Change Parameter Values
Each display and setup screen contains parameters whose values you can change.
(Display screens also contain calculated or measured data.) Some parameters are located
below the line on the bottom of the display screens and other parameters are located
above the line, such as the wavelength and power units. Refer to Figures 2-2 through 2-4
for graphic illustrations of the parameters on each display screen.
To change a parameter value or status, press select to "highlight" the parameter field,
then press

. The parameter's value or status changes.
NOTE
If the message "Remote Lockout" is displayed on the screen when you attempt
to change a parameter value, remote communications is enabled (On). When
enabled, you can use the front panel controls to review all parameter values, but
you cannot change any parameters except the status of the remote feature to
off.
Save Parameter Values
You may want to save parameter values that are appropriate for your application, so that
each time you power up the instrument, this information is automatically selected. Or, if
you have several instruments, you may want to set them all up the same way.
The only parameter for which you cannot save the current value is the gain. On power
up, the gain is set to the default status of "Auto".
To save parameter values, display the Configuration screen, press select to "highlight"
the Save All field, then press either
