Delta Electronics SS1-UM-1.05 What to do if you get lost, Starting SunData in the Workabout

Page 15

Warning! If you were already in the Psion System Screen, you’ll see a message Exit System Screen? Press N, so that you stay in the System Screen.

From this point you can launch SunData, the SunScan application, but first it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the Workabout’s keyboard. The main uses of the keys are explained in the Workabout user Guide on pages 10 and 11.

The following keys are particularly important for the Workabout:

Menu

Pops up a menu of options relevant to your current activity

 

 

 

↑

↓

Move the cursor up and down menu options, or adjust the value of a set-

up parameter

 

 

←

→

Cycle through the available settings for a menu option

 

 

 

Enter

Carry out highlighted activity, choose menu option or accept highlighted

setting

 

 

On/Esc

Exit from current activity or menu, abandoning any changes

Tab

 

Gives you and expanded range of choices, especially in file operations

 

 

 

What to do if you get lost

The important thing to remember is that you can get out of any menu by pressing On/Esc, and out of any application by pressing ∪ +X. This should get you back to the Psion System Screen, as shown above. If things get really stuck, you may have to reset the Workabout, as explained in its manual on page 20.

Starting SunData in the Workabout

♦In the System Screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the SunData application, and then press Enter.

SunData will load and then flash up communicating as it tries to connect to the probe. Since you haven’t yet connected the probe, it will let you know that Communications failed, and display this screen (the title screen):

Now, you need to tell SunData to work in Emulator mode.

♦ Press Menu and then use the ← → arrow keys to select the Settings menu, which will look like this:

♦Use the ↑↓↓ arrow keys to highlight

SunScan Probe, and press Enter to pop

up a dialog box with options on which sensors you have attached.

♦ Use the ← → arrow keys to change the Data from: setting to emulator like this:

♦Set the Ext sensor to BFS so that a Beam Fraction Sensor will also be emulated.

♦Press Enter to accept this setting and return to the title screen.
