menus and functions).

Function Functions are accessed using the detector’s Main Menu
and are the software routines that control everything
the detector does. Most have parameters that can be
set by you, the user.
Global parameter Parameter you set infrequently and which affect how
data is shown in the display panel. Global parameters
include the language shown in the Main Menu, the
preferred units of measure (meters/feet) used by the
detector, and whether Help Text is shown in the Main
Menu.
Go button The green button on the detector’s control panel.

Help Text The top part of the Main Menu that shows a brief
description of the function you are currently using.
