Select the required batch numbering system:
Automatic – the batch number increments automatically when a
new batch is started, up to a maximum batch
number of 9,999,999,999
Off – a batch number is not assigned automatically but
may be entered manually by the operator
Text – enables the operator to identify the batch with a text
string (max. 10 characters)
Note. If set to 'Automatic' or 'Off', this parameter enables the operator to
enter a batch number when starting a batch from the operator menu –
see Section F.3.2, page 174.
Enter up to 3 identifying labels for the batch, maximum 20 characters per
field.
Note.

Configured fields are shown on the 'New Batch' dialog box that is
displayed when the operator starts a batch from the operator
menu. This enables the operator to enter further details to identify
the batch both on the recorder and when analyzing the archived
data using DataManager.

It is important to configure Field 1 because it is used, together with
the batch number, to identify a batch:
– on chart annotations
– in the alarm event log
– during historical review
– in the DataManager display/search functions
Exit and save the configuration.
