Description

The manual readout unit DATAVIEW is a compact and light reading system, connectable to
the whole range of instruments produced by SIM STRUMENTI. The DATAVIEW readout unit
is equipped internally with a rechargeable battery.
The DATAVIEW is equipped with a membrane keyboard and an LCD display that visualize
besides the instrument data also the maximum and minimum values.
The unit has two input channels, the HOLD and the OFFSET function and the possibility to
memorize up to 14000 data with date and time, as well as a 4-digit tag for the easy
identification of the performed measurement.
The unit has eight GAINS for the conversion of the data into physical units (one fixed and 7
programmable). The basic model DWS-BSE allows the reading of a single type of input (one
at choice), while the advanced model allows the reading of all the types of electric input
signal. The model DWS-ADV comes with a RS232 serial port for an easy setting and data
transfer to the PC.

buttons:
P1 /
P2
P3 /
P4
MEM /
SETUP
HOLD /
OFFSET
GAIN /
SCALE
ESC /
A/B
Example: By pressing GAIN/SCALE, you will activate the GAIN function; by
pressing SHIFT first and then GAIN/SCALE, you will activate the SCALE
function.
By pressing
ESC / A/B
, you can leave a function or go back to the
previous step.
By pressing
SHIFT
and then
ESC / A/B
, you can switch between Channel
A and Channel B.
Acquisition
By pressing once
ENTER
, the display will show the last setting used of
GAIN and SCALE. By pressing
ENTER
a second time, you will confirm the
settings and DATAVIEW will switch to the instrument reading.
C:A
– indicates the channel that being reading
By pressing
ENTER
during the reading, you can reset the minimum
reading (MIN) and the maximum reading (MAX).
The reading at the top
– indicates the current reading with the
6
corresponding unit of measurement
The lower left reading
– indicates the MIN reading
The lower right reading
– indicates the MAX reading
By using the
UP
and
DOWN
arrows, you can switch between showing
the instrument reading or the battery status.
During the reading phase the following operations are possible:
HOLD
- stop the reading on a desired data
OFFSET
- remove a desired offset from the reading
MEM
- data storage
HOLD
By pressing
HOLD/OFFSET
during the acquisition phase, DATAVIEW will
enter the HOLD function, which allow you to stop the reading and keep
the displayed data fixed.
The letter H will flash on the top right of the display.
By pressing
ESC
, you can exit the HOLD function.
OFFSET
By pressing
SHIFT
first and then
HOLD/OFFSET
during the acquisition
phase, DATAVIEW will enter the OFFSET function, which allow you to
deduct this value just measured (TARE) from the reading.
The letter O will flash on the top right of the display.
To exit and return the read value to the previous one, press
SHIFT
and
GAIN/OFFSET
again or press
ESC
.

MEM
By pressing
MEM/SETUP
, you can store the displayed data. There are
9999 memory spots.
The display will show a data saving screen.
By using the
LEFT
and
RIGHT
arrows, you can choose which memory
spot you want to save the displayed data. The spot will move one unit at
a time.
By pressing
SHIFT
first and then using
LEFT
and
RIGHT
arrows, the spot
will move ten by ten.
Then press
ENTER
to confirm the memory spot and save the data.
By using the
UP
and
DOWN
arrows, it is possible to view the other
informations relating to the memory spot (channel, reading, min, max).
Once you have chosen the desired memory spot, you can enter a
4-character code (at bottom left of the display) to remember more easily
the association of the instrument with the stored data.
With the
LEFT
and
RIGHT
arrows, you can move between the 4 spots,
while with the
UP
and
DOWN
arrows you choose the character on each
spot.
To confirm, press
ENTER
.
To go back in the menu press
ESC
.
To review the stored data, just turn on the DATAVIEW and press
MEM/SETUP
.
SCALE
By pressing
SHIFT
and then
GAIN/SCALE
, you can choose the
measurement scale you want to use.
There are up to 6 scales available*, which allow you to connect every SIM
instruments.
*In the DW-BSE model, there is only 1 scale available and it must be
specified when ordering
8
By using the
UP
and
DOWN
arrows, you can select the desired SCALE.
To confirm the selection, press
ENTER
.
GAIN
By pressing
GAIN/SCALE
, you can choose which GAIN you want to use.
For each measurement scale* (analog input type), there are 8 selectable
GAINS (analog signal scaling). The first cannot be modified and it
corresponds to the chosen scale. The others can be modified in the
SETUP function or with the DATAVIEW software.
By using the
UP
and
DOWN
arrows, you can select the desired GAIN.
To confirm the selection, press
ENTER
.
SETUP
By pressing
SHIFT
first and then
MEM/SETUP
, you can enter the control
unit setting mode, where you can change date and time and the
conversion values of the GAINS.
By using the arrows, you can select the SCALE first and then the GAIN.
Within each GAIN there are the following settings to be set:
• Decimal point
• Conversion value for start of scale
• Conversion value for the full scale
• Unit of measure (4 characters)
• Associate a P key (P1, P2, P3, P4) in order to have immediate
programming for the most used instruments.
P1/P2 – P3/P4
Once all the data have been set, you can easily recall the programmed P
Keys.
By pressing
P1/P2
or
P3/P4
, you can recall respectively P1 or P3.
By pressing
SHIFT
first and then
P1/P2
or
P3/P4
, you can recall
respectively P2 or P4.
