5. Press the TOTAL button on the front panel of Hydra Series II.
Assure Hydra Series II displays a 0 value.
6. Jumper output 0 to the Total (∑) input by connecting the (∑) terminal test lead to
output 0’s test lead.
7. Using either a terminal or a computer running a terminal emulation program, set up
Hydra Series II to toggle (turn ON and OFF) Digital Output 0.
In sequence send the following commands to Hydra Series II and assure Hydra
Series IImeasures and displays the correct total value:
DO_LEVEL 0,0 <CR>
DO_LEVEL 0,1 <CR>
Assure Hydra Series II displays a totalizer count of 1.
8. Again in sequence send the commands:
DO_LEVEL 0,0 <CR>
DO_LEVEL 0,1 <CR>
A totalizer count of 2 should now be displayed.
9. Repeat step 8 for each incremental totalizing count.
10. Set the Hydra Series II’s totalized count to a value near full range (65535) and test
for overload.
Send the following commands to Hydra Series II:
TOTAL 65534 <CR>
DO_LEVEL 0,0 <CR>
DO_LEVEL 0,1 <CR>
A totalizer count of 65535 should be displayed.
11. Send:
DO_LEVEL 0,0 <CR>
DO_LEVEL 0,1 <CR>
Hydra Series II’s display should now read "OL". This indicates that the counter has
been overrun.
