6.7.22. Function 25 - Delete Log
This function deletes all data stored in the log. It is recommended that the log is deleted
immediately after the log has been printed via Function 24.
When the function is called, the system will ask if the log is to be deleted.
If for 'yes' is pressed, all data in the log will be deleted.
If for 'no' is pressed, the system will exit the function without deleting the data in memory.
6.7.23. Function 26 - Log Status
This function displays the number of used and free bytes in the log memory.
5,000 bytes are reserved in the memory for logging data and Function 26 enables the user to
see how much capacity is left in this memory.
As the log is being progressively filled, the figure under FREE will become lower and the figure
under USED will become higher.
If the log (memory) is full and data is still being logged, these last data will be lost.
6.7.24. Function 29 - Print parameters
This function prints the current parameters via the connected printer.
The print-out is for the current drive or all the current drives.
When the function is called, the system will ask: “PRINT ACTUAL DRIVE (Y/N):
For print-out of the current drive only, press .
For print-out of all connected drives, press .
The printing can now be started by pressing , or the function can be left by pressing .
In both parallel and serial mode, the system prints out all parameters for drive 0. When operating
in serial mode the size of tube for all drives is printed.
If parameters for all drives are printed, the last part of the print-out will be repeated for all
connected drives, but with the respective parameters.
6.7.25. Function 31 - Save program
It is possible to save up to 100 sets of parameters in the memory, i.e. one drive will have 100
programs available, and with two drives, each will have 50 programs available.
If a particular set of parameters is used frequently, it is a good idea to store the settings in order
to allow their easy retrieval as a complete filling program. This also ensures that exactly the
same parameters are used each time, reducing the risk of programming errors.
A stored program contains the following function parameters:
The individual drives: F1 - F2 - F3 - F4 - F5 - F9 - F18 - F19 – and the last calibration value.
It is important that all parameters are entered and that these parameters are checked before
saving the program saved via Function 31.
The system will always suggest the first available number in a range between 1 and 100.
