4 CONFIGURATION

4.1 Introduction

This section details the configuration of the instrument locally
using the touch screen. A configuration file can also be created
on a PC and transferred to the instrument via one of the archive
media options.
In addition, up to 16 different configurations can be stored in
internal memory and restored when required.

4.1.1 Configuration Modes

The instrument has two modes of configuration/operation, Basic
and Advanced. The differences between them are shown in
Table 4.1.

4.1.2 Configuration Level Security

Two methods of configuration access protection are available:
1. Password protection (Factory Default).
The Configuration level cannot be accessed until the
correct password has been entered – see Fig. 4.1,
page 46.
2. Internal switch protection.
The Configuration level cannot be accessed until the
instrument is withdrawn from its case and the internal
switch set to the 'Configuration Level Not Protected'
position – see Fig. 4.2, page 47.

Easier and Faster to Set Up
(Common Settings for each Process Group)
One rate for all channels in a group.
At the same rate as recording to internal memory.
All channels in a group turned on and off
simultaneously.
Preset to DIN standard. Cannot be changed.
Same as Engineering Range.
Limited range dependent on sample rate – see
Section 4.5.1, page 64.
The instrument can be configured for one of two levels of
password protection:
Basic Security:
Up to 4 users
Each user is assigned a unique 4-digit security code for

Configuration level access

Optional security code protection of access to Setup level
Advanced Security:
Up to 12 users
Each user is assigned a unique password of up to 20
characters
Each user is assigned configuration, setup and/or
electronic signature access privileges
Each user is assigned one of 3 levels of configuration level
access privileges
Configurable password expiry times, password failure
limits and minimum password length
Inactive user disabling
Note. The electronic signature feature is available only with
Advanced security.
