6. Local Operation

6.1 General

This section describes the procedures for operating the CPC8000 from the front panel. Instructions for 

operating the instrument from an external computer are covered in

 Section 8, Remote Operation

. By 

following the procedures provided in these two Sections and in 

Section 7, Setup

, you can expect your 

CPC8000 to deliver maximum accuracy and dependability for many years of exceptional service.

When the instrument is powered on it will take about 30 seconds to boot up. At the end of the boot 

process the display screen similar to fgure 6.1 will appear. This is the main operating screen. At this point 

the CPC8000 is ready for operation. However, for critical tests and measurements allow the unit to warm 

up for at least 15 minutes with power on to ensure rated accuracy.

Notice that the portion of the screen with a blue feld covers about two-thirds of the total screen area. This 

area contains the pressure output reading, the setpoint, the active transducer range, units of measure, 

limits and a choice between the control modes: Measure, Control or Vent.

The sidebar to the right (black feld) is used for entering data, adjusting environmental settings, defning 

parameters for remote operations, and making choices in the confguration. Several diferent sidebars 

can be accessed from the main screen to achieve diferent objectives.

This section of the manual will explain features of this main operating screen and the associated 

sidebars.

Beyond the main screen are a series of setup screens used to adjust parameters and conditions, such as 

performing calibrations, running programmed routines, operating from a remote computer, etc. All such 

setup screens are on black backgrounds, and have their own sidebars (also black) for choice menus and 

data entry. Explanations and instructions for using these setup screens are covered in
