16. DEVICE CONFIGURATION
In the
Device configuration
menu certain basic
settings can be made, e.g. language and illumi-
nation. The device designation can be used as
print header in log printouts. The baud rate can
be adapted for operation with external devices.
16.1 Language
The user can choose between German / Eng-
lish / French as the language for function labeling and printouts; (other lan-
guages are available on request). The softkeys are international; these cannot
be changed.
To select desired language press
<SET>
in the function.
Language: English
16.2 Illumination and contrast
Display illumination can be enabled / disabled in all menus by pressing
<* ON>
or in the function ´Device configuration´ -
Illumination
; (please note that en-
abling will double current consumption). If illumination is enabled but no mains
adapter is connected, it will switch off again automatically as soon as a settable
illumination duration expires; this starts with each pause in key operation and
restarts as soon as any key is pressed. The display contrast can be set in the
Contrast
function to any one of 10 levels.
To enable illumination press
<* ON>
or in the
Illumination
function
Illumination Ø
To set the illumination duration (20 s to 10 min) press

16.3 Interface, baud rate, data format
Via the serial interface you can output measured data online or saved mea-
sured values to a printer or computer. For connecting to the various interfaces
we have a series of data cables available. The data cables should be plugged
in at socket A1 (2); in ´Device configuration´ the programmed baud rate then
appears.
On leaving our factory the baud rate for all interface modules is programmed to
9600 baud. In order to avoid unnecessary problems when networking several
devices together the baud rate should not be altered; rather the computer or
printer should be set to match. If this is for some reason not possible you can,
in the
Baud rate
function, choose from the values 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 baud
