Numeric setup

These settings are used to set up the PI54 parameters related to

the Numeric display.

The Numeric display shows the data from the sensors in their

rectangular alphanumerical presentations. The digits in the

alphanumerical presentations are black when the data are valid,

they are grey when the values are only predicted, or they are

replaced with asterix characters (*) when the contact with the

sensor is lost. The yellow pulse lamp is lit to indicate every time

information in received back from the sensor. The positioning of

the alphanumerical presentations is controlled by the order of

which the sensors were configured in the Sensor setup

dialogue.

To access the parameters, press the ADJ (Adjust) or ENT

button when you have the numeric presentations in an active

window.

Show graphic alarm: The graphic alarm is the small red

triangle in each sensor presentation. If the triangle is lit, it

indicates an alarm situation. If the triangle points upwards a

“minimum” alarm has been triggerd, if it points downwards, a

“maximum” alarms has been triggerd. The default setting for

this parameter is ALWAYS.

Sensor timer: The Catch and Bottom Contact sensors have a

timer feature indicating how many times each sensor has been

activated during a tow. The timer runs when the sensor is

activated, and stops once the sensor is released. This parameter

allows you to enable or disable these timers. The default setting

is ON. You can also access this parameter in the Graphic setup.

Reset sensor timers: The Catch and Bottom Contact sensors

have a timer feature indicating how many times each sensor has

been activated during a tow. To reset the timers to 0 prior to a

new tow, select YES. Default setting is NO. You can also access

this parameter in the Graphic setup.
