Fig. 14 . Set-up menu of the Graph R(t) 

 
 

Notes: 

-

  If the Timer is OFF is not possible to Enable the Graph R(t). 

-

  The time duration of Graph R(t) is equal to the value of Timer. 

-

  The Timer value could be very long (up to 100 minutes), so the Special automatic 

decimation algorithm is use to write the Graph R(t) to the LCD. 

-

  The cursors of the Graph R(t) could be activated with 

 

key 

-

  The cursors of the Graph R(t) could be moved with 

 and 

 keys. 

 

Warning! 

  Refer to Warnings chapter for safety precautions!
