The G-824 can power up into two different modes. The default mode powers up and
enters the main configuration menu as follows:
File (Safe default values# (Not saved)

D Display all settings E Erase FLASH F Format of output
G Gate control I Input voltages L Load from FLASH
M Mode of operation N Next (multi systems) O Other devices
P Password R Run magnetometer S Save parameters
T Triggering
From this menu you must choose “R” and press ENTER to start the magnetometer serial
output stream. The other power up mode goes directly into outputting data, skipping the
main configuration menu. To change between these modes, from the main configuration
menu chose “M” and press ENTER. You will see the following submenu listed below.
[Note: If the G-824 is configured to start up outputting data and skipping the
configuration menu then type a continuous stream of upper case Q’s until the main menu
Type Y again to continue
