Navigating Through the Menu
A small arrow will appear next to the top option. In the illustration below, the arrow is next to the “MODE” option.
To move the cursor from line to line, press the UP or DOWN arrow buttons to navigate through the MENU. To select an option, press the
POWER button one time. Once a category is selected, your options will be displayed. Use the ARROW buttons to scroll through the available
options for that selection. Once you have the desired option on the display, press the POWER button one time to select that option. You will
then move back one level in the MENU system. If you make a selection by mistake, press the POWER button again to select that option a
second time and make your correct selection. Once you are finished making changes, use the ARROW buttons to move to the EXIT options:
“EXIT - SAVE CHANGES” OR “EXIT - DO NOT SAVE”.
Selecting Unit of Measure:
The GC3200 can display thickness measurements in various units. You also have the option of rounding measurements
to the nearest “Glass Thickness Standard” (Refer to GC3200 Glass Standards chart on page 16). To choose the display units appropriate for
your application, follow these steps:
In the MENU, select the “DISPLAY UNITS” option. The sub-menu to the right will be displayed:
First, select the “DIMENSIONS” option by pressing the POWER button. Choose if you want your unit of measure to be
millimeters or inches
.
Use the ARROW keys to toggle between units and press the POWER button to make your selection.
Next, determine whether you want the meter to: 1.) round measurements to the nearest Glass STANDARD, 2.) display the ACTUAL glass
thickness dimensions or 3.) display both STANDARD and ACTUAL. To turn STANDARD rounding on or off, select the “STANDARD” option. If
your dimensions are set to inches, you will have the options: FRACTION, DECIMAL or OFF. If your dimensions are set to millimeters, you will
have the options: ON or OFF. Use the ARROW button to find your desired setting and press the POWER button to select it. PLEASE NOTE, if
the STANDARD option is selected in inches, the glass thickness designations will always be shown in fractions. If decimal inches are chosen,
only the air space thickness and overall IG unit thickness will be shown in decimal inches. The glass thickness will always be shown in
fractions of an inch when STANDARD is turned on.
Next, choose your ACTUAL setting. If this setting is activated, your meter will display actual glass thickness dimensions without rounding. If
your dimensions are set to inches, you will have the options: FRACTION, DECIMAL or OFF. If your dimensions are set to millimeters, you will
have the options: ON or OFF. Use the ARROW buttons to find your desired setting and press the POWER button to select it.
NOTE: STANDARD and ACTUAL cannot both be set to OFF. If they are both activated, the measurements will alternate on the screen after a
measurement has been taken. For an illustration of this feature, see the “Measurement Examples” section.
When you exit the Display Units menu, the meter will show an example of what the measurement results screen will look like according to your
selections. This will help you determine whether you chose the correct options. Press the POWER button to exit the example display.
Results Screen Display Speed:
Measurement results are displayed across multiple screens. These screens can be controlled two different ways. If you take no action, the
screens will automatically advance from one to the next. If you do not want to wait for the screen to advance, you can use the ARROW keys to
advance or go back to a previous screen. If you let the meter advance the screens for you, the speed at which these screens advance can be
set in the MENU system. Select DISPLAY SPEED in the MENU. You can independently select the number of seconds you want the
THICKNESS measurement screens to display as well as the LOW-E results screen. Use the ARROW keys to change the time, and then press
the POWER button to confirm the selection. Exit when complete to go back to the main MENU. PLEASE NOTE: If you would prefer that the
meter only advances to the next result screen when you push the ARROW key, then change the Result Screen times to the maximum value of
60 seconds for both the THICKNESS and LOW E screens. This will maximize the time each screen is displayed, allowing you to advance the
screens via the ARROW buttons when ready (as long as you do so before 60 seconds).
