ment calibration or certain diagnostic procedures, the instrument’s response messages are
also displayed here.
Concentration Field: The far right portion of the top line of text displays the concentration of
the sample gas currently being measured by the analyzer. The number reported here is the
actual concentration of the sample gas reported in whatever units the user selects
(Section 6.5.6). This number remains unaffected, regardless of how the ranges of the
instrument’s analog outputs are configured.
Key Definition Field: The bottom line of text displays is reserved for defining the test
function of the row of keys just below the display. These definitions change depending on
which part of the software menu tree is currently being displayed.
10.3.7.3. Keypad
The row of eight keys just below the vacuum florescent display are the main method by
which the user interacts with the analyzer. These keys are context sensitive and are
dynamically re-defined as the user moves around in the software menu structure.
10.3.7.4. Front Panel States LED’s
There are three status LED’s located in the upper right corner of the M9110E’s front panel:

10.3.7.5. Display / Keyboard Interface Electronics
The display of the analyzer is a vacuum fluorescence display with two lines of 40 text
characters each. Information is organized as shown in Figure 3-2. Figure 10-17 shows the
electronic diagram of the display / keyboard circuitry.
Through the keyboard/display interface electronics, the M9110E Analyzer captures the
status of the eight front panel keys, alerts the CPU when keys are depressed and manages
communications between the keyboard, the CPU and the front panel display. Except for the
keyboard interrupt status bit, all communication between the CPU and the keyboard/display
is handle by the instrument’s I 2 C bus. The CPU controls the clock signal and determines
when the various devices on the bus are allowed to talk or required to listen. Data packets
are labeled with addresses that identify for which device the information is intended.
