OPERATING MULTIMET

2.1

Getting Started

When first switched on, the Multimet performs a series of self test routines

and displays the currently installed software version. Following successful

completion of these routines, a system prompt will request entry of the

current time and date.

It is important to set the current time and date correctly whenever

the internal data logging facility is used. This ensures that all recorded data is

correctly marked with corresponding date and time markers.

2.2

Setting the Time and Date

Adjustment of the time and date is performed using the appropriate grey

buttons located on the front of the instrument, immediately below each

option shown on the display.

The internal clock may also be set automatically from the Online Pro

P.C software, as described later.

It will be necessary to reset the clock whenever the power supply

has been disconnected from the system.

Following the entry of time and date, the display will present the

“Main” compass display containing 2 minute rolling average data.

2.2.1 Adjusting back light and contrast

Briefly press the blue button to gain access

to the LCD lighting and contrast

adjustment.

Adjust the settings to provide the

most comfortable image by using the

options shown on the display.

2.2.2 Changing displayed information

The Multimet can display data in a variety of formats to suit the specific

demands of industrial, meteorological, aviation and marine users. The

averaging period for displayed data values may be selected as either

instantaneous, 2 minute or 10 minute rolling averages.

Pressing any of the grey buttons will cause a menu to be displayed

at the bottom of the screen. The menu shows the current function assigned

to each button. If no button is pressed for 5 seconds, the menu will slowly

scroll off the bottom of the screen.
