F8: Toggle Units – This button allows the user

between liters and gallons.

F9: Read file – This button reads in the totalization

data from the internal flash drive, the floppy disk

drive, a USB memory drive, or the CDROM and

sends them to the interface card to be stored in

non-volatile memory.

F10: Save To file – This button reads all totaliza-

tion data currently stored in non-volatile memory

on the interface card and stores it on the media

selected by the user (internal flash, floppy drive,

USB memory, or CDROM). The data is stored in

a file named

totals.par .

F11: Pot Reset – This button allows the user to

reset the volume counters for pressure pot track-

ing. This is typically done when the pots are filled.

F10: Trigger Log

With this feature, users can monitor and record

the trigger on and off times as well as the fluid

that flowed during those trigger on times for up

to 200 successive triggers. When this feature is

selected, the user will be prompted to select which

gun they wish to monitor. Recording of data will

not start until the Start Logging (F1) button is

pushed. Keep in mind that data will not appear in

the screen until the second on-trigger (on dwell)

event has occurred to allow the software the ability

to record the time of the first off-trigger (off dwell)

event. The job number that was running during

the trigger is also recorded. The status of three

flags are also recorded with each event. These

flags reflect the status of the three spare system

digital inputs. Note that volumes are rounded to

the nearest cc. The latest events are displayed

at the top of the screen and the older events are

pushed off of the bottom of the screen (but can be

accessed by using the Windows scroll bar). Values

can also be saved to writeable media by using

the F10 key but recording must first be stopped

to allow saving of this data. (Refer to "Appendix

M" for more details on how to use this feature.)

F11: Color Changer

An optional color change sequencer may have

been included with the controller. If it was in-

clud-ed, the F11 button will indicate as such on the

main screen. If the F11 key is blank, your system

does not have this option.

When this function is selected, the operator is first

prompted for the gun number they wish to view

or edit the sequence for, they are then prompted

for which Job Number they wish to view and/or

edit the sequences of, and last, they are asked if

they want to view/edit the sequence for flushing

or filling. (There is a separate flush sequence

and fill sequence stored for every Job Number

and for every gun.)
