This software manual describes step by step how to operate successfully with the
NGA 2000 Series 19" TFID (Thermo-FID) analyzer modules and analyzers.
Chapter 2 shows the TFID software menu structure. Chapter 3 describes the analyzers
display and keyboard as well as the main menu and submenus. Chapter 4 describes the
basic controls incl. calibration with detailed illustrations. So you can easily compare the
actual analyzer (module) display with the illustrations of this manual.
Chapter 5 describes the expert configurations of the analyzer module and of the I
nput/
O
utput Modules (I/O modules). Chapter 6 describes the system configuration and
diagnostics. The layout of both chapters is not as detailed as of chapter four. By default,
the way through the menus is described giving the menu lines you have to enter
sequentially to reach a specific menu within the TFID software . At the end of this
description you will find an illustration of the final submenu screen followed by set up
instructions and explanations of functions and variables of each expert or system
configuration menu. Chapter 7 will give you some information about the display controls.
Not all sections of Chapter 5 (expert configurations) are important for each operator.
Which section is of interest depends on the NGA 2000 configuration with reference to the
following components:
♦
Control Module CM
♦
Analyzer Module AM
♦
Input/Output Modules I/O's (SIO = Standard I/O, DIO = Digital I/O)
♦
Network I/O Modules Analog Output with 3 Alarms I/O, Auto Calibration I/O,
System Auto Calibration I/O
You can distinguish the following system units and SIO/DIO configurations:
System Unit SIO/DIO-Configuration
Section
Page
TFID analyzer module (AM):
•
without front panel,
i.e. without control unit
•
can be combined with a platform, a
MLT analyzer, a TFID analyzer or a
customer developed control unit
⇒
1 local SIO and 1 local DIO (or 2
local DIO’s) can be installed in the
TFID/MLT analyzer module
⇒
SIO and DIO can be configured
for the MLT AM channels or the
TFID analyzer module only
∗ 5.1.18
p. 5-69
Platform (CM Software):
•
Control unit with front panel
•
Without measurement channels
⇒
1 SIO and up to 4 DIO's can be
installed in the platform (CM I/O)
⇒
SIO and DIO can be configured
for all MLT channels % AM’s
combined with the platform
∗ 5.2
p. 5-85
TFID analyzer (CM plus TFID AM
software = TCA software):
•
Analyzer with front panel
•
CM and AM software in the same
analyzer, i.e. all functions of the
control unit and of the AM are
combined in one controller board
⇒
1 SIO and 1 DIO (or 2 DIO’s) can
be installed in the TFID/MLT
analyzer (CM I/O)
⇒
SIO and DIO can be configured
for all MLT channels and AM’s
combined with the TFID/MLT
analyzer
