16 Section 5: Setting Up Transducers
After setting up the basic test parameters using the
SETUP TEST
function, you need to identify the transducers that will be connected
to each input channel. Once identified, the HERMIT 2000 will have
enough information to convert the output of each transducer to the
appropriate measurement units.
To access the transducer menus, press the
XD
(transducer) key when you are at the
READY
display.
Transducer parameters for the current test number can be pro-
grammed or modified while in any test mode (idle, running, etc.).
The display will show the transducer
menu for input channel 1.
Use the
SCAN
keys to move to the
desired input channel. The menu
selections vary automatically to
match the data type of the input
channel.
Assigning an I.D.
Each input channel can be assigned an eight-character identifica-
tion to help document field test conditions. You can program the
I.D. with a well number, transducer serial number, or any other piece
of meaningful information. The I.D. is optional and may be left
blank.
Press
F2
in any transducer main
menu to select the
I.D.
option.
You will be prompted to enter the I.D.
The current setting of the I.D. is
shown within brackets.
You can key in digits directly using
the numeric keypad . . .
. . . or use the
SCAN
keys to change a
keyed digit to any character or sym-
bol.
You can key in up to 8 digits, sym-
bols, or characters. Longer entries
will be truncated to the first 8 char-
acters. Entries less than 8 characters
will be left-justified and padded with spaces.
When you press
ENTER
, the display
will return to the transducer menu.
The I.D. will replace the type descrip-
tion in the top line of the display.
Clearing an I.D.
The input channel I.D. will be output with printouts, plots, and data
transfers, and will be copied along with other transducer param-
eters from test to test. Keying in a new I.D. will overwrite an old I.D.
in the same manner as keying in a new numeric value will replace
an old value. Use the following procedure to completely clear an
unwanted I.D.
Press
F2
to select the
I.D.
option.
When you are prompted for a new
I.D., key in any digit . . .
. . and
SCAN DOWN
until you reach
the space character. Press the
ENTER
key.
5 Setting Up Transducers
IMPORTANT
Do not begin setting up transducer parameters until you
have selected a test number and programmed the basic test
parameters using the
SETUP TEST
function. Otherwise you
will be editing transducer parameters from the previous test.
