Pump Control

Determines what control method the test will be run, depending on the 

desired flow rate (see page 15-17 for details).

Temperature

Allows user to change between English and Metric temperature unit 

of measure.

Flow

Allows user to change units of measure for water flow rates  

(m/s, cm/s, in/s, or ft/s).

Sample Push

User can change units of measure for sample push distance  

(in, mm, or cm).

Interval

Time set for sample push intervals. This is only applicable when Test 

Mode is set to STEP.

Test Limit

Number of tests that are stored in active memory for review. Up to 50 

tests can be stored in the active memory for review under Previous Tests.
