About COMPASS Examples

COMPASS examples are existing setups that are used as a guide to help add a new device to COMPASS. There are 2 types of examples: those that appear directly in the DUT and/or Support Device Editors and those that do not. Only a few examples are visible in the device editors. This is in an attempt to minimize the confusion between various COMPASS setups. The majority of the COMPASS examples are not directly visible to the user. These examples are used when creating a new device. The information below is used as a guide to updating and using examples that are not directly visible in the DUT and Support Device Editors.

Adding New Examples

With COMPASS not running, download the example database file Default.mdb and copy it to the
\Program Files\COMPASS for Pressure directory. You must overwrite the existing Default.mdb file if present.
Then run COMPASS.
The examples in the default database are automatically updated in the active COMPASS database. Refer to the Updating Example Setups topic in the COMPASS Help System for more detailed information on adding the examples.

Example Setup Database: Default.mdb

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.

Create a new device by pressing the [New] button.

Select a model and manufacturer from the list. The lists are composed of existing setups.

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.

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.

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.
