COMPASS Example Set Up Database

Accessing an Example
Examples are accessible only when creating a new device setup (DUT, Support Device, or Piston Gauge). Follow the steps below to access a COMPASS example.

1. Create a new device by pressing the [New] button.
    
2. Select a model and manufacturer from the list.  The lists are composed of existing setups.
   
   
    
3. Press the [Find Previous Setup] button to display the Select Example Device dialog.  This list is composed of the hidden COMPASS examples and existing setups that have the same manufacturer
   and model selections.  Double click the desired example to create a device setup based on the information in the example.
   
   
    
4. Define the specific identifying characteristics of the setup: label, identification serial number etc. Edit the raw and final output range and range unit of pressure and temperature based setups. It is important to make sure that the range and unit information matches the actual instrument. View the [Comments] tab for any extra information associated with the example. Adjust the remote interface as required by the actual test device. The example may specify IEEE-488 address 11 and the actual test instrument uses 3. In this case edit the IEEE-488 to 3 instead of 11. 
    
5. Save the setup.  At this point the outputs most commonly used from the selected device are defined.  If an expected output is not available review the outputs provided by the example.
