THE DISPLAY & THE MENUS
The display allows menu selections to be viewed and chosen. These choices
instruct the colorimeter to perform specific tasks. The menus are viewed in the
display using two general formats which are followed from one menu to the
next. Each menu is a list of choices or selections.
There are four lines in the display. The top line in each menu is a title or
pertinent instruction. The top line does not change unless a new menu is
selected. The second and third lines are used in two ways. One way is to display
menu choices. The second way takes advantage of the graphical capabilities of
the display. Both lines are used to display important messages, such as test
results, in a large, easy to read format. The fourth line is used for menu choices.

Think of the menu choices as a vertical list in the display which moves up or
down each time an arrow button is pressed. This list or menu is viewed through
a window, the menu choice window, in the display. The menu choice window
is the lower 2 or 3 lines of the display. Pushing the arrow buttons brings
another portion of the menu into menu choice window. This is referred to as
scrolling through the menu.

An asterisk, “*”, will start in the far left position of the top line in the menu
choice window. As the menu is scrolled through, different choices appear next
to the “*”. The “*” in the display corresponds with the
Q/ENTER button.
Pushing the
Q/ENTER button selects the menu choice which is adjacent to
the “*” in the menu choice window.
