used. For example, if the main drive is C: and the day file directory is specified
as '\DATA' or 'C:\DATA', the day files will be stored in C:\DATA\DIRYY. If
the main drive is C: and the day file directory is specified as 'A: \DATA', the day
files will be stored in A:\DATA\DIRYY. Take care not to terminate the string
with a backslash, such as 'A:\DATA\'.
(Note: If one floppy drive is in use, either alone or with a hard disk, DOS will
allow the floppy drive to be named A: or B:. If the floppy is specified by default
as A: (which is normally the case) and it is to be used for day file storage, do
NOT define the day file directory as using drive B: (such as 'B:\DATA'). )
Next, enable the desired file storage by toggling the three menu items under the
"Day File Directory Storage:" heading in the Instrument Configuration edit screen
to the desired setting.
DAY FILE DIRECTORY STORAGE:
TRANSACTIONS? (No, All, Alarms Only)
STATUS CHANGES? (No, Yes)
SOURCE CHECK RESULTS? (No, Yes)
Storage of transactions can be done for all transactions or only alarmed
transactions. These are stored in MMDDYY.TXT.
Status changes are stored in MMDDYY.CHG.
Source check results are stored in MMDDYY.SCK.
Sum Zone Setup
Up to 75 sum zones, each containing two to four detectors, are supported by the
PCM-2. A default set of definitions is provided which creates zones from
adjacent detectors, however these may be deleted or changed to meet site-specific
requirements. Sum zone activity is checked and results displayed along with
single-detector results. Distributed contamination, which does not trigger an
alarm on anyone detector, may still be sensed if it spans two or more detectors
within a single sum zone. Note that sum zones may overlap; one detector may
belong to several zones.
Within this screen, successive sum zones may be viewed by using the page-up and
page-down keys on the main keyboard. Detectors may be added to or deleted
from the current sum zone by using the arrow keys to place the square cursor on
the desired detector, then pressing the F2 key to add or remove the selected
detector.
