7.6 Changing the units
Per measuring channel the default units for the measuring range in question
can be replaced with any two-character units; (see also Manual, Section 6.3.5).
All upper-case and lower-case letters, special characters °, °,
Ω
, %, [, ], *, -, =,
~, and space (_) can be used. The units are shown as two 16-segment cha-
racters after the measured value or programming value.
To
modify the unit
s go to the menu (see Section 6.2) in the MEASURED VA-
LUE function and press the keys
PROG

7.7 Selecting the measuring range
If you want to program the connector yourself or if you often need to change the
measuring range, then please note that the locking mode for the connector
should be cleared (see Section 7.2) and that for some transducers a special
connector is required (e.g. thermo, shunt, divider, etc., see table).
To modify the measuring range you must first set the measuring point (see
Section 7.1). To select the measuring range press the Function key and select
the RANGE function ´
R
´.
Ist If the desired measuring point has not yet been activated, then in
the RANGE function ´
R
´ press and hold down the
M
▲
key. In this
way you can select all channels (including unprogrammed ones).
