Upon pressing the button, a new window
will cover the old and show a screen that
resembles what is show in Figure 12. The
first tab is called ‘information’ and primarily

The bottom row all contain power options:
‘power off’ turns the instrument off,
‘restart instrument’ turns the instrument
off but immediately back on again, and
‘restart application’ closes the software
application and re-launches it once more.

Engineering. This is done by pressing down on the branding logo for approximately
3 seconds, or until you see the message ‘engineering activated’ as shown in Figure 13.
