In this menu the active myograph menu is marked by bold letters. To change to one of the other systems press
SELECT and the text line will turn blue and then press ENTER. The text line will not be in bold letters indication that
this systems menu structure is selected. Turn off the power of the system and turn it ON again. Now the system will
load the menu’s of the select myograph system into the interface and is now ready for use. It is important to make a
new weight calibration and make sure that the Measurement Range is correct. If the device enabler is not used the
then also check the Force Rec Output values.
