9 Advanced functions / Memory
Capture / Timer:
The capture function is used to obtain a
single reading and keep it displayed. This is useful when the
unit may not be visible while grade information needs to be
obtained.
When METOR is in the laser beam and power is on, momentarily
press the power/capture switch. The current elevation reading will
be captured. A flashing display will confirm the reading has been
captured. Press any key to return to normal operation.
When out of the laser beam and power is on, momentarily press the
power/capture key. A short intermittent beep and 'WAIT' displayed
on the LCD confirms the timer mode. The beeper will be switched to
low volume if it was turned off. Move the receiver in-beam. After five
seconds a rapid chirp from the beeper and a blinking display
confirms successful capture. Press any key to return to normal
operation.
Memory:
Memory key allows storing and displaying stored
measurements.
When the memory key is pressed while a measurement is
displayed (while in beam or with a captured measurement), the slot
number will blink below the measurement value. The slot number
can be scrolled with the arrow keys (accuracy and volume keys).
The measurement is stored to the selected slot by pressing the
memory key a second time.
CAUTION:
Any existing measurement
in this slot will be overwritten. Power key cancels storing procedure.
When the memory key is pressed while no measurement is
displayed, the display shows the contents of the memory (stored
measurement and slot number). Pressing the memory key for two
seconds deletes the current slot ('DEL' is displayed).
When the memory key is pressed for two seconds outside memory
display, METOR enters the memory menu (refer to page 17).
