Section 5.0. Programming the Analyzer - Basics
5.1 General
Typical programming steps include the following listed procedures. Each of these programming
functions are easily and quickly accomplished using the intuitive menu systems.
• Configure and assign values to the current outputs
• Set a security code for two levels of security access
• Accessing menu functions using a security code
• Enabling and disabling Hold mode for current outputs
• Choosing the frequency of the AC power (needed for optimum noise rejection)
• Resetting all factory defaults, calibration data only, or current output settings only
5.2 Configuring and Ranging the Current Outputs
The T56 accepts inputs from two sensors
and has four analog current outputs. Ranging
the outputs means assigning values to the
low (0 or 4 mA) and high (20 mA) outputs.
This section provides a guide for configuring
and ranging the outputs. ALWAYS
CONFIGURE THE OUTPUTS FIRST.
To configure the outputs, access the Outputs
screen by pressing ENTER/MENU then
Program from the main screen. Outputs 1-4
can be set to Analog, PID or Simulation. Also, output assignments, scaling the range, linear or loga-
rithmic outputs, output dampening, output setpoints and output fault levels can be set for each
output if desired.
5.3 Setting a Security Code
The security codes prevent accidental or unwanted changes to program settings, displays,
and calibration. T56 has two levels of security code to control access and use of the
instrument to different types of users. The
two levels of security are:
• All: This is the Supervisory security
level. It allows access to all menu
functions, including Programming,
Calibration, Hold and Display.
• Calibration/Hold: This is the oper-
ator or technician level menu. It
allows access to only calibration and
Hold of the current outputs.
The set security codes, access the Security screen by pressing ENTER/MENU from the main
screen. Upon entry of the proper code, the follow security screen will appear.
