2.6.4.9  Set Contrast

Allows adjustment of contrast on the LCD display. Use Up arrow to increase contrast or 
Down arrow to decrease. When the instrument is powered up it returns to the last set con-
trast, not some nominal level.

 

 

 

Figure 2-31: Display Contrast Adjustment

2.6.4.10 LCD Backlight

Allows the backlight on the LCD display to be turned 

ON

 or 

OFF

.  Turning the backlight off 

when it is not needed or if the display is not in use.  Keeping the backlight off prolongs the 
life of the display.

2.7   

Input/Output Interface

2.7.1 

I/O Interface

The 2408 instrument comes standard with an I/O interface port available through a con-
nector (36 pin) on the rear panel of the instrument. This is generally used for interfacing to 
an automatic component handler. Refer to Table 2-3 for signal names, pin numbers and 
functions as necessary for cable connections.
