3.  Programming and Operating Concepts and Procedures 
3.1 Overview 
This section explains the instrument’s programming and operating concepts and procedures.  Read and 
understand this section before attempting to program and operate your instrument. 
3.2 Quick Start Programming 
Use this section to quickly start up your instrument. This section contains the basic concepts you should 
know for configuring the instrument. For more details on specific topics, you should refer to section 4 and 
5 of this manual.

3.3  Modes of Operation 
The instrument has three modes of operation: Program, Online, and Maintenance. Each mode has its 
own menus. Most menu items provide access to sub-level menus. The SET MODE item switches the 
instrument from one mode to another.  Your instrument may have reduced menus if options are not 
present. 
Program mode 
Program Mode is an off-line mode for programming (configuring) the instrument.  In this mode, all inputs 
and outputs are frozen. If any of the five relays are assigned as DAT outputs the recorder will stop 
pulsing them when it is placed into Program Mode. The outputs will remain frozen in their present state, 
either On or Off. 
Online Mode 
Online Mode enables full use of the instrument with its inputs, outputs and internal programming. In this 
mode, it is fully interactive with all externally connected elements. 
Maintenance Mode 
Maintenance Mode is an off-line mode for maintaining proper and complete functioning of the instrument.  
Functions include calibration, off-line diagnostic testing, and various setups for operation.  In 
Maintenance Mode, all inputs and outputs are frozen. If any of the five relays are assigned as DAT 
outputs the recorder will stop pulsing them when it is placed into Maintenance Mode. The outputs will 
remain frozen in their present state, either On or Off.
