DCP200 Profile Controller & Recorder - Product Manual

If the option to uploaded a profile is chosen, a list of profiles in the connected instrument is shown. The user can select the required profile from the list.

A directory of existing profiles in the instrument can also be requested. This allows one or all of the profiles to be deleted.

When downloading a profile to the instrument via the configuration socket or over serial communications, a list of existing profiles and empty profile slots is displayed. The user can select where to place the profile (a warning is shown if the profile will overwrite an existing profile).

The number of free segments still available is also shown.

A drop-down menu in the Profile Editor switches between the Profile Header and Segment Data. Refer to the Profiler Setup Menu and Profiler Option sections for full details of the header and segment data.

Header data includes a 16-character profile name, options for starting the profile after a delay or at a specific day and time, the starting setpoint, the action to take after a power failure or profile abort and the number of times the profile will run.

The segments are shown in Segment Data mode. The last segment is always an End, Join or Repeat Sequence type, and cannot be deleted. The user can select and change any segment’s type and values, and they can insert additional segments before the selected one. A dynamically scaled graphic shows the segments of the profile, with the select segment is highlighted in red. The five profile events are shown below the graph.
