you have a four-channel deck sensor, then pair the channels at the same wavelength. In
selecting these channel numbers, DO NOT simply use channel numbers from the examples in
this manual!
Line 16 states the type of plotter.
Line 17 contains the plotter initialization string that is used by the operating system (DOS) to
initialize the serial port for communications. You may set the baud rate and port address by
changing this. See your DOS manual "MODE" section for a discussion of what this means. By
using "FILE:M24-PROF.PLT" instead of that shown, the plotter output will be written to the file
"PLOTFILE.PLT".
Line 18 contains the character to be used as the delimiter in generating ASCII extracted data
files. Normally this is a comma.

MENU 3: ADDITIONAL SETUP OPTIONS
Figure 5.3 presents the next menu seen in M24SETUP. Line 1 contains the name of the plot
description file to be used in normal graphics displays in M24-PROF and M24-READ. This
selection can be overridden in each of these programs.

Line 2 will display a numerical list of the channels displayed in "report format" in M24-PROF and
M24-READ printed reports. To edit this list, you will need the numbers associated with the
channels in the Channel Selection menus of these programs.
Lines 3 to 6 can be used to predefine up to 4 ratios to be displayed.
Line 7 will define the transmissometer path length for calculation of "K" if a transmissometer is
connected.
Line 8 will allow definition of the background color in EGA and VGA graphics modes. This,
normally, is set to 8 (gray) but can be set to 0 (black) or any other number.
