Figure 104: System PC

The System>PC contains the backlight brightness control and the switch for the automatic screen saver. Judicious use of these

controls will help extend the battery life between charging’s. The WVGA screen used in the DXN consumes about 1/3 of the

battery capacity when the meter is running on battery. By using the screen saver and lowering the amount of backlight when

conditions permit can significantly extend the battery life for that particular session.
The backlight Brightness control ranges from a low of 1 (least bright) to 5 (most bright).
The screens saver has a range of 0 to 50 minutes.
If the meter is running with the battery charger connected there is no need to either decrease the backlight or use the screen

saver function.
The second portion of the operations is populated by a graph showing the temperature of the system processor board and

the CPU (Central Processing Unit). Also shown are the percentages of RAM (Random Access Memory) used and how busy the

CPU is.
