input value.
Group Latched Minimum Outputs the minimum value reached by any of the points in a selected source group since last
reset. The function ignores points that are not producing valid PV. A disable job stops the
function reading its input. A reset job sets the function to the current minimum value within
the group. Note that for proper operation, the maths function must be in a group which is not
the source group. If this is not the case, it will always see itself as the lowest valued point in
the group, and Reset operations will have no useful effect.
Group Latched Maximum As for Group Latched Minimum, above, but outputs the maximum value of the source group.
Sample and Hold This function is initiated by a trigger job. At trigger time, the selected point value is sampled,
and its value at trigger time is output continuously by this function. On reset, the PV becomes
'No data'.
Square Root Outputs the square root of the value of the selected point.
High Select Allows two points to be selected as inputs. The output of the function is the value of that input
point which currently has the higher value.
Low Select Allows two points to be selected as inputs. The output of the function is the value of that input
point which currently has the lower value.
Saturated Steam Mass Flow Calculates mass flow in kg/s for saturated steam, using either the steam temperature (Celsius)
or pressure (MPa) as appropriate to the process. See section 3.2.7 for details.
Saturated Steam Heat Flow Calculates the energy flow in kJ/s for saturated steam, using either the steam temperature
(Celsius) or pressure (MPa) as appropriate to the process. See section 3.2.8 for details.
Saturated Steam Heat Consumed
Calculates the heat consumed in kJ/s for saturated steam, using the inlet steam temperature
(Celsius) or pressure (MPa) (as appropriate to the process), and the return (condensate)
temperature. See section 3.2.9 for details.
Group MKT Calculates Mean Kinetic Temperature of a specified group of channels See section 3.2.10 for
details.

Log Base 10 Takes log10 of selected input. (For example: Input = 2 gives maths function value = 0.3010)
Log Base e Takes loge of selected input. (For example: Input = 2 gives maths function value = 0.6931)
e to the power Takes natural antilog of input. (For example: Input = 0.6931 gives maths function value = 2)
Modulus This function copies the magnitude of the input value, without the sign. For example, the
modulus of value +100 = +100; the modulus of -100 = +100.
Channel Maximum Maths function value is the maximum value the input point has reached since last reset. When
reset, the value is reset to the current input value.
Channel Minimum Maths function value is the maximum value the input point has reached since last reset. When
reset, the value is reset to the current input value.
Channel Average Takes the average value of the selected channel over a specified time period. The time period
must be a multiple of 125 msecs. For example, a period of 0.2 seconds would be rejected, but
a period of 0.25 seconds would be accepted.
Rate of change Produces a value for the speed at which a signal changes over a specified period. See section
3.2.11 for further details.
O2 Correction This function carries out O2 correction of gas measurements for use in Continuous Emissions
Monitoring applications. See section 3.2.12 for details.
Relative Humidity This uses wet and dry bulb temeratures and atmospheric pressure inputs to produce a percent-
age Relative Humidity reading. See section 3.2.13 for details.
Zirconia probe Allows oxygen concentration and oxygen potential to be determined by solving the Nernst
oxygen equation. See section 3.2.14 for details.
Timestamp When triggered by an event or alarm job, this causes the current number of milliseconds since
00:00 hrs on 1st January 1970 to appear as the function value (1.047 x 1012 at time of writing
- 7th Mar 2003). If the selected PV format is date or time, the result is displayed as date or
time, respectively.
Config Revision Number* Allows the Configuration Revision number to be used as the input to a maths channel. When
this maths channel is included in a group, the user can determine the Configuration Revision
number obtaining at any time in the history record.
Security Revision Number* Allows the Security Revision number to be used as the input to a maths channel. When this
maths channel is included in a group, the user can determine the Security Revision number
obtaining at any time in the history record.

*Note: See section 4.6.5 of the User Guide for a description of the Configuration and Security

3.1.6 PV Format

Numeric Provides a decimal value for the maths channel.

Elapsed time Shows the maths channel value in HH:MM:SS (hours minutes, seconds) format. Normally used only
for time functions. For other functions, elapsed time counts in milliseconds e.g. a PV of 10000 would
be displayed as 00:00:10; a PV of 60000 would be displayed as 00:01:00
Scientific Values are displayed and entered as a decimal number between 1.0 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 must be 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.
Time/date For timestamp functions, displays the timestamp as time or date as selected, instead of a number of
milliseconds, as would be displayed in numeric format.

† 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.

3.2.2 Fvalue

To calculate the equivalent time at Sterilizing Temperature (for temperatures below, at and above Sterilizing Tempera-
ture) both in dry (FH) and steam (FO) sterilizing environments, using the following equation:
ma t − Target temp
Fval t = Fval t −1 + T × 10 Z

Where Fvalt = F value at time t (minutes)

Fvalt-1 = F value last iteration
T = Internal recorder iteration interval (minutes)

Target temp = 121.1˚C for FO; 170˚C for FH
Z = Temperature interval representing a factor-of-10 reduction in killing efficiency
= 10˚C for FO; = 20˚C for FH

User configuration consists of entering the channel which is measuring temperature, the relevant sterilizing tempera-
ture and temperature interval (Z-value) and a low cut-off value, if required.

Figure 3.2.2 shows the configuration fields for measuring Fo, using channel 1 as the temperature input channel, Fo
values for target temperature (121.1˚C) and z-value (10˚C), and 75˚C as the low cut-off value, below which killing

Application Note

To ensure that sterilizer loads which contain materials with differing thermal inertias are thoroughly sterilized, a typi-
cal sterilizer has up to 12 different measuring points within the load. To ensure accuracy, the temperature sensors
should be calibrated, and the channel adjustment facility used to compensate for any inaccuracies found.

If each of the inputs is used to compute an F value, each of these values can then be used as an input to a Group
Minimum function, with a high absolute alarm set at the correct F value. The alarm output can be used to sound a
warning, or an associated relay can be linked into the autoclave control system to signify the end of a sterilization
cycle.

3.2.3 Linear Mass flow

Note: The overall accuracy of a flow measurement installation depends on a number of factors outside the
control of the recorder manufacturer. For this reason, the recorder manufacturer takes no responsibility for
the accuracy of the results obtained using the mass flow equations implemented in the maths pack.

The equations solved is:

Flowt × AbsPt
QM t = K
Rg × Z × Temp

where, QMt = Mass flow (in kg/sec), at time ‘t’

K= Scaling factor (see below)
Rg = Specific gas constant in J/kg-K (see below)
Z= Compressibility factor (see below)
Flowt = Measured value from the flow meter at time ‘t’
AbsPt = Absolute pressure of the fluid at time ‘t’ in kPa(A)
Temp = Temperature of the fluid in Kelvins

SCALING FACTOR
This is determind from an assumed value of Qm at a known Flow, AbsP and Temp. The value is chosen to give an
output within the range low scale to high scale.

SPECIFIC GAS CONSTANT

The specific gas constant for any gas is available from published tables. For convenience, the value for a number of
common gases is given in table 3.2.3, below.

3.2.4 Root Mass flow

Note: The overall accuracy of a flow measurement installation depends on a number of factors outside
the control of the recorder manufacturer. For this reason, the recorder manufacturer takes no responsi-
bility for the accuracy of the results obtained using the mass flow equations implemented in the maths
pack.

The equations solved is:

K2 DeltaPt × AbsPt
QM t = Rg × Z × Temp

where, QMt = Mass flow (in kg/sec), at time ‘t’

K= Scaling factor (see below)
Rg = Specific gas constant in J/kg-K (see below)
Z= Compressibility factor (see below)
DeltaPt = Measured value across the orifice plate at time ‘t’
AbsPt = Absolute pressure of the fluid at the up-stream tapping at time ‘t’ in kPa(A)
Temp = Temperature of the fluid at the up-stream tapping in Kelvins

SCALING FACTOR
This is determind from an assumed value of Qm at a known DeltaP, AbsP and Temp. The value is chosen to give an
output within the range low scale to high scale.

SPECIFIC GAS CONSTANT

The specific gas constant for any gas is available from published tables. For convenience, the value for a number of
common gases is given in table 3.2.3, above.

COMPRESSIBILITY FACTOR (Z-FACTOR)

Compressibility factor is a density-related measure of how far a particular gas deviates from a ‘perfect’ gas under any
set of temperature and pressure conditions, and is give by the equation:
P 1
Z= ×
T ρ
where: Z= Compressibility factor
P= Absolute pressure of the gas in kPa(A)
T= Absolute temperature of the gas (Kelvins)

3.2.5 Rolling Average

This calculates the average value of the last R samples of a channel, taken at N second intervals, where R and N can
be defined by the user. At initiation, up to the time of the first sample reading, the displayed value is the average of
the channel sampled every iteration (i.e at 8 Hz.).

The number of readings over which the average can be taken is limited by the amount of free RAM instantaneously
available, and is thus dependent on the overall configuration of the recorder. An instrument alarm is generated if there
is insufficient free RAM available - see section 3.1.3 for details.

3.2.6 Mean Kinetic Temperature (MKT)

MKT is defined as 'the isothermal temperature that corresponds to the kinetic effects of time-temperature distribution'.
The recorder calculates MKT, using the equation below:

- ∆H
R
Tk =  - ∆H - ∆H - ∆H - ∆H 
ln  e RT1max + e RT1min + ... + e RTNmax + e RTNmin
 2N 
 
where: Tk = The required mean kinetic temperature in Kelvins
∆H = The heat of activation
R= The universal gas constant
T1max = The highest temperature reached during the first measurement period (in Kelvins)
T1min = The lowest temperature reached during the first measurement period (in Kelvins)
TNmax = The highest temperature reached during the Nth measurement period (in Kelvins)
TNmin = The lowest temperature reached during the Nth measurement period (in Kelvins)
N= The total number of measurement periods

As described in 'Configurable items, below, this is simplified for the recorder user , to four entries viz:: The number
of the channel measuring temperature, the number of samples to be used, the time between the samples and the rel-
evant 'Heat of Activation'.

Note: The input temperature must be in Kelvins. This can be achieved either by setting the relevant chan-
nel's units to Kelvins, or by using a further maths channel to convert the measuring units to Kelvins.
(K = ˚C + 273.15 or K = 0.555(˚F -32) + 273.15).

(see 'Note' on previous page).
Number of Samples Enter the number of samples over which the MKT is to be measured.
Sample interval Enter the time period, in seconds, between samples. At each sample interval, the maximum
and minimum temperatures reached by the input source, since the last sample, are entered into
the equation.
Heat of Activation The default value is an average value based on many common organic reactions. Allows the
user to enter an alternative value, if known.

EXAMPLE 1: To Produce a 4-weekly value of MKT, taking samples every day.

Number of samples = 28
Sample interval = No. of seconds in a day = 24 x 60 x 60 = 86,400

EXAMPLE 2: To produce an annual value of MKT, taking samples every week.

Number of sample = 52
Sample interval = No. of seconds in a week = 7 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 604,800

Notes
1 This function produces a 'rolling' result. I.E. when the final (Nth) sample has been taken, the next sample
(N + 1)th replaces Sample 1, the (N + 2th) sample replaces Sample 2, and so on.
2 During the first sample, the current minimum and maximum values of temperature are entered into the
equation at the recorder iteration rate (i.e. 8Hz).
3. The number of readings over which the value can be taken is limited by the amount of free RAM instan-
taneously available, and is thus dependent on the overall configuration of the recorder. An instrument
alarm is generated if there is insufficient free RAM available - see section 3.1.3 for details.

Table 3.2.7 Pressure unit conversion

The table above shows multiplying factors to convert common pressure units to MPa. This conversion is carried out
as follows:

Example: A pressure transducer, connected to input channel 3 gives an output in the range10 to 100 PSI. The input to
a steam equation in maths channel 1 requires the pressure units to be MPa. To convert, set up a further maths channel
(e.g. No. 2) as shown below, then use maths channel 2 as the source channel for the pressure input to the steam equa-
tion.
The suggested scale low/high values are based on the resulting pressure range in MPa - i.e 0.06895 to 0.6895.

3.2.14 Zirconia probe

A zirconia (oxygen) probe consists of two platinum electrodes bonded to a pellet or cylinder of zirconia. At elevated
temperatures, such a probe develops an emf across it which is proportional to probe temperature and to the log of the
difference in oxygen partial pressure between its two ends.

OXYGEN CONCENTRATION
In order to measure oxygen concentrations, one end of the probe is inserted into the atmosphere to be measured,
whilst the other is subjected to a reference atmosphere. For most applications, air provides a suitable reference (refer-
ence input = 20.95 for air).

The temperature of the probe is normally measured using a type K or type R thermocouple. The temperature efect on
the thermocouple is such, that for successful operation the probe temperature must be greater than 973K (700˚C).

The equation solved by the maths function is:

P1
P2 = E
10 0.0496 × T
where:
P2 = Partial pressure of oxygen in the sampled gas (%)
P1 = partial pressure of oxygen in the reference atmosphere (%) (20.95% for air)
E= Electromotive force (emf) across the probe in mV
T= Probe temperature in Kelvins

ous temperatures.

Too obtain a useful result, it is necessary to scale correctly.

The channel which is measuring the probe output would nornally need to be set to: Input Type = mV; Input low = 0;
imput high = 100..

A typical temperature-measuring channel might be set up as:

Input Type = Thermocouple; Lin type = Type K; Range low = 273; Range high = 1800, Range units = K.
The maths channel scaling would typically be configured as:
Units = %; Scale Low = 0; Scale High = 5 (for boiler flues) or 10 (for kilns).

OXYGEN POTENTIAL

The oxygen potential of an atmosphere is a measurement of its ability to oxidise or reduce. for any alament, a value
of oxygen potential (free energy of formation) is known. Above this value, the material will oxidise, below it, no
oxidisation will occur. Figure 3.2.14c, below, is a free energy diagram for a number of oxidising processes.

Oxygen potential is given by the equation

Op = 0.00457 × T × log Op ′
Where: Op = Required oxygen potential (in kilocalories)
T= Probe temperature (in Kelvins)
Op’ = Partial pressure of oxygen in the reference atmosphere (in atmospheres)

It can be shown that, because the oxygen potential of air is essentially constant over the range 870 to 1450 kelvins, the
zirconia probe output is proportional to the oxygen potential of an atmospher, according to:
E = (10.84 × T) + 40 mV (in the range 870 to 1450 K)

Thus, it is possible to measure oxygen potential directly from a zirconia probe, usin a standard input channel of the
instrument, scaled in units of oxygen potential. A typical configuration might be:
Input Type = mV; Input low = 40; Input high = 1124; Scale low = -100; Scale high = 0; Units kCal. Such a configu-
ration would be suitable over the temperature range 873 to 1473 K (600 to 1200 ˚C).

3.2.15 Group Minimum

The following description assumes a group name of ‘Furnace 1’, which contains four channels with descriptors ‘Temp
1’, ‘Temp 2’, ‘Temp 3’ and ‘Temp 4’

The output of the Group Minimum function is the current lowest value of any of the points in the source group. The
required source group is selected by picklist. Should a point return a non-valid value, it is excluded from the calcula-
tion, and the result of the function is the minimum of the remaining points.

DESCRIPTORS
As a part of the Group Minimum function configuration, it is possible to select one of two types of descriptor: ‘User
Defined’ and ‘Minimum Channel’. Figure 3.2.15, below shows the relevant area of the configuration page.

User Defined Descriptor.

This allows a descriptor to be entered in the normal way. For example ‘Furnace 1 min temp’. This descriptor is cop-
ied to the Maths Number field at the top of the display page.

Minimum Channel Descriptor

This selection causes the descriptor of the point with the instantaneous current lowest value in the group, to become
the (non-editable) maths channel descriptor. For example if the four channels in the group (Temp 1 to Temp 4) have
the instantaneous values 800, 950, 790 and 873 respectively, then the Descriptor will be ‘Temp 3’ . Should Temp 3
rise above 800, whilst all the others remain static, then the Descriptor would become ‘Temp 1’.

The ‘Maths Number’ field which normally copies the maths channel descriptor, contains instead the text: ‘N) Group N
minimum’, where ‘Group N’ is the default name of the source group.

A typical application of the ‘Minimum channel descriptor’ would be to include the descriptor in a message sent to the
chart on a regular basis by a Timer function. Section 4.3.8 of the User Guide describes the entry of the messages, and
section 6 of this Options manual describes the setting up of timers.

A typical message entry would be:

Message: Lowest temperature is {1} at chan {2}
Replace {1} with: Specified Value
{1} source: Group 1 minimum
Replace {2} with: Specified Descriptor
{2} source: Group 1 Minimum
resulting in a message such as:
24/06/03 14:22:06 Lowest temperature is 790.00Units at chan Temp 3.
where ‘Units’ is the text entered in the Group Minimum maths channel configuration, not that for the input channel,
although typically, they would be the same.

Note: The Group configuration checkboxes for maths channels with‘’Minimum Channel Descriptor’ se-
lected, are ‘greyed’. thus preventing such channels from being used as inputs to thir own source group. See
section 4.3.2 of the User Guide for Group configuration details.

4 TOTALISER OPTION

4.1 INTRODUCTION

Each totaliser allows the user to maintain a running total of any input channel, or of any maths channel. Using the
maths functions, it is possible to totalise combinations of input channels, so the value of two channels added together,
or the difference between two channels could be totalised if required. The totaliser equation is :

ma t
tot t = tot t-1 +
PSF × USF
where tott = totaliser value this sample*
tott-1 = totaliser value last sample*
mat = value of totalised channel this sample*
PSF = Period Scaling Factor (See Period scaler description below)
USF = Units Scaling Factor (See Unit scaler description below)

1
*Note: Time between samples (seconds) =
sample rate of recorder (Hz)
See ‘Update information’ in Annex A for details.

4.2 CONFIGURATION

Figure 4.2, below, shows a typical (enabled) totaliser configuration page

Totaliser Number Allows any of the available totalisers to be selected from the picklist, for configuration.

Enable Allows the user to enable/disable the totaliser.

Value Shows the (dynamic) current value of the selected totaliser.

Total of Allows an input channel or a maths channel to be selected as the source to be totalised.

Low Cutoff The value of the source channel (in engineering units) below which it is not to be totalised.

High Cutoff The value of the source channel (in engineering units) above which it is not to be totalised.

Units The totalised units (e.g. m3)

Preset Allows the entry of a 10-character positive, or nine-character negative value from which the
totaliser is to start counting.
Direction of counting is defined by the sign of the Unit scaler viz: + = increment; - = decre-
ment.
Preset now Operation of this key initiates the totaliser preset.

Period Scaler The totaliser equation works in seconds. If the totalised channel units are other than ‘per
second’ a period scaler other than the default (1) must be entered. For example, if the input
channel is in litres per hour, then the period scaler would have to be the number of seconds in
an hour (3600).

Unit Scaler If, for example, the input channel is in litres per hour, the totalised value will be in litres,
unless the unit scaler is set to a value other than 1. If it is more convenient, the totalised value
can be in thousands of litres by setting the unit scaler to 1000. Setting the unit scaler negative
causes the totaliser to decrement rather than increment.

Scale Low/High The 'zero' and full scale values for the totaliser, as traced on the screen.

If A/B switching is enabled, a second set of scale low and scale 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 of the User Guide.

The remaining configuration items are identical with the relevant items in Input Channel configuration (section 4.3.3
of the User Guide). For job information, see section 4.7 of the User Guide.

5 COUNTER OPTION

5.1 INTRODUCTION

This option introduces a number (depends on recorder model) of counters, which can be preset, disabled, incremented
or decremented by Job action (see section 4.7 of the User Guide for Job details). If access is permitted, the user can
preset the counter to a selected value, as and when required, from the configuration page.

If the Batch option is fitted (section 1), then batches can be started when a specified counter changes value, and if this
is done, the batch number is the value of the specified counter.

Counter number Allows any of the available counters to be selected for configuration
Enable Allows the user to start/stop counting by enabling/disabling the counter.
Value Shows the current dynamic value of the counter
Units Allows a text string of up to 5 characters to be entered as a units description
Preset Allows a counter value to be entered for manual or job action preset.
Scale low/high The values to appear at the scale endpoints. If A/B switching is enabled, a second set of scale
low and scale 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 of the User Guide.
The remaining configuration items are as described for input channels in section 4.3.3 of the User Guide.

Note: An absolute high alarm (for example) with a threshold of 10, will not be triggered until the
value exceeds 10 (i.e. counter value = 11). In order to trip the alarm at 10, a threshold lower than 10
must be entered (e.g. threshold = 9.5). A similar situation exists for absolute low and deviation alarms.

6 TIMERS OPTION

6.1 INTRODUCTION

This option offers a number of count-down timers which can be used for general timing purposes. The timers can be
either one-shot or repeating, and can be initiated in the following ways:

1. directly by the operator from the configuration page (if access permission is granted),
2. by job action (see section 4.7 of the User Guide),
3. at a predefined time/date,
4. every ‘time period’, where the ‘time period’ can be configured to be anything from 1 second to 1 year. For exam-
ple, setting seconds to ‘30’ and leaving all other fields ‘Any’, the timer will start every minute on the half minute.
Setting seconds to ‘30’ and minutes to ‘0’ will cause the timer to start at 30 seconds past each hour.

Note: Times are not adjusted for Daylight Saving changes. Thus if the timer is set to trigger on a daily,
weekly, etc, basis, then, during 'Summer Time', the trigger will occur an hour late (i.e. at 01:00 hrs. instead of
at midnight).

The full range of jobs is available as described in section 4.7 of the User Guide. 'Timer Active' is defined as an inter-
nal event trigger (see section 4.3.6 of the User Guide).

7 EVENT INPUTS

Note: This option is not supported by all models. The maximum number of event inputs is model dependent.

7.1 INTRODUCTION

Each Event input option board offers six isolated event input circuits. Inputs can either be switch closures or voltage
levels.

Section 4.3.6 'Event Configuration' in the User Guide, describes the use of events, and how they can be ANDed and
ORed together to perform logic functions if required. Job lists can be triggered by any event, either 'internal' or as a
result of external events wired to the event input board. If this option is fitted, ‘Event Input Board’ appears as an
event source.

If ‘Event Input Board’ is selected as a source, the ‘Board’ number and the event ‘Input’ number on that board must be
specified.

Number of inputs (maximum)

180mm recorders: 24 inputs (four boards with six inputs per board)
100 mm recorders: 12 inputs (two boards with six inputs per board)
Data logging and acquisition units: 12 inputs (two boards with six inputs per board)

Event input to event input: 0V
Event input to ground: 100V RMS or dc (double insulation)

Operating levels
Voltage levels An event is considered to be ‘Active’ if the voltage at its input terminal is between +0.8 and - 30 V with respect to the
‘C’ terminal. It is considered ‘Inactive’ if the voltage is between +2V and +30V. Status is not guaranteed for voltages
between the above values
Maximum input voltage ± 30V with respect to ‘C’
Maximum input frequency 4 Hz
Current sink requirements (Voltage i/p) 10mA

Contact closures
Contact resistances An event is considered to be ‘Active’ if the resistance between its input termninal and the ‘C’ terminal is less than
35kΩ. It is considered ‘Inactive’ if the resistance is greater 200kΩ. Status is not guaranteed for resistances between
the above values

Minimum durations
Recognition time The minimum time for which the contact closure must be maintained is 62.5 msec. This protects against switch
‘bounce’, and against most transients. Transients lasting more than 62.5 msec will cause a trigger to occur, lasting one
iteration period (125 msec)

8 ISOLATED TRANSMITTER POWER SUPPLY (TRS) OPTION

Note: This option is not available for all Models

8.1 INTRODUCTION
WARNING!
Transmitter power supplies must not be used with dc supply voltages.

Notes:
1. Transmitter power supplies are not suitable for use with low-voltage ac supplies.
2 The transmitter power supply is available only with 100 mm. recorders.

This option consists of a circuit board, terminal block and suitable wiring inside a long terminal cover at the rear of a
100mm recorder. The board supplies three mutually isolated dc supplies (nominal 25 Volts) each of which is intended
to power a single 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA current loop.

8.2 FUSING

8.2.1 Fuse Rating

The circuit board is protected by a 20 mm anti-surge (type T) fuse, the value of which depends on the supply voltage
as shown in table 8.2.1, below.

Access to the output wiring and to the fuse is achieved by isolating the recorder from mains power and opening the
terminal cover (after removing its securing screw). The process is fully described below.

9.1 INTRODUCTION

The transmitter power supply shares the same board as the Relay/ethernet option, and is therefore available only if the
Relay/Ethernet option is also fitted. The option is capable of supplying, continuously, a total of 120 mA at a nominal
24 Volts. This allows up to six 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA transmitters to be powered.

9. 2 PINOUT

Pinout is from a two-pin plug at the rear of the recorder, as shown in figure 9.3.1, below

10 PORTABLE CASE OPTIONS

Note: Portable case options are not available for some Models

The various options described below come provided in a rugged carrying case as depicted in figure 10, below,

It is possible that input/output circuits can carry high voltages, and this might prove dangerous if the safety earth con-
nection to the recorder is not in place (e.g. the plug is pulled out) at any time whilst such hazardous voltages are
present. Therefore, the following warning must be complied with:

* WARNING
For portable case instruments only:
All I/O connections must be SELV (33V ac RMS, 46,7V ac peak, 70Vdc) unless the integrity of the instru-
ment safety earth is maintained for as long as the I/O is connected to the recorder.

11 EMAIL

This option allows e-mails to be sent by the instrument to one or more recipients. The user can enter 10 recipient e-
mail addresses in each of five mailing lists, giving a maximum of 50 addresses, 10 of which can be sent to at any one
time. A Recipient can appear in as many lists as required.

A number of e-mails can be set up, but which of these e-mails is sent, is defined during job or Event Button configura-
tion. Any function capable of triggering a job, can cause any of the available e-mails to be sent. The number of e-
mails available depends on the instrument model.

As well as a ‘Subject’, and the body text, each e-mail can include one of the messages set up in ‘Message Configura-
tion’, and can thus include embedded values, alarm status, batch status etc., as described in section 4.3 of the User
Guide.

11.1.1 Configurable parameters

This subsection contains details of the parameters that appear in the E-mail configuration page (figure 11.1 above).
Figure 11.2 (below) may also be referred-to for further explanation.

Mail Server Enter the name of the mail server or IP address here. This is the destination to which e-mails
are sent, for subsequent delivery.
Port Number This is the port number used for SMTP by the servers. Most servers use port 25 for this
function, and this value should be changed from the default only by experienced personnel.
Sender For DNS operation, this is a combination of the Local Host and Domain entries set up in the
‘Network/Name’ area of configuration described in section 4.5 of the user guide.
If Fixed I.P. Address is selected, the I.P. Address appears instead.
The unit accesses the ‘Sender’ information automatically, and it cannot be edited here. The
‘Sender’ is placed in the ‘From:’ part of the e-mail header.
Errors To An e-mail address to which any error messages can be sent for display etc. The instrument
itself cannot receive e-mails and so is unable to display (for example ‘undeliverable’) mes-
sages itself. An entry in this field must be made. The same address may be used for any
number of instruments.
Retry time The product tries repeatedly (until successful) to dispatch the e-mail until the ‘Retry time’ has
expired. If the e-mail has not been sent within this period, it is deleted, and a ‘General’
message is generated.
Recipient List Allows a list to be chosen for entry of recipient e-mail addresses
Descriptor Allows a name to be entered for the selected list.
Rcpt1 to Rcpt10 These fields allow 10 recipients’ e-mail addresses to be entered for the selected list. The first
valid address appears in the ‘To:’ part of the e-mail header; subsequent valid addresses appear
in the ‘Cc:’ part of the e-mail header.
Email Number Allows an e-mail to be selected for configuration. The number of e-mails available depends
on the instrument model.
Descriptor Allows a descriptor to be entered for the e-mail. This appears in the list of e-mails when
setting up a job, and also in the message log.
Protocol Choose one of ‘SMPT (Email)’, ‘SMS (Subject Only)’ and ‘SMS (Body Only)’. Section 11.3,
below gives some details of the application of the SMS protocol in this instrument.
SMPT (Email).
Selecting this protocol allows both a Subject and Body text to be entered.
SMS (Subject Only).
Selecting this protocol allows a subject to be entered, but the entry field for the body text is
not presented for use. Any text previously entered here, whilst another protocol was
selected, is lost.
SMS (Body Only)
Selecting this protocol allows Body text to be entered, but the Subject field is not dis-
played. Any text previously entered as a Subject, whilst another protocol was selected, is
lost.
Subject Allows the entry of up to 100 characters to appear in the ‘Subject:’ part of the e-mail header.
The field does not appear if ‘SMS Body Only’ is selected as the Protocol.
Text Allows the entry of up to 240 characters to appear as the body of the e-mail. The field does
not appear if ‘SMS Subject Only’ is selected as the Protocol. Also referred to as ‘Body Text’.

11.2 E-MAIL DETAILS

Figure 11.2 depicts an e-mail using fictitious entries.

Instrument's Local Host address

(or IP address, if fixed)

First valid recipient address

Header
Further valid recipients

'Subject' entry

'Text' entry
Body
(body text)

Message
(if 'Include message' checked)

Figure 11.2 E-mail appearance

The figure above shows that the e-mail is in two distinct parts, the header (grey area) and the body (white area).

11.2.1 The header area

The header contains details of the sender, the recipient(s), the subject and the time and date.

Note: The time and date may be local to the generating instrument, or local to the recipient, depending on the
recipient’s mail host configuration

The header is important in the prevention of ‘spamming’. The instrument adheres to the RFC2822 standard with re-
spect to e-mail headers. Some servers are stricter than others, and it is not guaranteed that an e-mail generated by the
instrument will not be interpreted as a spam message by the receiving server.

From:
This contains either the ‘Local Host’ name (as defined in Network/Name Setup) and mailserver address, or the IP
address if a fixed IP address is selected in Network/Address settings. See section 4.5 of the User Guide for details of
the Network key.

To:
The first valid recipient address in the selected list.

CC:
The remaining valid addresses in the recipient list

Subject:
Contains the subject text entred during configuration. Empty if ‘SMS Body’ selected as Protocol

11.2.2 The body area

This contains the body text, along with any appended messages. In the example above the message has the embedded
values of Instrument name, Instrument number, channel 1 alarm 1 status, as implied by the body text.

11.3 OPERATION

1. E-mails are generated either by job or (if the relevant options are fitted) by operation of an Event Button from a
User screen (see note below).
2. Every time the sending of an e-mail is requested, a ‘General’ note is generated and appears in the message log for
all groups. The format is: Date, Time Sent <e-mail descriptor> to List N, where <e-mail descriptor> represents
the descriptor entered in the configuration page for the e-mail, and ‘List N’ is the recipient list to whom the e-
mail was sent.
3. Access to e-mails is restricted to users with ‘Full Configuration’ permission.
4. Signing/Authorizing restrictions can be applied only to e-mails generated by Event button operation, as part of
the Event button’s configuration (section 4.3 of the user guide).
5. The instrument implements the Simple Message Transfer Protocol (SMTP), incorporating Multipurpose Internet
Mail extensions.
6. The instrument does not implement the Short Message Service (SMS) protocol, though it is able to send SMS
messages to a mobile phone via an appropriate server or gateway. As some servers/gateways use the ‘subject’ as
the SMS message, and others use the body text, these alternatives are provided for in the Protocol pick list in the
Configuration page (see section 11.1).
7. A new event source ‘Email fail’ can be used to trigger a job list should an e-mail send failure occur.

Note: User screens and Event button options are not supported by all models.
