12. Programming using the programming menus
12.5.3 Baud rate, Data format
The baud rate for all interface modules is programmed on leaving the factory 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, enter the values 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 baud or
57.6, 115.2 kbaud (paying attention not to exceed the maximum baud rate for
the interface module). The baud rate setting is saved in the EEPROM on the in -
terface module and thus applies when used with any other ALMEMO device.
Function
Baud rate
:
Baud rate: 9600 baud
Data format:
(settings cannot be changed) 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity
12.5.4 Language
The user can choose between German / English / French as the interface lan-
guage in which the functions are labeled in the display; (other languages are
also available as options). The soft-keys are international; these cannot be
changed. If German is not set as the language outputs via the interface will ap-
pear in English. To select the language go to the
Language
function (see 10.5)
:
Language: German
12.5.5 Backlighting and contrast
The backlighting for the display can be enabled in the selection menus by
pressing
<* ON>;
it can be disabled or set to any one of three levels in device
configuration with the
Backlighting
function; (please note : backlighting level 3
more than doubles the power consumption). If backlighting is enabled but no
mains adapter is connected, the backlighting will go out again automatically af-
ter a settable backlighting duration starting as soon as the current key operation
has been completed (pause) and will go on again as soon as any key is
pressed. The
Contrast
function can be used to set the contrast of the display
to any one of 10 levels.
Switch backlighting on at level 1 to 3
Backlighting level: 2
Switch backlighting off (level 0)
Backlighting level: 0
Enter backlighting duration 20 s to 10 min
Backlighting duration: 20 s
If
backlighting is switched on
,
the status bar will display the symbol:
*
Backlighting on
If backlighting is switched off temporarily, the :
*
Pause
To switch backlighting on again
without
the function press :
<ESC>
Set the contrast (10 to 100 %) (see 10.5)
Contrast: 50 %
12.5.6 Atmospheric pressure
The atmospheric pressure can be set to compensate certain sensors (see
11.2.6). If atmospheric pressure is measured it will appear in this function.
