Analog-Digital Converter, this electronic components are used to digitize analogous measuring-signals and make them readable to microprocessors. Depending on the required accuracy the digitizing is performed with 8, 16 or 24 bit resolution.

Dragging is used to move an object on the screen from one location to another. Dragging is also used to resize an object by moving the objects border. Click and hold down the mouse button to move or resize an object.

A focus is a visible border or color-effect emphasizing preselected controls

A filter is used to prevent invalid character-input. The set of valid characters are usually annotated with rectangular brackets, for instance
[0-9], [ASCII 32-127]

Final-Values are the result of the signal-postprocessing. Post-processing is used for data-correction by applying calibration-values, or if the use of different technical units is required for data-evaluation (i.e. ppm versus µg, or m/sec versus km/h).

A Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows the user to interact with the system in a shophisticated way.

Halfhour-Meanvalues (HMV) are the result of the standard data-processing. The environmental monitoring system is capable to store up to 21 days of HMV for up to 48 components.

A component may be a physical or a logical component. For instance the wind-gust is described by 3 logical components: wind-gust, related wind-direction and related time-marking of the occurence.

A progress-bar is an indicator showing the progress of timeconsuming operations

Raw-Values are the result of the signal-conversion - the electrical input-signal is converted in technical units by use of a polynomial. For instance the signal-voltage of the temperature-sensor is converted in °Celsius.

RS-232 is a communication-link used for data-transfer over short distances (suitable for up to 15 meters of cable-length).

The sub-identifier is used to distinguish devices of same type. The unique Device ID consists of two digits describing the type of measuring device (ie. temperature sensor = 13) and a sub ID from 1 - 9.

The task-bar is used by the operating system (ie. Win98, WinNT) to indicate running user-applications. A small part of the task-bar is provided for system-activities, for instance time-display.

A hooverhelp or tooltip is used to explain abbreviations or technical expressions

A User Password is required to access data or execute operations

Variable-Meanvalues (VMV) are the result of user-defined data-processing. VMVs may be established for up to 8 components. The storage of VMVs depends on the number of components and the choosen time-interval.

The environmental monitoring system is capable to store exactly 3 days of VMV for 8 components with measuring-intervals of 1 minute. If the number of components is decreased, or the time-interval is increased, the storage-capacity will increase accordingly.

Command-Menu

The Command-Menu comprises controls for maintenance and service tasks. The Command-Menu is an extension to the Status-View, therefore, all status-information are also available in the Command-Menu view area. For a detailed description of the displayed information see Status-View .

Description

Main Menu ButtonQuit the Command-Menu and returns to the Main-View.

Help ButtonCalls the online-help for the Command-View (this chapter)

Device Number This entry-field is used to specify a device by component-number for use with "Start Calibration" and "Varible MW". If you don't know the approbiate component-number, use the Device-Selector button

to open the Device Selector .

Maintenance

Maintenance ON disables the data-processing. The data-acquisition continues, so the service-technician can make adjustments and calibrations to the measuring devices and can watch the results immediately, but these data-values are not used for mean value calculation.

Maintenance OFF re-enables the data processing.

Start CalibrationThis control is used to start a device calibration beyond the schedule. This forced calibration is carried out even within blocking-time. A device or a device-group must be selected by the component-entryfield or by the Device Selector to perform this task.

Set System TimeThis control is used to synchronize the environmental monitoring station with your PC-time. Normally this task will be performed by the central monitoring system

Keep in mind: Setting the time usually causes lost of data because the data-processing for pending mean values is restarted.

Call CenterThis control is used to force an autoMessage to the central monitoring system for test-reasons.

Variable MVVariable Mean Values (VMV) can be processed for up to 8 devices (in addition to HMV). To setup a VMV you have

to select a device or multiple devices (a device-group)

to determine a mean value period
[01] [02] [03] [05] [06] [10] [15] minutes

to start (restart) VMV with this button

Use the Device Selector to configure a device-group for VMV or to edit a existing device-group. Restart with an empty device-group (no device selected at all) to stop any VMV.
