1 Precautions
CAUTION:
- Never expose the D200S unit to water or moisture.
- Never use the D200S unit outside.
- Use the D200S unit at a temperature between 0 and 40°C.
- The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of damage
due to an inappropriate use of the D200S unit.
- Not to use aggressive products (Alcohol, trichloroethylene, etc.) to
clean the synthetic parts.
1.1 Important information
Minimum configuration Hardware
Pentium processor or equivalent.
(Pentium 600 MHz or higher is recommended).
A computer functioning under Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system.
Stability of the unit :
The D200S unit must be switch ON ~30 minutes before all measurements.

2 General description of D200S unit
The D200S acquisition unit is a unit being able to read up to 8 probes Sylvac P2, P5,
P10, P25, P50 with a maximum resolution of 0.1 µm and that in a dynamic mode.
Many integrated functions make it possible to solve the majority of the measurements
problems in workshop or laboratory. The parameters introduced into the software can
be saved into the D200S unit. Several units can be coupled in order to connect up to
24 probes.

3 Software D200S
3.1 Description of Software D200S
The Software D200S is used like an interface between the D200S unit and the user.
The use of the software makes it possible to read the values of the probes and
configure the unit for the autonomous mode. All the parameters are saved when
stopping the software.
It is possible to use unit D200S and software D200S in two different ways.
1. The software can be used to
D200S unit can only be used (without connection and software)
memorize the control parameters, then the
2. The software can be used on line with the D200S unit, which will make it
possible to follow measurements to the screen, as well as the bargraph of the
individual values.

in order to send on Excel (or other), that values
introduced for a sequence given.
It is possible to configure up to 8 sequences.

by the configuration of the sequences, by default
only the sequence I is activated and all the
