DCP200 Profile Controller & Recorder - Product Manual

Instrument Configuration

When creating a new configuration with the software, the basic instrument type and the options to be fitted to it must be defined in the Device Selection screen. You can select these from the drop down lists or by typing the full model number in the Order number field.

Note:

It is important that the options selected match those fitted to your unit.

Alternatively the complete instrument type and existing configuration can be uploaded to the PC from your instrument, via the configuration socket or serial communications module. A previously saved configuration file can also be opened from the file open menu or button. Once the required changes have been made, the configuration can then be download to the instrument or saved to disk with a .bct file extension. The configuration file contains the device information and configuration parameter settings, including any supervisor and enhanced operation mode screens and changes to the LED functions. Profiles, splash screens and language files are not saved in the .bct file. They are uploaded/saved separately.

A hard copy of the instrument configuration and terminal wiring can be printed from the File Print menu.

Parameter configuration

The main parameter screen contains all of the instrument settings broken down into functional groups. The parameters can be changed in the yellow Value column. Type in a new value or select from the list offered, as appropriate. The possible value range is show to the left. If an invalid value is entered, it will be highlighted in red. Parameters are “greyed out” if the are currently inaccessible due the hardware not being fitted or if they are disabled by other settings.

Configuring Supervisor Mode

Users can access to a lock code protected sub-set of the configuration parameters that have been defined from the software. Up to 50 of the parameters can be copied into this mode. To define these screens, first select Supervisor Mode from the mode drop-down list.

Select the functional group containing the parameter to be added. Highlight the parameter Name and click the Add Entry button. The Move Entry Up and Down buttons are used to change the order which the parameters will appear in Supervisor Mode. Unwanted entries can be highlighted and deleted with the Remove Entry button.

Configuring Enhanced Operator Mode

Users can access sub-set of the configuration parameters at the end of the normal Operation Mode screen sequence, that have been defined from the software. Up to 50 parameters can be copied in a similar manner to the Supervisor Mode selection by selecting Enhanced Operation Mode from the mode drop-down list. Note: Any parameters copied into the Enhanced Operation mode are not password protected.
