3. Change communication status with external Brookfield temperature controller. An "off"
indication means that there is no communication with a controller. Selecting this option will
make the DV-III+ try to establish communication. When communication is established, "off"
will be change to "on". Temperature control will always be set to "off" when the DV-III+ is turned
on.
When communication is established, Line 1 of the default screen will be modified. The
temperature field will show "CTLR" in place of "TEMP".
Communication may only be established with Brookfield controllers:
Thermosel Controllers: HT-106, HT-104
Bath Controllers: HT-107, HT-105
The change is selected by pressing the 3 key. Subsequent key presses required will be indicated
on the display.
4. Change the temperature display by offsetting the measured temperature to agree with an external
temperature measurement device. The adjustment will be indicated by flashing temperature
units (F or C) on the default screen (Figure 7). The adjustment will be reset to 0.0 when the DV-
III+ is turned on.
The adjustment is entered using the number keys. The sign (+ or -) is selected using the OPTION/
TAB key. The change must be confirmed by pressing the ENTER key.
V.2 Print
1. Change the time interval that is used when the DV-III+ is printing continuously. Data is entered
in the format of MM:SS. For example: an interval of one minute and 30 seconds is entered as:
01:30.
The change is initiated by pressing the 1 key. Once the time interval is input, it must be accepted
by pressing the
ENTER key.
2. Change the port to be used for printing, parallel or serial.
The change is selected by first pressing the 2 key and then the appropriate key for the printing
method. The change will be indicated by the position of the arrow on the right side of the display.
The change is accepted by pressing the
ENTER key.
When selecting serial printing, the DV-III+ will also ask for handshaking status. Please see the
instruction manual of the printer for specification.
If the DV-III+ is communicating with an external temperature controller, serial printing will not
be available(the controller uses the serial port).
3. Enter the date and time to be shown on printed data tables. Data is entered in the format of DD/
MM/YY for date and HH:MM for time (24-hour clock). For example: 2:30 pm on January 15,
1999 is entered as 15/01/99, 14:30.
The change is initiated by pressing the 3 key. Once the data is input, it must be accepted by
pressing the
ENTER key.
