Removing a Display Screen

Removing a Display Screen	ION 7500 / ION 7600 User’s Guide

You can find instructions on reinitializing factory configurations in your User’s

Guide.

Use caution when deleting modules, as any dependant modules are also affected.

Designer informs you of dependant modules if they exist on the same node.

To remove a data display screen:

1.Launch Designer.

2.Select the Display module responsible for the screen.

3.Press delete. This also deletes all links to that particular Display module.

If the display screen you are deleting is part of the automatic scrolling cycle, you should reconfigure the links from the Scroll module’s Trigger outputs to the remaining Display modules so that the following considerations hold true:

◆The first Display module in the scrolling cycle is linked to the Trigger 1 output of the Scroll module.

◆The last Display module in the scrolling cycle (module n) is linked to the Trigger n output of the Scroll module. For example, if your scrolling cycle consists of 5 screens, then Trigger 5 should be linked to the fifth module in the cycle.

◆The Wraparound setup register of the Scroll module designates the last trigger output (Trigger n). Expanding on the previous example, since Trigger 5 is the last trigger, the Scroll module’s Wraparound setup register would have a value of 5.

Adding a New Display Screen

For the ION 8000 Series, ION 7500, and ION 7600 meters, you can create a new front panel display without dismantling any of the existing displays.

NOTE

You cannot add a new display screen for the ION 7300 Series meters; there are no available Display modules that you can create. Instead, you must re-configure one of the existing factory-configured display screens. See the following section “Changing Displayed Parameters in an Existing Screen” on page 199.

To add a new display screen in Designer:

1.Create a Display module.

2.Define the modules characteristics (display format) by adjusting its setup registers.

3.Link any required data to the Source inputs of the Display module.

If you want your new screen to appear in the automatic scrolling cycle, then you must link the Show input of the Display module to a Trigger output of a Scroll module. See “Removing a Display Screen” on page 198 for considerations on re- linking Scroll module Trigger outputs.
