Changing Displayed Parameters in an Existing Screen
For the ION 7500, ION 7600, ION 8000 Series, and ION 7300 Series meters, you can
change displayed parameters in existing screens using Designer software.
N OTE
For the ION 7300 Series meter, you must set the Display Options module’s Display Mode setup register
to P ROGRAMMABLE before changing displayed parameters in an existing screen.
To change parameters shown in a display screen, link the output register
containing the numeric data you want to display to the Source inputs of the Display
module. If there is not a free Source input, you will have to first delete (i.e.,
“unlink”) an existing link to a Source input.
Changing Displayed Parameters using the Meter’s Front
Panel
(ION 7300 Series)
With the ION 7300 Series meters, you can change the displayed parameters in an
existing screen using the meter’s front panel.
Before changing displayed parameters in an existing screen:
For customized screens to display on the front panel, you must set the Display
Options module’s Display Mode setup register to P
ROGRAMMABLE before changing
displayed parameters in an existing screen.
On the meter’s front panel, go to D ISPLAY S ETUP > D ISPLAY M ODE and select
P ROGRAMMABLE .
Changing displayed parameters in an existing screen:
The S CREEN S ETUP menu screen allows you to change the data displayed on the
eight display screens.
1. From the S ELECT S ETUP menu, select S CREEN S ETUP . The list of display titles
appears that correspond to each of the eight display screens. The screen
number with an asterix (*) beside it indicates the active display (the screen
displayed before you entered S
ELECT S ETUP ).
2. Select the screen you want to change, and press the round button. Two settings
appear, V
ALUES and S TYLE , that allow you to specify which measurements to
display.
3. Select S TYLE if you need to change the number of displayed parameters in the
selected screen.
This setting has five options for each display screen: O NE P ARAMETER , T WO
P ARAMETER , T HREE P ARAMETER , F OUR P ARAMETER , and D ISABLED . Select the
number of values you want to display (the fewer the values you select for
display, the larger the measurement will appear on the display screen).
If you select a large style (for example, one value) for a display screen that is set
to display more than one value, the front panel will warn you with a message,
and will display only the first value — the links to the undisplayable values are
severed and will have to be reprogrammed.
