NGA 2000
1 - 1
This software manual describes step by step how to operate successfully with the ½ 19"
and 19" MLT analyzer module and analyzer of the NGA 2000 Series.
Chapter two shows the structure of the MLT software menus. Chapter three describes the
display and the keyboard of the analyzer. Chapter four describes the basic controls with
detailed illustrations. So you can easily compare the actual display of the analyzer module
with the illustrations of the manual.
Chapter five describes the expert configurations of the analyzer module and of the Input/
Output Modules (I/O modules). Chapter six describes the system configuration. The layout
of both chapters is not as detailed as in chapter four. Normally, the way to a certain menu
of the MLT software is described with the software catchwords you have to press to reach
this menu. You will find the illustration of the corresponding LCD screen at the end of the
catchword listing. After that you can read the meaning of the functions and variables of
each expert or system configuration menu.
Some contents of the expert configurations are not important for each customer. It depends
on the configuration of your NGA 2000 system, relative to the following components:
♦ Control Module CM
♦ Analyzer Module AM
♦ Input/Output Modules I/O's (SIO = Standard I/O, DIO = Digital I/O,
System Auto Calibration I/O, Analog Output with 3 Alarms I/O,
Auto Calibration I/O)
You can distinguish the following system units and SIO/DIO configurations:
System Unit SIO/DIO-Configuration
Section
Page
MLT analyzer module (AM):
• without front panel,
i.e. without control unit
• can be combined with a platform,
an MLT analyzer, a TFID analyzer
or a customer developed control
unit
⇒ 1 local SIO and 1 local DIO can be
installed in the MLT analyzer
module
⇒ SIO and DIO can be configured
for the channels of the analyzer
module only
∗ 5.1.18
p. 5-67
Platform (CM Software):
• Control unit with front panel
• Without measurement channels
⇒ 1 SIO and up to 4 DIO's can be
installed in the platform (CM I/O)
⇒ SIO and DIO can be configured
for all channels combined with the
platform
∗ 5.2
p. 5-83
MLT analyzer (CM and MLT AM
software):
• Analyzer with front panel
• CM and AM software in the same
analyzer,
i.e. all functions of the control unit
and of the AM are combined in one
controller board
⇒ 1 SIO and 1 DIO can be installed
in the MLT analyzer (CM I/O)
⇒ SIO and DIO can be configured
for all channels combined with the
MLT analyzer
