information.
The Home Status display consists of four zone quadrants. Each zone has 4 lines,
containing 20 characters each, and can be individually configured to show useful
information with minimum clutter.
To configure zone displays, press the
Display

Configuring a temperature sensor
Configuring an input sensor from the front panel is performed by using the Input
Channel Configuration Menu. First, press input channel key
ChA
,
ChB
,
ChC
, or
ChD
to select the desired channel for configuration.
The first line of the Input Channel Configuration menu is used to change the sensor
units. It shows the selected input channel, the current
temperature (in real time) and the current units. An
example is shown here.
To change the sensor units, use the
+
and
0
keys to scroll through the available
options. When the desired units are shown, press the
Enter
key to make the
selection. The display will now show the current temperature with the new units.
Next, go to the sensor selection field by pressing the down arrow navigation key. This
field is used to select the actual sensor type. In the example shown below, the input
channel is currently configured for a standard Cryo-con S900 diode sensor. Use the
+
and
0
keys to scroll through the available sensors including user sensors. When the
desired sensor is shown, press the
Enter
key to make the selection. A complete
listing of selectable sensors is given in
Appendix A.
Before one of the user-supplied sensors can be
used, the sensor’s calibration curve and configuration data must be installed. This is
best done by using Cryo-con’s utility software.
This completes the process of configuring an input channel. Press the
Home
key to
return to the Home Status display.
