3. Customize and Name

Andy customized the Main Page so he could

tell the status of the digital outputs by glanc-

ing at the controller's Lower Display (Setup

Page > Custom Main Page Menu).

He also named one of the Alarms "TEMP

DEV", which will make it easy to identify the

alarm condition (Setup Page > Alarm Output

1 Menu). Three digital inputs, two alarms

and eight digital outputs can be given 10-

character names.

See the Setup Chapter.

4. Program the Profile

Andy programmed the test as a ramping pro-

file of 21 steps. To make sure the equipment

is at the ambient chamber temperature, he

put a Wait condition on Step 2. Step 20 is a

Jump step that puts the equipment through

the same heat and humidity cycle 21 times.

See the Profile Programming Chapter.

✔ NOTE:
The profile in this sample application is embedded
in the Series F4 software for use as a teaching tool
or a template. It is the first profile, MILSTD810D,
located in the Profiles Page > Edit Profile Menu.
You can change or delete this profile and later
recall it through factory defaults. If you have a
single-channel controller, you will see only the tem-
perature on Channel 1. This is not the true
Military Standard Test 810D.

2. Set up the F4

After checking the navigation instructions

in the user manual, Andy went to the

Setup Page of the software to configure the

controller for the equipment and the ramp-

ing profiles. He named the alarm to make

it easier to identify an alarm condition. The

alarm message will appear on the Lower

Display, which also informs about the

progress of the test.
