Teledyne API Model 100AH SO2 Analyzer Instruction Manual, 02417, Rev. D

10.3.1.3 Front Panel Keyboard

The keyboard consists of 8 keys and 3 LED's. Key strokes are sent to the SBC40 computer's parallel port. The computer software detects the key strokes via interrupts. The bottom line of the display consists of 40 characters which is divided into 8 - 5 character fields. Each field defines the function of the key immediately below it. The definition of the keys is variable and depends on the menu level of the software.

To check the operation of the keyboard, each key should perform an operation indicated by its current definition shown on the second line of the display.

Example #1 - testing key#1 (left most key).

At the top level menu key #1 is defined as the TEST function. Pressing this key should cause the middle field of the top line of the display to show the various test functions.

Example #2 - testing key #8 (right most key). At the top level menu key #8 is defined as the SETUP key. Pressing key #8 should cause the SETUP menu to be displayed.

Example #3 - If the 5 character field above any key is blank, the key is not defined, pressing the key has no effect.

The 3 status LED's indicate several functional states of the instrument such as calibration, fault, and sample modes. The state of the LED's is controlled by 3 lines on the parallel port of the SBC40. Functioning of the LED's can be checked by:

1.Turn off the M100AH power.

2.While watching the LED's, turn on the instrument power.

3.When the power comes up, the computer momentarily applies power to all 3 LED's for approximately 1 sec. If all the LED's are observed to light, they are working properly.
