8800 Display Module Instruction Manual Setup

Ther otron Industries This generic anual is not intended to be used to operate your equip ent. 1-1

Section 1: Setup

Introduction to the 8800 display odule

NOTE: For information on the CM2 control module, refer to the CM2 Control Module Technical Manual.

The 8800 display module uses a CM2 control module, an SBC unit running Windows, and a touch screen monitor to

control an environmental test chamber. The display module uses a software application written for a Windows

environment. The application allows you to operate an environmental test chamber using the 8800 display module

(touch screen) and the CM2 control module. NOTE: The 8800 will always power up and auto-run the 8800 application.

Any attempt to circumvent this operation and enter the Windows operating system without specific Thermotron

guidance will void the warranty of the control system.

Using the touch screen

The touch screen monitor is the only user input device. To push a button or make a selection, touch the appropriate

area of the screen with the supplied stylus. NOTE: To calibrate the touch screen from any screen, hold the stylus

against the touch screen for 10 seconds and follow the instructions on the screen.

When you touch a specific area of the screen one of several things could happen:

•The button will re ain “in” and perfor the desired function. For example, touching the Manual button will

switch the display to the manual mode screen.

•A radio button, check box, or line will be selected. Touching the item a second time will deselect it.

•A drop-down enu will appear, enabling you to make a selection from a list.

•The alphanu eric keypad will appear. Use the

keypad to enter an alphanumeric value into the field.

The 8800 will highlight the last key pressed. Press

Enter to accept the new value, or press ancel to

close the keypad without entering a new value.

For example, when you touch a channel name field on

the han/Aux Names panel, the keypad will appear,

indicating that you can enter an alphanumeric value.

The alphanumeric keypad defaults to lowercase

letters. To enter uppercase letters or the symbols on

the number keys, press Shift and then the desired

letter keys. To return the keypad to lowercase letters,

press Shift again.

The Backspace key deletes the character to the left of

the cursor. The left and right arrow keys, located on

either side of the Space key, move the cursor to the

left and right in the display field at the top of the keypad.

•The nu eric keypad will appear. At the top of the keypad is a small display field as well

as an indication of the allowable range of the selected field. Use the keypad to enter a

numeric value into the field. Press Enter to accept the new value, or press ancel to close

the keypad without entering a new value into the field.

For example, when you touch the Deviation field on the program screen, the numeric

keypad will appear, indicating you need to enter a value between 0.0 and 25.0 into the

field.

File functions

The 8800 uses standard Windows dialog boxes for opening

and saving files (such as program files or graph settings

files). The buttons at the top of the dialog boxes also allow

you to copy, paste, delete, and rename files.

Files may be loaded from and saved to the internal hard

drive, a network drive, or an external USB drive.

8800 file types

The following table describes the types of files used by the 8800:

Instruction Manual.

The 8800 has a virtually unlimited amount of storage space for settings and data. The only limit on the 8800 storage

capacity is the available space on the internal hard drive. NOTE: Once the drive is full, the oldest data is automatically

deleted to make space for new data.

NOTE: The 8800 Backup Wizard helps you create a backup of your programs, settings, and data files so you can

prevent data loss and damage caused by disc failures, power outages, virus infections, and other potentially

damaging events. The 8800 Restore Wizard helps you restore your previously backed-up data in the event of a

hardware failure, accidental erasure, or other data loss or damage. For more information, see “Backup/Restore panel”

later in this section.

Exporting 8800 data

Press the Export button from any screen to start the Export Data Wizard. This wizard provides step-by-

step instructions for exporting data log files from the 8800.
