After turning the gauge on, you can set several parameters,
including:
•
Measurement Count Time
• Background Count Time
•
Measurement Units

These parameters do not usually change once they are set.
Additionally, the gauge offers a
Status
function that enables you
to view selected information about the current gauge status and
setup. To access this function, press the
〈
