GEMINI 5200 PROGRAMMING SOME NOTES & HINTS ON PROGRAMMING THE GEMINI 5200 1. Be systematic about programming! Plan out the exact features & functions you need for your application. Write out the code entries you need from start to finish, and then enter the codes completely. Don't start in the middle of the program codes & make arbitrary entries to "see what it will do." This is a sure way to create confusing results. Finally, after you are done, record your program & file it where you can find it later if you want to make changes. You can use this card to write in your codes in the program ladder on the reverse side, together with any fixed data entries, for convenient future référence. 2. Watch out for conflicting modes! The programs in the GEMINI 5200 have been written to prevent illégal code entry. However, to provide optimum flexibility, some reliance must be placed on the programmer to avoid conflicting codes. 3. The GEMINI 5200 can be interrogated at any time to see what modes & data entries have been made. Such interrogation can be made during a counting cycle or a sample time run without interrupting the normal counting process. In the lockout mode, ail functions can also be interrogated, but those functions locked out cannot be changed. Making changes in program modes or data during a run is not recommended since mid-cycle changes can resuit in unanticipated outputs for that particular cycle. PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE FOR FUNCTION & MODE SELECTION * (Applies To Programming Chart) To enter a programmable function or mode, enter the function selector code desired and then select the particular mode identifier required. For example, to set up a décimal point to display a reading in 1/100ths with leading zéro blanking, function selector code #46 must be entered. (See codes on reverse side.) Press button #4, then button #6. The display will temporarily interrupt its normal readout (without interfering with the normal opération of the unit). It will then display the entered code on the L.H. side. [46 ] (DISPLAY READOUT) Next, enter the mode identifier (button #3) that defines the décimal point location & LZB condition. This code is displayed on the right. [46 3] (DISPLAY READOUT) Now, enter this new sélection by pressing the "E" button. PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE FOR DATA ENTRY In data entry, the front panel pushbuttons are identified by two différent sets of références and will cause two différent reactions in the course of making a data entry. In the first phase of a data entry cycle, the particular data entry mode is called up by pushing the buttons identified by their panel markings. (i.e. Buttons "5", "3", "2", or "1 ). Once the data entry mode has been entered, the existing data appears on the display and the buttons below the display référence themselves to the digits directly above each button. The data can then be changed a digit at a time by depressing the button directly below the digits to be changed. After the new data value is obtained, the "E" button is depressed to enter the new value. [53,55 ] TIMED OUTPUT VALUES A Entering Code "53" or "55" will call up the Timed Output 1 to 2 Value in seconds & hundredths. The value can be set to the new value by incrementing each digit with the button underneath that digit. Press the "E" button to enter the new Timed Output value. (Max. Timed Output value = 599.99 sec.) [3 ] SCALE FACTORS One stroke of the "3" button calls up the Scale Factor for the currently displayed rate value. (The Scale Factor is the multiplier used to convert the actual rate to the direct readout display). The value can be changed by incrementing each digit with the button below it. Pressing the "E" key enters the new S.F. The S.F. can be set at any value from 0.0001 to 5.9999. [1,2 ] PRESETS One stroke of the "1" or "2" button calls up the Preset 1 or 2 Value, which can then be changed by incrementing each digit with the button below it. Press the "E" button to enter the new Preset. A Program before Connecting "PGM. DIS." to "COMMON". SELF TEST ROUTINE 6, +/- Depressing "6" & then "+/-" starts the self test routine by lighting ail décimal points, then ail 9's, ail 8's, ail 7's etc., until alternate 8's & 9's are displayed. At this time, the output can be manually activated for testing by pressing the "1" or "2" button. (The Output test is disabled when "PGM. DIS." terminal is pulled to "COMMON".) An automatic exit will occur six (6) seconds after the Test Mode is completed. Test Mode can be run at any time and will not interfère with the normal opération of the Gemini 5200 during a run.
