User Interface

The 

CELLTRON  MAX

  user  interface  is  a  icon-based  system 

arranged  in  a  series  of  menus.    Menus  may  have  several 

submenus  or  options  to  help  you  set  up  the  analyzer  for 

testing,  automate  portions  of  the  test  process,  and  manage 

test  data.  The  settings  contain  factory  defaults  that  you  can 

overwrite using the keypad.
For more information, refer to the sections in the manual on 

selecting  test  parameters  and  utilities.  The  keys  you  use  to 

enter data depend on the type of selections displayed. There 

are four types of selections you can make.

Menu Icons

A menu icon is a graphical 

representation of a function you can 

select, such as the Battery Test Icon in 

the Main Menu. To select an icon, use 

the ARROW keys to highlight it. (The 

UP/DOWN (



ARROW keys highlight icons vertically. The 

LEFT/RIGHT (

tu

ARROW keys highlight icons horizontally.) 

When an icon is highlighted, the background is illuminated as 

shown in the figure above. To confirm your selection, press 

ENTER or select soft key item.

Option Buttons

Some lists have option buttons before 

each  item.  To  select  an  item,  use  the 

UP (

) or DOWN (

ARROW key to 

move the dot into the button next to 

the item you want and press NEXT to continue or save your 

selection.
Two soft keys are located at the top of the control panel.  Their 

functions will vary depending on what mode the analyzer is 

in at the time.

Alphanumeric Entry

Some selections require you to use the alphanumeric keypad. 

These “user-defined” selections have a dark background when 

selected.
Use  the  ARROW  keys  to  highlight 

the  character  on  the  character  map 

that you want to select and press the 

ENTER key to select it.  The character 

will  appear  on  the  lower  screen.    Repeat  this  process  to 

complete the line. When you've completed the line, highlight 

the NEXT key to save your changes.

Scroll Boxes

Scroll boxes contain selections (usually 

numerical  values)  that  extend  above 

and below the box that contains them. 

To indicate that there are more values, 

the symbol   appears to the right of 

the first visible item on the list. 

Scroll Lists

The  scrolling  lists  contain  items  that 

extend above and below the screen. 
To  select  an  item,  use  the  UP  (

)  or 

DOWN  (

)  ARROW  key  to  highlight 

the  item,  and  press  ENTER  or  the 

appropriate soft key.

Main Menu

The  Main  Menu  contains  the  icons  to  access  the  tester's  six 

sub-menus:  SITE  SETUP,  RETEST,  DMM,  CQSYNC,  UTILITIES 

SETUP, and BATTERY MANAGER.
