Teledyne 300M 4.3Setting the Time-of-Day, Setting the Date, Adjusting the Clock Speed

Teledyne API Model 300M CO Analyzer Instruction Manual, 04033, Rev. A

4.The concentration value is linearized over the range of 0 to 20,000 PPM by a multi-point software look-up table and corrected for temperature and pressure.

5.An average of the last 200 samples is computed and converted to the number displayed on the front panel. This is the Carbon Monoxide concentration. The number is also routed to the D/A converter and the resulting voltage is output at the back panel to the recorder and DAS (datalogger).

4.3Setting the Time-of-Day

To set the current time-of-day, which is used for determining when to do an automatic calibration and for time-stamping the RS-232 reports, press SETUP-CLK-TIME. The CPU will display the current time-of-day as four digits in the format "HH:MM", where "HH" is the hour in 24-hour format (i.e. hours range from 00 to 23) and "MM" the time-of-day and then press ENTR to accept the new time, or press EXIT to leave the time unchanged.

4.4 Setting the Date

To set the current date, press SETUP-CLK-DATE. The CPU will display the current date as "DD MMM YY". For example, April 1, 1999 would be displayed as "0 1 APR 9 9". Change the date by pressing the button under each field until the desired date is shown. Then press ENTR to accept the new date or press EXIT to leave the date unchanged.

4.5 Adjusting the Clock Speed

In order to compensate for clock which run a little bit fast or slow, there is a variable to speed up or slow down the clock by a fixed amount every day. To change this variable, press SETUP- MORE-VARS. Press NEXT until the CLOCK_ADJ variable is displayed. To change the setting, press the EDIT key and enter the value from the keyboard. Press ENTR to accept the change. This variable is set to the number of seconds per day by which to speed up or slow down the clock. It should only need to be set once for each analyzer. For example, if the clock is running 10 seconds fast each day, set the variable to -10 and press ENTR. (Note that -10 indicates that we want the clock to run 10 seconds slower each day.) If the clock is running 10 seconds slow each day, set the variable to +10, indicating that we want the clock to run 10 seconds faster each day.
