Calorimeter Operating Instruction Manual
Control Keys
All calorimeter configurations and
operations are handled by a menu-driven
system operated from the bright touch
screen display. The settings and controls
are organized into nine main sections or
pages which comprise the MAIN MENU.
Note:
Keys with a “double box” in the upper
left hand corner lead to sub-menus.
The controls that change the data field
information in the menus will be one of the
following:
1. Toggles. These data fields contain
ON/OFF or YES/NO choices. Simply
touching the key on the screen toggles
the choice to the other option. The
current setting is displayed in the lower
right corner of the key.
2. Option Selection. These data fields
contain a list of options. Touching the
key on the screen steps the user
through the available choices. The
current setting is displayed in the lower
right corner of the key.
3. Value Entry Fields. These data fields
are used to enter data into the
calorimeter. Touching the key on the
screen brings up a sub menu with a
key pad or similar screen for entering
the required value.
Some keys lead to multiple choices.
Always clear the current value before
entering a new value. Once entered the
screen will revert to the previous menu
and the new value will be displayed in
the lower right corner of the key.
4. Data Displays. Most of these keys
display values that have been calculated
by the calorimeter and are informational
only. Certain ones can be overridden by
the user entering a desired value
through a sub-menu. The value is
displayed in the lower right corner of the
key.
Note:
Some keys will respond with an
opportunity for the user to confirm
the specified action to minimize
accidental disruptions to the
program and/or stored data.
There are five control keys which
always appear in the right column of the
primary displays. These keys are
unavailable when they are gray instead
of white.
1. Escape. This key is used to go up one
level in the menu structure.
2. Main Menu. This key is used to return
to the main menu touch screen from
anywhere in the menu structure.
3. Start. This key is used to start a
calorimeter test.
4. Report. This key is used to access the
test results stored in the calorimeter, to
enter thermochemical corrections and to
initiate report on the display, printer or
attached computer
5. Help. This key is used to access help
screens related to the menu currently
displayed on the touch screen.
