Table 1. Dispense Diagnostics Setup Items
ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|
Default DMON schedule num default: 1 min: 1 max: 10 |
This item is the active or most recently run DMON monitoring schedule. When Auto sampling is enabled, this should be set to the DMON schedule number that is to be used to monitor / gather data. Likewise, when Asynchronous sampling is enabled, this should be set to the DMON schedule number that is to be used to monitor / gather data. Do not change Default DMON schedule num if an Auto sampling or Asynchronous sampling monitoring session is active. If attempting to change when a monitoring session is active then the old value will be retained and the following warning will be posted: “SEAL-372 DMON in progress, item locked”. |
Auto sample each job default: YES min: NO max: YES |
This item enables / disables the automatic start of a DMON monitoring session at the start of each production job. The DMON monitoring session is ended when the job completes or when the job is aborted.
|
Max data files stored default: 0 min: 0 max: 999 |
This item is used to limit the number of DMON session data files stored on the destination device. Max data files stored can be used for both Auto sample and Asynchronous data monitoring modes. Do not change Max data files stored if an Auto sampling or Asynchronous sampling monitoring session is active. If attempting to change when a monitoring session is active then the old value will be retained and the following warning will be posted: “SEAL-372 DMON in progress, item locked”.
|
Starting file index default: 0 min: 0 max: 999 |
This item is used only when Max data files stored is not set to zero. The Starting file index value determines the starting sequential number used in the file name for the next DMON session. Setting the Starting file index will also directly set the File name index item on the DMON utility schedule setup menu for the schedule number indicated by the Default DMON schedule num item on this menu. Note that the File name index item on the DMON utility schedule setup menu can be manually changed afterward, but it will be updated when the Dispense Diagnostics menu is re-displayed or when a new DMON session begins. Starting file index can be used for both Auto sample and Asynchronous data monitoring modes. Do not change Starting file index if an Auto sampling or Asynchronous sampling monitoring session is active. If attempting to change when a monitoring session is active then the old value will be retained and the following warning will be posted: “SEAL-372 DMON in progress, item locked”.
|
Disable after max files default: NO min: NO max: YES |
This item is used to indicate how Data Monitor will handle new data after the Max data files stored limit is reached.
Disable after max files can be used for both Auto sample and Asynchronous data monitoring modes. |
Auto stop session at xxx KB default: 200 / NO min: 1 / NO max: 300 / YES |
If this item is set to YES, then the data monitoring session automatically stops when the estimated data file size exceeds xxx Kilobytes. You can change the value of xxx depending on the capacity of the device on which the data is being stored. This feature is disabled when the default DMON schedule has Start item or Stop item triggers enabled. If either of these are enabled then when setting this item to YES the following prompt will be displayed: “Cannot estimate file size with triggers!” and the item is reset to NO. The size of the data file is estimated based on the assumption that Data Monitor is continuously recording data during the entire session. The resulting file size may differ from this setting because the estimation is only an approximation. If this item is set to NO, then the size of files resulting from data monitor sessions is not limited and the xxx setting has no effect. This feature can be used along with the DMON file management (Max data files stored) in order to limit the size of multiple created files. Auto stop session can be used for both Auto sample and Asynchronous data monitoring modes. When using Asynchronous data monitoring mode, the value for the “Sample now” item on this menu will be changed from START to STOP when the file size limit has been reached. |
Asynch. start enable default: NO min: NO max: YES |
This item indicates whether asynchronous data monitoring is permitted.
|
Sample now default: STOP min: STOP max: START |
Setting this to START will begin an asynchronous data monitoring session using the Default DMON schedule num indicated on this screen. Setting this to STOP will end the asynchronous data monitoring session. If the Auto stop session item on this menu has been enabled, then after setting Sample now to START, START will be automatically changed to STOP once the estimated data file size exceeds xxx Kilobytes and the data monitoring session automatically stops. In order to set this item to START, the Asynch. start enable item must first be set to YES and Auto sample each job set to NO. If they are not both set as indicated then a “SEAL-373 Asynchronous DataMonitor disabled” error will be posted and the selection will revert to STOP. |
