Manual-10

Device > Name Device

Name Device

allows you to name each RPM 26i and their

channels. The device and channel names are stored in the
unit. Type the unique name you want for each RPM 26i in the

Device Name

field, then press the

Tab

key to move the focus

to the next field. Type the names you want for each channel
in the remaining fields, then click

Device > Restore Names from File

This selection allows you to restore the Device, Input and

Output names from saved Memory backup files without
changing any of the device’s current settings.

Device > Print Device Report

Selecting this item prints the current device settings from

the current or working Memory. The control settings are
printed in a tabular format so you know precisely where each
control is set. Also printed is the Project, Site, and System
Engineer information you entered in the Edit Installation Info
dialog box, plus four blank lines for handwritten comments
and the report date.

Each of the RPM 26i parameters are printed including the

DSP Program with its description, the device address, device
name, the Memory number and Memory name. The device
report for each RPM 26i Memory is 7 pages, one for the Input
parameters and one page for each Output which includes each
Output’s overall response curve. See the Overall Response
Curve section on page Manual-20.

Device > Print Device Report from File

This menu item prints device settings from a stored file

instead of a connected unit. This allows you to setup a system,
save the system’s settings to a file and print them at your
office; saving you the hassle of dragging your printer to each
site just to print out device settings (though this may impress
your client).

Once you select the file with backed-up Memories to print,

the above window appears.

You can select one or more Memories to print. To select a

single Memory to print, click on your choice then click

As with many Windows selection boxes, to select a contigu-
ous range of Memories, click on the first Memory choice, then
hold down the

Shift

key and click on the last Memory choice

of the range. This is a handy way to print Memories 1 through
5 for example, or even all 16 Memories. To select a random
group of Memories to print, click on the first choice, hold
down the

Ctrl

key and click on any subsequent Memory

choices. Repeat this process until all the Memories you want
to print are selected, then click

Device > Device Status

Device Identifier

is a unique number assigned to each unit by

the factory. It’s more for our information than yours.

Hardware Rev

is the current revision number of the unit’s

hardware.

Firmware Rev

is the current revision number of the unit’s

firmware. This is the software that is installed in each unit
and controls the actions of the internal microprocessor.

Total Running Time

is the total amount of time that the unit

has been operating (powered).

Data Timeouts

is the number of times RaneWare failed to

communicate with the selected unit since software launch.
This number should always be zero but could increase if
the communications cabling becomes intermittent or open.

Note:

Be sure you have the above Device Status informa-

tion as well as the version number of RaneWare you are using
(found under

Help|About...

) when calling the factory for
