 MAIN MENU DESCRIPTION

 

 

7.4.1.

 

 ”Device information” menu

 

 

This menu contains information about the unit and cannot be edited:

”Version”

version of unit firmware

,

”Serial no”

unit serial number

,

”Memory”

unit's memory size

,

”Used”

size of used memory

,

”Time left”

time remaining until memory will be filled with recorded values, established 

on the basis of the currently set recording period and the number of recorded 

channels.  In the case  of controlling  the recording  process  using  the digital 

input, the value shown relates to the time, during which the voltage level on the 

digital   input   allows   the   recording   of   measurements.   If   no   measurement 
channels are active the “

Logging disabled

” message is displayed.

Once   the   memory   is   filled   with   recorded   measurement   results,   the 

Data overwriting

” or “

Logging stopped

” message is displayed  (depending 

on the set value of the "

Write

" parameter in the "

Logging setup

" menu).

 

The calculated "

Time left

" time is an  

approximated

  value. Download the recorded 

data to your PC before this time expires. The data downloaded to a PC remain in the 
unit's memory, but is not taken into consideration when the "

Time left

" parameter is 

established and can be deleted without warning at any moment.

 ”Display options” menu

 

 

This menu contains options that enable the displaying parameters of the LCD to be 

changed:

”Backlight”

- this option allows one to define when the LCD backlight is to be switched on.

The following possibilities are available:

”permanent”

- backlight always On,

”temporary”

- backlight is turned on when any key on the unit is pressed and

switches Off after 1 minute since the last activation of the keys,

and   turned   on   for   approximately   10   seconds   when   the   unit   is 

switched on.

”Brightness”

-  brightness of display backlight as a percentage

”Contrast”

-  contrast of the display as a percentage
