3.4.1 USING THE HAND HELD CONFIGURER
The Hand Held Configurer (HHC) is a portable terminal designed to interface with the instrument
through the configuration port that is located behind the pull-down door on the front panel of the in-
strument (see Figure 1-2).
The HHC is available in two versions:
1. A Standard HHC with capabilities to display or alter specifically addressed parameters
in the instrument database. The part number to order this HHC is 698B182U01.
2. An HHC with memory function capabilities to save the entire database of an instrument
onto a removable storage cartridge or load an instrument database from the HHC stor-
age cartridge. The part number to order this HHC is 698B182U02.
3.4.1.1 HAND HELD CONFIGURER SET UP
The Hand Held Configurer is shipped pre-configured to operate with the instrument. If the HHC
does not operate correctly, check the configuration by entering set up mode. To enter HHC set up
mode, press CONTROL, SHIFT, and F1 simultaneously. The correct configuration is shown below.
Option Selection Option Selection Option Selection
Baud 9600 Display PE Enabled Handshake Disabled
Data Bits* 7 Repeat Fast Self Test Disabled
Parity** Space Echo Disabled
*Not applicable for U02 version.
**Parity = None for U02 version.
If the configuration is not correct, it can be altered while in set up mode. When set up mode is en-
tered, the current baud rate setting is displayed on the top line; the following choices are also dis-
played:
Key Selection
F1 Change Parameter
F2 Next
F3 Previous
F4 Quit
F5 Save
If the baud rate setting is incorrect, it can be changed by pressing F1. Each time the F1 key is
pressed, an optional setting for the parameter is displayed on the top line. When the desired set-
ting appears, press F2 to select it and see the current setting for the next parameter (or press F3
to select it and see the current setting for the previous parameter). If the setting is not correct, use
F1 to cycle through available settings. All parameters can be checked and changed in this way.
Pressing F4 (Quit) exits set up mode and any changes made will stay in effect until the HHC is dis-
connected.
Use F5 to save changes to the instrument’s memory; the Hand Held Configurer can then be discon-
nected and the changes to the instrument will remain in effect.
