Options Setup

The

Monitoring

menu creates a running chart of real-time measurements (see

measurements in real-time on page 24

). These values can also be saved to the Windows

Clipboard.

The

Configuration

menu lets you see how your system has been configured for your

application. You may use this menu to change the configuration parameters should your
application needs change.

The

Troubleshooting

menu includes a series of tests, allows you to set the clock, and enables

a barometric pressure calibration routine.

Finally, the

Help

menu gives access to the Help file and displays the identification of the

WIN3654 program (version number and copyright date).

Note:

If the PC operating system is Windows Vista®, it may be necessary to download the Winhlp32.exe

file from the Microsoft web site.
