Data pertaining to a function being performed by Triton can be viewed on the LCD
while the function is in progress. Data in these screens is active and being updated
constantly until the end of the function has been reached. Different screens exist for
charge, discharge, charge-to-discharge cycles, and discharge-to-charge cycles.

CHARGE DATA:

This screen (right) will

constantly update and show the battery type in
the upper-left, input charge capacity in the upper
right (in mAh), and output voltage, charge
current, and elapsed charge time (in minutes)
along the bottom.

DISCHARGE DATA: This screen (similar to above) will constantly update, showing
battery type in the upper-left, discharge capacity upper-right (in mAh), output
voltage, discharge current, and elapsed discharge time along the bottom.

CHARGE > DISCHARGE DATA: This screen (right) will show the cycle number top-
center, amount of capacity which was discharged FROM the battery top-right (in
mAh), output voltage, discharge current, and elapsed discharge time (in minutes)
along the bottom.

DISCHARGE > CHARGE DATA: This screen
(similar as above) will show the cycle number top-
center, amount of capacity – or charge energy –
which was delivered TO the battery top-right (in
mAh), output voltage, charge current, and peak
charge time along the bottom.

Triton allows for the adjustment of current levels WHILE performing a charge,
discharge, or cycle function (no need to stop a function and return to another menu).
When the LCD is showing any of the displays in this section, briefly press the dial,
causing the current value to flash. Then, rotate the dial to the desired current level,
and re-press the dial to confirm the new current level. Triton will proceed to complete
the function as signaled by the current value changing to show “END.” Note: For
NiMH batteries, when Triton has reached peak charge it will change to “top-off”
charge, where the current value on-screen will change to show “TOP.” When top-off
charge is complete Triton will proceed to show “END.”
