been installed in the unit, a user will need to log on before a reading can be recorded (see Logging On and Logging Off below).
The database orientation affects the process of selection of products and processes/locations for recording readings. If the database process/location oriented, a process/location (the primary key) is selected first and then a product under that process/location (the secondary key) is selected before a reading is taken. Alternatively, if the database is product oriented, a product (the primary key) is selected first and then a process/location (the secondary key) under that product is selected before a reading is taken.
If a database is not manually ordered, a letter of the alphabet is chosen before a list of primary key items is displayed, centred around items beginning with the chosen letter. For example, if the database is process/location oriented, a list of processes/locations will be displayed, centred around the letter previously chosen. Alternatively, if the database is product oriented, a list of products is displayed, centred around the letter previously chosen. If the database is not automatically sorted alphabetically, the primary items are presented in the order specified when the database was created.
To begin taking readings, first press the PRODUCT button. If there is a user list installed in the unit and no user is currently logged on, a user will have to log on, via the
The following examples illustrate the selection of a product and process/location in order to take a reading.
For example, if the database is product oriented, manual ordering is disabled, and there is no user list installed in the unit:
Press
Select, using the arrow buttons, the letter of the alphabet corresponding to the initial of the product you wish to measure the temperature of, and press ENTER.
Select a product, using the up and down arrow buttons, and press ENTER.
Select a process/location, using the up and down arrow buttons, and press ENTER.
Alternatively, if the database is process/location oriented, manual ordering is enabled, and there is a user list installed:
Press
Enter a valid user PIN code, using the digit keys, and press ENTER (see Logging On and Logging Off, later in this chapter, for more information).
Select a process/location, using the up and down arrow buttons, and press ENTER. Select a product, using the up and down arrow buttons, and press ENTER.
