Menu Keys
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 be-
fore 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 calorim-
eter and are informational only. Certain ones can be overridden by the user entering a de-
sired 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 speci-
fied action to minimize accidental disruptions to the program and/or stored data.
