Chapter 2: General Operation
This chapter discusses the general operation of the FP40 analyzer. You will learn how to navigate
through the different screens, use the General Setup Menu, and change the function keys to suit
your purposes. Other general operational topics will also be discussed such as source types, battery
pills, printers, and other topics.
2.1 Screen Navigation
You move through the different screens of the FP40 by using the function keys. The function keys
are the top row of buttons of the FP40 front panel labeled F1 through F9. Each button is labeled on
the display screen just above the function keys.
For example, in most screens, F1 is labeled “MENU.” This means that you get to the Menu by press-
ing F1.
Hint: Whenever a function key is labeled with large letters, it is a navigational key. That is, pressing
it will take you to a different screen.
2.2 General Setup Menu
In the General Setup Menu, you can change most of the settings on the FP40. To enter the General
Setup Menu, press F1 from almost any screen.
