Control Panel - Hameg Instruments HM8115-2 Manual De Instrucciones

Autotransfer: With this button the automatic data transfer
between PC and HM8115-2 can be turned on
or off. If the autotransfer is off, the values in
the fi elds of the 'Control Panel' are not being
refreshed. This option should be only used, if
individual, manual instructions are sent with
the 'Command' fi eld.
If the instrument is identifi ed by the software, the ID of the is-
ntrument is shown in the status fi eld below. If the instrument
could not be identifi ed the status fi eld displays "NO DEVICE
DETECTET". After program exit the software settings are sto-
red (except the setting of "autotransfer").
Please note that the identifi cation can take 4-5 seconds!

2.2 Control Panel

In the fi eld 'Control Panel' the current mesurement values are
displayed and are being refreshed every second. With the but-
tons below the data read-outs the measurement ranges can be
selected. The actual range is indicated by a green button. With
selection of the "Auto" function the HM8115-2 automatically
switches to the suitable voltage/current range.
2.3 Measurement
In the 'Measurement' fi eld you can do automated measure-
ments and store the values in a csv fi le (csv = Comma Sepa-
rated Values).
With the 'Start' button the test series is started. The measure-
ment value can be set in the fi eld 'Loop time'. After expiration
of the measurement intervall the software queries the values
from the power meter and displays the answer in the text fi eld
on the left hand side. These values can be stored by opening
the menu 'File – Save measurement'.
With the option 'rotational measurement' activated the mea-
surement function are automatically alternated. For example
you can activate all options WATT, VAR, VA, PF. The functions
will be successively polled from the power meter and displayed
in the text fi eld. With the 'Stop' button the current test series
is stopped. With the button 'Clear List'" the content of the text
window is deleted and a new test series can be started.
2.4 Instructions
With these two fi elds and the 'Send' button you can send indi-
vidual commands to the equipment. See the Operating Manual
of HM8115-2 for the command reference.
Please note, that the commands are sent to the instrument
without being checked by the software. If the HM8115-2 sends
an answer, it will be displayed in the 'Answer' fi eld.
If you send the commands manually to the instrument, we
recommend to turn off the 'autotransfer' option. If the 'Show
data traffi c' option is selected, all commands and answers are
shown in the fi elds 'Command' and 'Answer'.
