2635A
Users Manual
1-10
An extensive command set allows the user to develop custom software in GWBASIC,
QBASIC, and QuickC. The command set is discussed in Chapter 4.
Hydra Starter Package
Starter is a DOS based, menu-driven software package used to transfer configuration
data from and to the instrument, log measurement data collected by the instrument,
extract data from the memory card, and manage the acquired data. During operation,
Starter displays readings of all channels in real time and can automatically log the data to
a Lotus 1-2-3 compatible file.
Hydra Logger
Hydra Logger (model 2635A-901) is an optional Windows-based package that allows
complete setup, data collection and data conversion from up to two Hydra units. Logger
communicates over the RS-232 port on a personal computer and may be used with
telephone models. Hydra Logger with Trending (model 2635A-902) includes a
comprehensive trending package that simulates a chart recorder. A brochure with
complete details is available.
Options and Accessories
Options and accessories include measurement transducers, cables, applications software,
carrying case and other items, all of which are summarized in Table 1-2.
Memory Card Reader
Data Bucket measurement data and configuration setups may be stored on a memory
card that is inserted into the slot on the instrument front panel (see Figure 1-1). To
review and analyze the recorded data, the memory card data can be routed to a PC via
the RS-232 interface, or the memory card can be removed and taken to a PC equipped
with a memory card reader. The memory card reader (optional) is external to the PC and
connects to a PC parallel port (LPT1, LPT2, etc.). The memory card reader is configured
as another PC drive, e.g., the D: drive. Memory card files include data files
(dAtxx.HYD) and configuration setups (SEtxx.HYD). The PC manipulates these files
using applications software Starter (supplied) and Logger (optional). The selected
memory card reader must read SRAM cards and meet Personal Computer Memory Card
International Association (PCMCIA)/Japan Electronics Industrial Development
Association (JEIDA) standards. This memory card application meets PCMCIA standards
release 2.0.
Connector Set, 2620A-100
The 2620A-100 is a complete set of input connectors: one Universal Input Module, one
ALARM OUTPUTS connector, and one DIGITAL I/O connector. The use of additional
connector sets allows quick equipment interface to several wiring setups.
