6 .3 .1 Preparation steps
· Choose "File" ➡ "New Record File" to create a new record file or use the button in the tool bar
accordingly.
This generates a new empty record file at the top of the "Device" entry of the tree view. Now the
software is ready to record data.
· Click on the "+" of the newly generated recording file to expand its sub-entries.
NOTE
· Prior to every recording task check all entries under "Notes", i.e. set a unique identifier into the
"Run" text field.
· To set default entries for the system and device setup, refer to section 6.1.6.
· Different system default settings can be stored for every Windows user at the same PC.
· Charts can be activated or deactivated while a recording is running
6 .3 .2 How to start a recording process
There are two different approaches, how to start a recording.
· With "Auto-Recording" enabled the recording starts by pressing the "START"-button at the
vacuum controller. Press the "STOP"-button at the vacuum controller to also stop the recording.
· With "Auto-Recording" disabled the software recording button must be pressed before the
"START"-button at the vacuum controller to ensure a complete recording.
NOTE
Actual recording values are displayed in the main view. With "Auto-Recording" disabled, the back-
ground of the main view changes from gray to white when the vacuum controller has been started.
6 .3 .3 Real time view while recording
The software displays all necessary determination values in real time while recording. The user can
easily supervise the process.
NOTE
· The software is limited to one recording at a time.
· Restarting the vacuum controller gives an error message during an active record. The recorded
data will not be lost after interruption.
6 .3 .4 How to save recordings
At the end of the distillation process, stop the recording.
· In Auto recording mode, press the "STOP" button at the vacuum controller.
· In Manual recording mode, press the "Stop Recording" button at the software tool bar.
Now, use the “Save Record File As…” or the "Save Record File" button at the software tool bar to
save the recording data.
A standard Windows dialog will open to determine the storage folder of the data file.
NOTE
Choose an appropriate name for your recorded process.
