Setup mode
This is where you will find some of the features that govern the
way the DEQ230 operates in the other modes. They are what you
would call "Global" settings, in that their status is not stored with a
program. No matter which program you call up, these settings will
not change. And since they make such a big difference in how the
unit works, they have been "tucked away" so they won’t be altered
accidentally.
To access Setup mode, first you must turn off the DEQ230. Then
turn the unit back on, wait until you see the letters “DEQ230” in
the display, and then hold down the [STORE] button. After a
couple of seconds you will see the word "SETUP" appear in large
letters above Channel A‘s [BAND SELECT] buttons. Then the
LEDs over Channel A will read "M. LVL," and the LEDs over
Channel B will read "+00."
The first twelve [BAND SELECT] buttons of Channel A are
used to select between the different functions in Setup mode. They
are:
