speeds are set in the Chart/Pens menu.

• Scale set - An input switch can be used to change scale sets. The scales are programmed in the
Chart/Pens - Scales menu.

Programming Switches In - Use the UP (↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to highlight “Switches in” and press

Selecting and Programming Switch 1 - Use the UP (↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to highlight “Switch? 1”
and press ENTER. The display will show one of the items in the Switch 1 menu as shown below:
5.9.2.1 Event
The external inputs can be used to trigger an event or reset a resettable point type. The user can
program event messages for switch open (inactive) and switch closed (active). The event messages are
printed on the alarm screen and if enabled, are recorded to disk. Refer to Section 5.9.3 for event message
entry. Use the UP (↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to select the desired input switch function and press
ENTER. The display will return to the “Switch? 1” display.
5.9.2.2 Chart Speed
The external inputs can be used to alter the speed of the chart screen. There are two speed settings, high
and low. If the switch is open (inactive) the low speed setting is selected, if the switch is closed (active) the
high speed setting is active. This works in conjunction with the selection in the FUNCtion menu. Use the
UP (↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to select the desired input switch function and press ENTER. The display
will return to the “Switch? 1” display.
5.9.2.3 Record on/off
The external inputs can be used to stop or start recording. If the switch is open (inactive) the recording is
stopped, if the switch is closed (active) the recording is started. This works in conjunction with the RECord
menu start or stop recording function. The last operation is current - that is if an external event started the
recording then the user used the menu to stop recording, the recording remains stopped until the external
event is reasserted (in this case inactive then active again to restart). Use the UP (↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow
Keys to select the desired input switch function and press ENTER. The display will return to the “Switch?
1” display.
