2.1.1 Modify the line parameters
Inside the "TEST LINE" mask, when the Remote Unit sent back the data (a
situation similar to the one described at points (2) or (3) of the previous chapter),
the operator can MODIFY THE PROGRAMMING PARAMETERS. In
detail:
MODIFY A SEQUENCE: press the SEQ key to select the displayed sequence
value, type on the numeric keypad A NEW VALUE FOR THE SEQUENCE you
want to give to this specific line and press ENTER. The Remote Unit containing
that line, will be called and the new value will be written in its memory. The new
sequence value displayed on the screen, CONFIRMS as the whole operation has
been correctly executed (the new value is first written, read back and displayed. In
case of failure the error message "NO RESPONSE" will be issued instead).
HOW TO CHANGE A NORMAL SEQUENCE TO A TIMED ONE
If it is needed to define a sequence as a " timed" one, proceed as follows:
Select first a line corresponding to the BEGINNING of the timed sequence to be
built and press ENTER. When the data will appear on the screen, press the SEQ
(F3) key and type the SEQUENCE number. If the sequence is not yet timed, press
"TIME" (F4) to time it (initially the time value will be 00:00:00,00). Type in the delay
time value this line must have inside the sequence (if it is the FIRST SHOT of the
sequence, then the time value will be left to ZERO). In order to time other lines
and to give the respective delay values inside the sequence, proceed as follows.
HOW TO CREATE A TIMED SEQUENCE WITH SEVERAL LINES:
remain with the index pointing SEQUENCE and use F11 and F7 keys to
INCREASE or DECREASE by one the LINE NUMBER. Modify now both the
SEQUENCE NUMBER (all lines of the same timed sequence must have the
SAME SEQUENCE NUMBER), and the TIME value. Should the time intervals
between the sequence shots not equally spaced, TIME must be selected and the
proper time value must be typed for each line inside the sequence.
Note as it is NOT NECESSARY to type ALL the zeroes of the time value, but just
the significant figures. E.g.: if the screen displays a time value of 00:00:00,00 and a
new value of 1,5 seconds must be entered, IT WILL BE NOT NECESSARY to
type 00:00:01,50, BUT JUST 1.5 or 1.50 or again 150.
If otherwise the time intervals between the shots of the same sequence are
EVENLY SPACED, then the job can be greatly simplified using the "TIME
INCREMENT" (F5) function. Lets just suppose to create the timed sequence N°1
including 10 lines starting at 1 and equally spaced by 1 second. Then proceed as
follows:
- "call" the first line of the sequence (1 in this example)
- give this line the needed SEQUENCE VALUE (1).
- If not otherwise timed, use F4 key to assign the time value (00:00:00,00)
- press F5 "TIME INCREMENT": on the middle of the LCD screen
the mask below will appear. Type now the VALUE FOR THE
CONSTANT TIME INCREMENT spacing the shots of the sequence
(1.00 or 100 meaning ONE second) and press ENTER to confirm.
