Radiometer System

The Radiometer System tab sheet comprises a manual toggle for switching the dew blower’s speed to low and maximum (Speed Toggle button). This feature is used for test purposes only to check the blower’s performance and switching capabilities. 
A very useful feature is the Reset Radiometer PC function. When an update of the radiometer software has been performed by transferring a new 2CH.EXE file to the radiometer’s system file directory, a radiometer reset is required to run the new software version. When clicking on the Reset Radiometer PC button, a warning message is displayed to inform the user that if he confirms to continue this command this will result in a radiometer reset and requires a re-connection to the radiometer afterwards.
The Reload Configuration function sends a configuration inquiry to the radiometer which is then displayed in the Radiometer Configuration box. The information shown gives an overview of the types of installed hardware and important system settings.  
Power Failure Handling can be disabled (Clear Recovery Mode) or enabled (Set Recovery Mode). When enabled, the power failure handling automatically restarts the measurement on the radiometer after a power failure. When disabled, the radiometer returns to STANDBY mode after the power failure.
It is possible to manually set the radiometer time and date by using the Set Radiometer Time / Date function after entering the new time and date into the 6 edit boxes in the Set Time / Date group box. The current GPS clock time can be read with Read GPS Time / Date.
