16.3 Setup Procedure
If you are not familiar with operating the instrument in the SETUP menu mode, see “SETUP Menu Mode”. A listing
of all menu items is given in the “Setup Menu Reference” in Chapter 18.
Step 1: Examine the System Calibration Sheet. The instrument’s System Calibration Sheet contains important
information about what each Mathematics Channel does and what Function Inputs and/or Limit Output pins of the
System connector are used.
Step 2: Wire to the pins on the System connector.
See “System Connector” in Section 5.1. It is important to read the System Calibration Sheet to determine the
wiring for your application.
Step 3: Verify operation.
16.4 Channel Menu
Each Mathematics Virtual Channel can have its configuration and SensoCode programming examined via its
channel menu. It is not possible to alter the SensoCode program with the SETUP menu. Detailed instructions on
operating the instrument in the SETUP menu mode can be found in “SETUP Menu mode”. A diagram of all menus
is located in “Setup Menu Reference” in Chapter 18.
16.4.1 SENSOCODE P/N Menu Item
This menu item displays the part number and revision level of the SensoCode program loaded in this Mathematics
Virtual Channel.
16.4.2 USER VALUES Menu Item
This sub-menu contains menu items for each of the User Values. User Values are constant numeric values that
can be edited by the user and read by a SensoCode program. The use of each User Value depends on the
SensoCode program loaded in the Mathematics Virtual Channel.
By default, the four items on this menu are USER VALUE 1, USER VALUE 2, USER VALUE 3 and USER VALUE
4. However, a SensoCode program can alter the menu item text for each of the User Values to make them more
relevant to the operator. For example, USER VALUE 1 might be re-titled JELLY BEAN COUNT.
16.4.3 VIEW SENSOCODE Menu Item
This menu item allows the display of each “step” (either an operand or an instruction) of the SensoCode program
presently loaded into a Mathematics Virtual Channel. Press [ENTER] will display the next step of the SensoCode
program until the entire program has been viewed.
SensoCode programs cannot be altered with the SETUP Mode menu; they can only be loaded via the serial port
with the Instrument Utility Software.
16.4.4 VIEW COMMANDS Sub-Menu
This sub-menu contains menu items for each of the Command Strings that can be used by a SensoCode program.
Command Strings are text constants that can be read by a SensoCode program. They cannot be changed with the
SETUP menu. The use of each Command String depends on the SensoCode program loaded in the Mathematics
Virtual Channel.
The items on this menu are COMMAND 0, COMMAND 1, COMMAND 2, COMMAND 3, COMMAND 4, COMMAND
5, COMMAND 6 and COMMAND 7.
16.4.5 DISPLAY SETUP Sub-Menu
This menu controls how data values are displayed by the channel and transmitted via serial communications.
DISPLAY.DIGITS Menu Item
Selects the number of digits displayed by the channel. The choices are:
• “5 DIGIT-BIPOLAR” displays both positive and negative numbers with five full digits (±99999).
