Figure 2: CTF878 Screen in Operate Mode
The top line of the screen is the status bar, which normally displays the time and date. However, when you press
[MENU]
(the menu key), the
menu bar
replaces the status line.
The middle of the screen is the work area, which displays the measured parameters, numeric measurements, and
both bar and line graphs. When you enter a selection on the menu bar, this area displays menu prompts. A line at the
bottom of the area also displays error code messages, which are described in more detail in the
Service Manual.
The system tray displays icons that indicate meter operations not otherwise shown. Table 1 below lists the icons and
their meanings.
The bottom of the screen displays the three function key options: F1, F2 and F3. These keys have different functions,
depending on the task being performed. The initial, factory setup, configuration for these keys is as follows:
• F1 = Transducer
• F2 = Diagnostics
• F3 = Save Now
