Configuration as a Timer
The BA578E is configured via the four front panel
push buttons.
All the configuration functions are
contained in an easy to use intuitive menu that is
shown diagrammatically in Fig 10.
Each menu function is summarised in section 5.5.2
of this manual and each summary includes a
reference to more detailed information.
All new BA578E instruments are supplied configured
as requested at the time of ordering. If configuration
is not requested, the BA578E will be supplied with
default Timer configuration as shown below, but the
instrument can easily be re-configured on-site.
