4.1 Description 

The MultiCube is designed for use in a wide variety of systems.  A range of 
programmable features allow the unit to be set-up for a specific application.  
Programming is available using the front panel keypad and display while the unit is 
operational. 

4.2  Entering and Exiting Programming Mode 

To enter programming, Press  

I

  and  

V

  together and hold for 5 seconds. 

When all user programmable settings are complete, Press  

I

  and  

V

  together and 

hold for 5 seconds to return to measurement mode.
