The meter then starts to display measured parameters.
To enter the Keypad Program , press the [Escape] key, followed by the [Enter] key, and the [Escape] key again. Each
successive key must be entered within 10 seconds of the prior key.
As a guide in following the programming instructions in this chapter, the relevant portions of the Model XMT868i
menu map have been reproduced in Figure 14 on page 19 and Figure 15 on page 20 . Proceed to the following sections
to enter data in the Channel or GLOBL menus.
IMPORTANT: If the keypad has not been pressed for 10 minutes, the XMT868i exits the Keypad Program and returns to
displaying measurements. The meter retains any configuration changes that were confirmed with the
[Enter] key, and restarts as if the operator had completed the programming cycle.
2.3 Entering Data in the Global Menu
To begin programming your meter, you must select the system units from the GLOBL menu as discussed below. Refer
to Figure 14 on page 19 and remember to record all programming data in Appendix B, Data Records .
Note: Refer to the Programming Manual for information on the other submenus in the GLOBL menu.
2.3.1 Entering Global System Data
The GLOBL-SYSTM submenu is used to enter several general system parameters (e.g., English or metric units). For
units with 2 channels, this menu is also used to compute parameters such as the sum, difference or average of the
channel 1 and channel 2 signals. When calculating the SUM , DIF or AVE readouts, data from the GLOBL-SYSTM
submenu is used. Any conflicting data entered in the Channel Systm submenu is overridden.
1. In the Keypad Program , scroll to PROG and press [Enter]
.
2. In the PROG menu, scroll to GLOBL and press [Enter] .
3. In the Global PROGRAM menu, scroll to SYSTM and press [Enter] .
4. The first prompt asks for a Meter Message. Enter a numeric or text message (up to 16 characters) and press
[Enter] .
5. Scroll to the desired System Units selection (either metric or English) and press [Enter]
.
The XMT868i will display
all parameters and measurements in the designated units.
• For a single-channel XMT868i, the program returns to the Global PROGRAM menu. Scroll to CH1 or CH2 to enter
the Channel menu discussed on page 8.
