Section 7 Options setup
The WinLog97 program is an integral part of the analyzer. Running under Microsoft Windows
permits you to list and analyze up to 500 stored measurement values. The program also includes a
special monitoring feature, which lets your computer act as a chart recorder, and enables a hardware
test to ensure that the system is in good working order.
7.1 Main menu basics
When you start the program, it displays the
Main Menu, which automatically maximizes
on opening and appears as follows:
• File serves typical Windows file management needs.
• The Logger menu lets you download measurement values from the instrument, make
modifications to the sample list that can be used to identify sampling point locations, or clear the
instrument's stored values.
• Export places your information into the Windows Clipboard, so that it can be pasted directly into
other Windows programs. This is especially useful when working with spreadsheet programs, but
the information can be pasted into word processing programs as well.
• The Monitoring menu creates a running chart of real-time measurements (see
measurements in real-time
• The Configuration menu lets you see how your system has been configured for your application.
You may change the PC's COM port, the sensor membrane, automatic data acquisition rate, or the
sensor calibration mode. You may also lock out the instrument's CAL button, or for calibration
using a span gas, you may enter the span gas percentage.
• The Troubleshooting menu includes a series of tests, permits the setting of the clock, and
enables a barometric pressure calibration routine.
• The Help menu gives access to the Help file and allows the identification of the
WinLog97 program.
7.2 Instrument - PC connection
For the hardware connection of the instrument to a PC, see
on page 10. The Configuration, Serial port menu lets you choose one of four serial communication
ports.
Usually, COM1 is used to connect to a mouse, so try COM2 first. You may find that a separate SetUp
program supplied with your PC is necessary to activate this port. Click on OK to activate the selected
port. If the port you have selected here is adequate, the WinLog97 program will return to the main
menu. Otherwise, you will see an RS232 ERRORS message advising you to select another port.
7.3 Reviewing instrument configuration
To review if the analyzer is set up as expected, choose the Configuration, Configuration view
command.
You may change a number of these settings using the WinLog97 program. The modifiable settings,
and information relating to these settings are listed in the next section, Configuring the instrument.
However, should you see any unexpected items listed on your screen which you are unable to
correct, please contact your Hach Lange representative.
7.4 Configuring the instrument
