4.3 Menu Reference

The two types of default displays are illustrated in Figures 4-2 and 4-3
below. The default displays provide: 1) the level measurement in the
selected units for each pair of channels, or 2) the level measurement and a
usage estimate in the selected units per minute for the selected channel.
Use the

key to toggle between the two types of default displays. Use

the

OPTION

key to cycle the channel selection. The cursor

indicates the

currently selected channel.

If the usage rate default display is selected (i.e. the second type), the arrow
displayed to the right of the usage estimate indicates the usage trend as
shown below.

For the remainder of this discussion, Channel 1 selection will be used in
illustrating the various menus where channel selection is applicable.

4.3.1

Accessing Menus

Menus are accessed by pressing the appropriate key while the default
display is visible. Once a menu is entered, the numerical keys will enter
the associated number into the display. Use the

ESC

key (while no

numerical entry is in progress) to exit a menu and return to the default
display.

For example, if the

1•HI

key is pressed while the default display is visible,

the HI menu is displayed. Pressing the

1•HI

key in the HI menu results in

a numerical entry of the “1” digit.

Some menus have multiple screens associated with the function. To move
to the next menu, press the

key. Repeatedly pressing the

key will cycle through all the menu screens associated with the function.
