Switching the displays

Switch the channel between the main screen and the sub screen.
In the measurement mode, pressing the 

 keys can switch the channels between the

main screen and the sub screen.
When performing calibration or setting, switch the display to show the desired channel
(measurement parameter) on the main screen.
This function is available for LAQUAact-PH130.

Changing the measurement parameter

This instrument measures multiple parameters. For measurement, an electrode
corresponding to the measurement parameter is required. In the measurement mode,
the measurement parameter can be changed by pressing the 

 key.

This operation is available for the channel that is shown on the main screen.
