[. . . ] FPG8601TM/VLPCTM Operation and Maintenance Manual © 2007 DH Instruments, a Fluke Company FPG8601TM/VLPCTM OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL High pressure liquids and gases are potentially hazardous. Energy stored in these liquids and gases can be released unexpectedly and with extreme force. High pressure systems should be assembled and operated only by personnel who have been instructed in proper safety practices. © 2007 DH Instruments, a Fluke Company All rights reserved.

[. . . ] Changes made to any parameter logged in the header is not reflected in the completed data file. For best use of the data file, do not make changes to the program configuration after the run mode begins. Most changes will not be reflected in the data file. 6. 5. 4 [RUN TEST SEQUENCE] [Run Test Sequence] is available only after one of the other run modes have been selected. Use this option to execute a test sequence created with the <Test Sequence Editor> (see Section 6. 6. 5). FPG Tools automatically sets each test pressure and averages the results according to the test sequence. When all test cycles are complete, FPG Tools automatically sets [Run Monitor] mode and vents all system pressure. For this reason, test sequences are a good way to safely run long, multi cycle tests overnight. The steps involved with running a test sequence are described below. © 2007 DH Instruments, a Fluke Company Page 66 6. FPG Tools provides a default data file name that can be edited as desired (see Section 9. 2. 1). If a pressure cycle is specified in the test sequence, the VLPC is set to a range that best accommodates the pressures in the pressure cycle. The maximum then minimum pressure cycle pressures are set for the number of pressure cycles specified. This pressure cycle occurs only one time, at the beginning of the first test cycle. A VLPC range is selected that allows the maximum test sequence pressure up to the first range change in the test sequence or the end of the test, whichever comes first. The hold and stability limits specified on the <Control> tab of the test sequence are set at this point. The test sequence begins stepping through the test points starting with the first test point in the test sequence. If the test point specifies a range change, FPG Tools detects the best range to use for the test points between the current point and the end of the test, whichever comes first. This optimum range is automatically set if it is not the active range. The default hold limits are used whenever the VLPC pressure range is changed in the middle of the test sequence. If the test point specifies a tare, the system is automatically tared in the same fashion as the [Zero System] toolbar function (see Section 5. 2). An internal calibration will be executed for every point that is zeroed when <Auto run internal calibration while zeroing> is enabled (see Section 5. 2). The test pressure is automatically set using the VLPC when it is active. Otherwise, a prompt is provided for the operator to manually set the test pressure.
