MENU
DESCRIPTION
Datalog View
Displays the data logs that were configured via the Setup>Data Logging menu. From this list
a log can be selected and filters applied to view the desired data. (For details on setting up and
running the Data Logger, see Section 2.5.1).
Alerts Log
Displays a history of alerts that are triggered by factory-defined and user-defined Events, such
as warnings and alarms (See Section 2.5.2 for Events configuration).
USB Utilities
Serves multiple purposes using a flash drive connected to the instrument’s front panel USB
port:
•
download data from the instrument’s Data Acquisition System (DAS), the Data Logger, to
a flash drive (Section 2.5.1.3)
•
update firmware (Section 5.3)
•
transfer instrument configuration from/to other same-model instruments (Section 2.6)
•
download a basic operation functionality report (Section 5.3).
Diagnostics
Provides access to various pages that facilitate troubleshooting.
Analog Inputs
Measure voltage signals of several analog input parameters, including
those from other instrumentation when the External Analog Inputs Option
(Section 2.3.1.2) is installed. These can be logged in the internal data
acquisition system (DAS), by configuring the Data Logger in the
Setup>Data Logging menu (Section 2.5.1).
Analog Outputs
Show the voltage signals for the functions selected and configured in the
Setup>Analog Outputs menu (Section 2.5.8). Rear panel connections
were presented in Section 2.3.1.2.
Digital Inputs
Show whether specific available features are turned ON or OFF; for
example, whether or not Maintenance Mode input or Language selection
can be controlled through the front panel, or whether a zero or span
calibration can be activated remotely when an external source is
connected to the rear panel Control In connector (Section 2.3.1.5).
Digital Outputs
Show the function of user-specified parameters configured in the
Setup>Digital Outputs menu (Section 2.5.7).
Manual AREF
At 20 minutes after power up and periodically thereafter when in Sample
mode, the analyzer conducts a background measurement, known as an
auto reference (AREF), whereby the sample is routed through an internal
charcoal scrubber. This measurement accounts for drift in the baseline
loss. A manual AREF is recommended prior to initial calibration (Section
4.2) or after general maintenance.
Please note that AREF becomes disabled during calibration if the
instrument stays in calibration mode (CALZ or CALS) for longer than it
would normally take to run a calibration. To ensure that AREF is enabled,
return to Sample mode after conducting a calibration.

ETUP
The Setup menu is used to configure the instrument’s various features, functions, and data
log. Section 2.5 provides details for the menus under Setup.
