2.1 Powering Up the Instrument
When power is first applied to the instrument, its processor carries out a number of self-tests and displays the start-up screen.
At the end of the start up sequence the instrument displays the last Operator View that was displayed when the instrument was
powered down.
2.2 Displays and Controls – Figs. 2.1 and 2.2
In normal day-to-day use, the instrument is operated via the Operator Keys located along the bottom of the screen.

…2.3 Chart Views
Notes.
1. Current Values
The Current Value, shown on the digital indicators at either the top (vertical chart view) or right hand side (horizontal chart
view) of the screen, is the latest instantaneous value and its update rate is not affected by the recording sample rate.
If the current value in the digital indicator is displayed in red, recording has been stopped for that channel – see Sections 3.4
and 4.5.1.
Traces are shown only when that particular channel is being recorded. When a channel is set to Stop, its trace continues
to be shown for up to one sample period.
2. Alarm Status
•Flashing red border around channel indicator alternating with flashing red alarm event icon – alarm active and
unacknowledged
•Continuous red alarm event icon – alarm active and acknowledged
If any alarm in any process group is active, the Global Alarm status icon ( ) is displayed in the status bar – see
Fig. 2.3. If any active alarm in any process group is unacknowledged, the icon is surrounded by a red flashing border.
3. Alarm Event and Operator Message Annotations
Alarm Event and Operator Message annotations are not shown on the chart unless enabled – see 'Chart Annotation' on
page 9 and Section 4.5.2.
If Alarm event annotation is enabled and an alarm becomes active, a red alarm event icon surrounded by a channel-
colored box is displayed at the point at which the alarm occured, together with the alarm time and tag, e.g.
11:58:00 1.1A High Level
If more than one alarm occurs in the same sample period:
•and the second alarm on a channel becomes active, its icon is added behind the first.
•and more than one operator message is active (max. six), a second icon is added behind the first.
•the new alarm event icons appear to the left of earlier icons.
•the time and tag of the oldest alarm (right-most icon) only is displayed.

Notes.
While in Historical Review mode:
•Recording of new data continues unless stopped from the Setup Menu – see
Section 3.4.
•Invalid historical data (e.g. when recording has stopped) is denoted by '– – –' in the
digital indicator.
•Where the trace at the cursor position represents more than one sample, the indicators
flash between the maximum and minimum values of those samples.
•Menu options remain active – allowing the screen interval to be changed, different scales
and channels to be selected, etc.
•Operator messages generated are added to the alarm event log at the present time, not
the time indicated by the cursor.
•All data stored in the instrument's internal memory can be viewed.
•The display can be scrolled back to the start of the oldest data.
•Archiving to removable media does not occur but all data recorded in the internal
memory buffer during this time is archived on exiting Historical Review mode.
Select 'Goto' to move to data stored in the instrument's onboard memory that was
recorded at a specific date and time.
Notes.
•Once internal memory becomes full, oldest data is overwritten by newest data. If
historical review has been selected for some time, the oldest data present may no longer
be available.
•The instrument exits Historical Review mode automatically after 15 minutes if no key is
pressed.
Select Exit to return to the real-time recording display.
Note. Pressing the or key also exits Historical Review mode and displays the next

Add one of 24 predefined Operator Messages (see Section 4.4.4) or one User-Defined
Message to the alarm event log. If '<user defined>' is selected, a data entry keyboard
appears to enable the message to be entered – see Fig. 4.5, page 43. The selected or
user-defined message is displayed briefly in the status bar. If Operator Message annotation
is selected (see Chart Annotation below) the message is also added to the chart.
Note. When the instrument is in Historical Review mode, Operator Messages generated
are added at the current time, not the time indicated by the cursor.
If an alarm or operator message is obscuring part of a chart trace, use the Chart
Annotation option to hide or display alarms and messages on the screen.
Select the annotation required. ✓indicates the annotations selected.
The possible combinations are:
–No annotation (Alarms and Operator Messages both disabled)
–Alarm annotation only
–Alarms and Operator Message annotation
Operator Message annotation cannot be enabled unless Alarm annotation is also enabled.
Notes.
•If more than 40 icons are present on the screen, chart annotation is disabled
automatically.
•When chart annotation is disabled, new operator messages and alarms are still added
to the Alarm Event log – see Section 2.8.
Note. Applicable only to Circular Chart view in Historical Review mode and is greyed-out
in the menu until 'Historical review' is selected.
Use 'Chart Duration' to change the amount of data displayed on the screen in historical
review mode. A longer chart duration displays more data, a shorter chart duration displays
data over a shorter time period, but in more detail. In both cases, the full trace is preserved
by plotting the maximum and minimum samples for each display point.
Unavailable chart durations are greyed-out.
The chart durations available in the menu are determined by the faster of the primary and
secondary sample rates set for the process group during configuration – see Section
4.5.1. Unavailable chart durations are greyed-out.
Table 2.1 on page 10 shows the relationship between sample rate and chart duration for
the Circular Chart view.
Notes.
•A'Please Wait' message appears in the status bar while the instrument retrieves data
from storage.
•Selecting a different chart duration does not affect the rate at which data is sampled.
•Changing the chart duration causes the time at the cursor position to change.
•If the chart duration is changed when in historical review mode, it reverts to that set
during configuration (see Section 4.5.1) upon exiting historical review mode.
