Red Lion GEMINI 42 - Manual (Page 5)

PROGRAMMING THE GEMINI
When your Gemini arrives from the factory, it has already been programmed
to function as a counter and rate indicator. It is programmed with the factory
settings listed in the “Initial Factory Configuration” section. If it is required to
have the unit operate as two counters, the Unit Personality function code can be
changed to do so.
The personality, functions, and modes are accessed by pressing the appropriate
keys. A function is defined by a two-digit code which appears on the left side of the
display. The mode of that function is shown as a one-digit code on the right side of
the display. At times there will be a “-” sign modifier to the left of the mode.
Data for the Presets, Scale Factors, Timed Output Values, and Counter Load
Values are entered differently. Each digit key controls the digit on the display
directly above it. Changing the digits can be done by repeatedly pressing the key
beneath the digit position you wish to change or by holding the key down. As you
hold it down, or repetitively press it, the value of that digit will change cyclically,
counting up to 9, then to 0, and then up again. The 6 numbered keys correspond to
the six digits, and the “+/-” key corresponds to polarity.
PROGRAMMING THE PERSONALITY
Entering function and mode is easily accomplished by
pressing the appropriate digit key. For the personality function,
you would enter 41 by pressing the front panel keys 4 and 1.
The digits on the left side of the display show the function
code; the digits on the right side show the current
programmed mode.
A mode selection is made by entering a new number. On
some of the entries, you have the option of a plus “+” or minus
“-” sign. In the cases where a “+” sign is required, no sign will
be displayed. If you do enter a “-” sign (using the “+/-” key), a
minus sign will be displayed in front of the appropriate digit.
Pressing the “E” key finalizes the change. The display
will now show the count or rate value immediately.
If you do not press the “E” key, the change will not be
recorded. The display will remain in the programming mode
for 15 seconds, and then return to normal operating mode
using the old functional mode setting.
Whenever the Unit Personality is changed, the factory settings will
automatically be loaded into the unit. The factory settings can also be
programmed into the unit by calling up the Unit Personality, putting a “-” in front
of the mode by pushing the “+/-” button, and entering it.
Refer to the “Initial Factory Configuration” section for more details.
PROGRAMMING THE PRESET, SCALE FACTORS, TIMED
OUTPUTS & COUNTER LOAD VALUES
The Presets and Scale Factor Values are commonly reprogrammed on a daily
basis. As such, single keystroke access has been provided.
The Gemini has two Scale Factors, one for display A
(Counter A or Rate A), and one for display B (Counter B).
Pressing the “3” key will call up the Scale Factor for the
current display (Rate A/Counter A, or Counter B).
To call up the “other” Scale Factor, the “+/-” key is first pushed to change the
display to the “other” value, then the “3” key is pushed to display the Scale Factor
for that value.
