General Tools and Instruments PM930SD - Manual (Page 6)

Pressing the REC/ENTER button causes the word “no” or “yES” to appear over the term
“Sd-F”. Press the SET ▼ button to make a selection. Choose “yES” whenever a new SD
card is being used, or when a used card is being repurposed (from use with another SD
card instrument or a camera, for example) and all data on it is to be erased. Choose “no”
to preserve any data on a card previously used with this instrument.
If you choose “yES”, after you press the REC/ENTER button the instrument will prompt you
to confirm that decision by displaying the term “Ent” below “yES” and sounding three
beeps. To confirm that you want to begin the erasure/formatting procedure, press the
REC/ENTER. “Ent” will then flash several times and the instrument will sound another three
beeps to confirm that the SD card has been erased and formatted.
2. Set the date and time. Once the SD card has been set up, the word “dAtE” will appear in
the center of the display, along with the flashing value “00.00.00” at the lower left, above
“yy.mm.dd”. Set the current year by pressing the ▼ or ▲ button repeatedly until the
correct value appears above “yy”. Press the REC/ENTER button to store the setting. The
next screen that appears will have the value above “mm” flashing. Use the ▼ or ▲
button to navigate to the current month and press the REC/ENTER button to store the
setting. When the next screen flashes the value above “dd”, again use the ▼ or ▲ button
to navigate to the current day and press the REC/ENTER button to store the setting.
Once you have set the date, the display will prompt you to set the hour, minute and second
of the current time. Again use the ▼ or ▲ buttons to navigate to the correct values, and the
REC/ENTER button to store the settings.
3. Set the datalogging sampling time. Once the date and time have been set and stored,
the display will show a value below the letters “SP-t”. Press the ▼ or ▲ button to
decrease or increase the flashing hour value until the desired number appears below
“SP-t”. Press the REC/ENTER button to store that setting. The minutes value will then
flash. Press the ▼ or ▲ button to decrease or increase the value and then press the
REC/ENTER button to store that setting. Finally, press the ▼ or ▲ button to decrease or
increase the flashing seconds value and then press the REC/ENTER button to store that
setting. This completes the setting of the pressure meter’s datalogging sampling time.
4. Enable or disable auto power off. Once the sampling time has been set and stored,
the display will show the word “yES’ over the term “PoFF”. Press the ▼ button until the
desired automatic power off management scheme (“yES” for enable; “no” for disable) is
displayed. Press the REC/ENTER button to store the selection. If enabled, the power off
function shuts off the PM930SD after a period of inactivity of ten minutes.
5. Enable or disable the beeper. Once the auto power off function has been enabled
or disabled, the display will show the word “yES” over the word “bEEP”. Press the ▼
button until the desired setting (“yES” or “no”) is displayed, and then press the
REC/ENTER button to store the selection.
6. Choose a decimal point or comma to represent the decimal division between integers
and fractions (for example, American-style 20.88 vs. European-style 20,88). Once the
beeper has been enabled or disabled, the display will show the word “bASIC” above the
phrase “dEC”. Press the ▼ button to make “bASIC” (American style) or “Euro” appear in
the upper display, as desired. Press the REC/ENTER button to store the selection.
