Main Panel Displays

Click the Display button to change the display in the

Main Panel.  Clicking the Display

button multiple times lets you cycle through the four main panel displays.  When the
analyzer is launched, it defaults to the

Numeric Display.  The four displays within the display

function are:

Numeric

Alarm Status

Spectrum

TimeChart

This section describes the displays.

Numeric Display

The

Numeric Display is the default display.  It appears when the analyzer is first turned on

or re-initialized.

Figure 28 shows an example of the

Numeric Display screen for the GLA351-N2OCM.  It

displays the numeric readout of the last measurements of gas at a specific concentration.
Concentrations vary depending on the type of analyzer.
