Firmware Credit System

The credits system is a flexible way of changing the recorder features without having to up-
grade the firmware. Simply purchase a number of credits to cover your current and possibly
future requirements and the recorder is delivered with the credits loaded. The credit value
in each recorder is displayed in the Factory menu.
Select the Options button and by activating and de-activating the options in the credit list,
the recorder will change its functionality. Go from: Main Menu > Configure > Setup > Edit >
General > Factory > Credits.

maintenance notification. Including Power cycles, Last powered up, Total On time, Total Off time,
Longest off time, Battery life left, Backlight life left at 100% brightness, Compact Flash insertions,
Hi/Lo CJC value (Hi & Lo temps), Analogue In last factory/user cal, Relay operations.
2 Enables the printer option to print text from various screens using a standard PCL (Printer Com-
mand Language) printer, connected to the USB port or to the network
5 The Batch function allows the user to segment portions of data for further analysis. The Batch
function manages sections of data. Concurrent batches are now associated with a group of pens.
The pens with in each group will belong to the batch that is controlled by that group. Batches can
be controlled through the event system and batch markers are setup by the user and are used to
identify and analyse batches of data. Supports up to 6 concurrent batches.
