After starting the program will display the starting picture, and the draws out the so called main dialogue window, runs the self-test program of the measuring equipment, and then it is waiting for the handling command. As a result of the successful self-test the background of displays CAL, COMx and CLK becomes green. Further handling steps:
We can set in the MODE, MEAS_ITEM, CONFIG and VAR_PARAM menus, what kind of measure we wish to execute, with what kind of variable parameter. Program can echo the set values in the status field ? we can always read the actual measurement settings from it:
We can edit the configuration record behind the buttons of the dialogue windows under the TOOLBAR field.
After activating this command the EP2C loads the measurement configuration record to the EP2. EP2 executes measurements according to the measurement configuration record, and it is sending the results back to the EP2C continuously. Measurement results are displayed in the result field continuously. Pointers of the measurement show the development of the measuring in the supplementary text field.
Measurement will automatically stop after a determined amount of measurements by parameters VAR_SEQ_LENGTH and NUMBER_OF_MEAS_SEQ. Measurement can stop by pressing the STOP_MEAS button.
Measurement results can be saved with the OPERATION SAVE_REC command to the database. We can make reports in ASCII format with the FILE EXPORT command to a file, which can be read to the WINWORD as a file with dos_text format. We can copy the main dialogue window, or the measurement result window with commands under the EDIT menu to the Clipboard, and from it to our reports. Further information
