Omega Vehicle Security HHTFO manual FOB100 Console

Page 30

All dials share the same Min / Max reading setting. Refresh rate is always 1.0 sec. The size of this window will adapt to the number of displayed channels. Up to 16 dials can be shown; if you want to display more than 16 channels, only the first 16 detected channels will be shown (note that any channel that has its “Chart” checkbox unchecked, in the main window, will not be shown).

If an alarm is active for a channel, the corresponding dial numbers will change color: blue for a low temperature alarm, or red for a high temperature alarm.

8.4 The FOB100 Console

You must be in “System Configuration” mode to use the console. The Console should be used only by experienced users.

The console, which can be invoked through the Window and then Open Console from FOB100-SOFT main window menu bar, is useful to manage each Omega thermometer in details. Take note that the console can only be open when no temperature acquisition is taking place. It can be useful also to understand problems and malfunctions that a module may exhibit. It operates in a similar fashion as Windows HyperTerminal.

The console can be used to get information such as:

Information on calibration date, serial number, etc.

Enable / disable channels

Set the analog output parameters (zero and span) (FOB100 series only)

Control operational features, such as fast/slow scanning more, etc.

And so forth.

The following illustrates the FOB100 Console:
