PM PID Controller • 107 • Appendix
Navigating from one menu to the next is easy and clearly visible. Simply slide the scroll bar up or down to dis-
play the menu and parameter of choice. If there is a need to bring greater focus and clarity to the parameters
of interest simply click on the negative symbol next to any of the Menu items. As an example if it is desired
to work within the Operations page click the negative sign next to Setup where the Setup Page will then col-
lapse. Now click the plus sign next to Operations to find the menu items of choice without viewing unwanted
menus and parameters. Once the focus is brought to an individual parameter (single click of mouse) as is the
case for Analog Input 1 in the left column; all that can be setup related to that parameter will appear in the
center column. The grayed out fields in the center column simply mean that this does not apply for the type
of sensor selected. As an example, notice that when a thermocouple is selected, RTD Leads does not apply
and is therefore grayed out. To speed up the process of configuration notice that at the bottom of the center
column there is an option to copy settings. If Analog Input 1 and 2 are the same type of sensor click on "Copy
Settings" where a copy dialog box will appear allowing for quick duplication of all settings. Notice too, that by
clicking on any of those items in the center column that context sensitive help will appear for that particular
item in the right hand column
Lastly, when the configuration is complete click the "Finish" button at the bottom right of the previous
screen shot. The screen that follows this action can be seen below.
Although the PM control now contains the configuration (because the previous discussion focused on doing
the configuration on-line) it is suggested that after the configuration process is completed that the user save
this file on the PC for future use. If for some reason someone inadvertently changed a setting without un-
derstanding the impact, it would be easy and perhaps faster to download a saved configuration back to the
control versus trying to figure out what
was changed. Of course, there is an option
to exit without saving a copy to the local
hard drive. After selecting Save above,
click the "Finish" button once again. The
screen below will than appear. When sav-
ing the configuration, note the location
where the file will be placed (saved in)
and enter the file name (File name) as
well. The default path for saved files fol-
lows: Users\"Username"\My Documents\
Watlow\EZ-Zone Configurator\Saved
Configurations
The user can save the file to any folder of
choice.
