Options Menu
The Options menu appears when the OPTIONS pushbutton is pressed. The Options menu
provides options regarding several of the operational system settings of the generator, including
the Power Save function and format clear/reload memory management.
The Power Save function of
the 400 series generators
provides several power
saving features. First, it
turns off the LCD backlight
after 30 seconds to conserve
battery power. Second, it
turns off the power to the
instrument after approximately 30 minutes
when pushbutton activity is not detected.
These power saving features can be disabled
by turning the Power Save function “OFF”.
Press the pushbutton beside the Pwr Save
indicator to toggle the Power Save function
on or off.
Note: You can turn the LCD backlight on or
off with the front panel BACKLIGHT
pushbutton.
The Pwr Save function operates differently
when the AC Power Adapter is connected to
the generator. After 30 minutes the generator
remains on, but starts to cycle through its
video patterns.
Pressing the clear formats (Clr Fmts) option
pushbutton results in a second menu asking
for confirmation to clear all formats in
memory. Selecting “Yes” in this menu causes
all video formats in factory default memory
locations to be lost. Any user formats created
with custom generator PC control software in
those locations will be lost. There is no way
to stop or undo this operation. The LCD
window shows “All Formats Cleared” when
the process is completed.
Pressing the pushbutton beside the reload
formats (Reload Fmts) option in the display
restores all factory default formats to their
original memory locations. The LCD displays
“Factory Formats Reloaded” when the
process is completed. Pressing the FORMAT
button displays the FORMATS menu to list
the restored memory contents.
