WARNING:
NO RIGHTS ARE TO BE CLAIMED ON THE QUALITY OF THIS SOFTWARE.
YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS SOFTWARE AS IT IS.
THIS SOFTWARE WILL RUN ON WINDOWS VERSION 3.1 AND HIGHER.
For software programmers there are programming instructions at the and
of this manual. Also technical information is given on how to communicate
with the RS-232 interface.
Connection
Connect the 9 pin RS232 communication cable to a free communication port from our
computer. The 3.5 mm connector should be connected to the connector on the D natek
6080RS multimeter.
Installing the software
•Put the 3.5 inch disk into our drive A: or B:
•Start from Windows with <File> <Start> A:SETUP (of B:SETUP).
•The installation program asks for the director name (Default = C:\RS6080).
•You ma change this for our own convenience. A program file and program with
the name DYNATEK will be created.
•No restart from Windows is required after installing the software.
•Double-click on the DYNATEK-icon to start the program.
Starting the communication
1. Switch on the preferred communication-port into the left middle of the screen, with

the mouse pointer. If there is no communication-port available an error message
will appear. Please check our connection or tr another port.
2. Switch on the multimeter from the OFF position while pressing the REC and
COMP button at the same time.
3. Switch on the software b clicking the START button from the communication
field. (Left top-corner)
Below the time and date indication the digital-readings will start with the range indication
(e.g. mV or Hz).
Other possibilities
S/Time
You can adjust sampling-time. If this indication is on 0 there are
4 readings/sec. You ma change this setting to e.g. 1 or 3 sec.
In this case data will be refreshed ever 1 or 3 seconds.
File Management
SAVE
It is possible to SAVE our measurement output. B clicking on the SAVE button ou have
to give in the filename (according to DOS a maximum of 8 characters is allowed).
Furthermore there are two check-boxes to activate the recording of TIME and UNITS
(=range). In this case also Time and Range (=mV or V) will be recorded. Click on OK. The
Start button will change to red.
WARNING:
A maxim m of 200 readings will be recorded. So switch on the right S/Time for maxim m
meas ring time. Yo will be warned by a beep from yo r b ilt in lo dspeaker when this
amo nt of readings has been reached. P sh the SAVE b tton again to stop recording. If
yo have recorded e.g. 20 readings in the first period and later restart recording with the
same filename, the new readings will be added at the and of the existing file. In this is way
yo can record a meas rement with different intervals over a longer period of time. Yo
are able to print o t these readings afterwards. (See LOAD below)
LOAD
The files ou saved can be recalled bij pressing the LOAD button. You are asked for the
filename. Enter our filename and click the OK-button. All readings (with a maximum of
200) will appear on the screen. With the PRINT button ou are able to make a hardcop .
Printer
RdgData Off
All measured data can be printed immediatel . The printed data is also directl related to
the S/Time. Press RdgData Off and this button will change to red with the indication
RdgData On. B pressing this button again the printing will stop. The value and time will
alwa s be printed. Indication of the range will not be added.
ATTENTION:
In a network sit ation, the printing will mostly start after finishing the total printing job.

Screen
With this button a hardcop from the actual screen will be made. This also includes,
graphical information.
REC
With this button ou activate three extra windows with the values: MAX; MIN en AVG.
You are able to measure over a total period of time the MAX (=Maximum) value; the MIN
(=Minimum) and the AVG (=Average) values will be displa ed.
CMP
With the edit button ou can adjust the HI-limit and LO-limit. In the last window the
Judgement in relation to the HI or LO value is displa ed: HI when the upper limit is
exceeded and LO when the lower-limit is exceeded.
REL
After clicking on the Edit button ou are asked for a Reference value. The ERROR field
now displa s the difference in relation with this reference. The value can be positive or
negative.
Gra h screen
Setu
You can change the X- and Y-axes of the graphical screen. The Y-ax changes the range
and the X-ax changes the readings. You can change to 280; 350; 700 and 1400 readings.
The total result also depends on the S/Time as mentioned before. Switch on the graphical
screen b pressing the ON button. The button will change to red. If the screen is
completel filled it will switch off automaticall and the OFF button changes to red. The
screen will be cleared with the CLEAR button. Just start it from the beginning with ON.
Leave the program b clicking the left upper button from the screen. You are asked to
save the Default values. Just click on Yes if ou prefer this. The next time ou start the
program all previous settings will be regained.
