Chapter 2 - The dataPAC
Setting Up Instrument Options
The Instrument Options windows allow you to set up basic functions of the dataPAC. You
can save a group of settings as a named setup so that a user can load it for later use.
Speaker Enable
This option enables the dataPAC speaker so that it beeps each time you press a key.
Highlight this option, and then press <SELECT> to place an X in the checkbox to activate
the speaker. To disable the speaker, press <SELECT> again. Note that the light at the top of
the instrument between the DEC and SKIP keys flashes with each keystroke regardless of
whether this option is selected.
System Units
This option selects the units of measure. Highlight this option. Press <SELECT> to open a
pop-up menu with three choices: English (the default), Metric, or Decibel. Highlight your
choice, and then press <SELECT>.
Frequency Units
This option selects the units of measure for frequency. Highlight this option. Press
<SELECT> to open a pop-up menu showing two options: CPM (cycles per minute) and Hz
(Hertz, cycles per second). Highlight your choice, and then press <SELECT>.
Speed Units
This option selects the units of measure for machine speed. Highlight this option. Press
<SELECT> to open a pop-up menu showing two options: RPM (revolutions per minute)
and RPS (revolutions per second). Highlight your choice, and then press <SELECT>.
Backlight Time-Out (Minutes)
This option specifies the number of minutes the dataPAC remains idle before it turns off the
backlight to conserve battery power. The value indicates the number of minutes after the last
keystroke to the time the backlight turns off. Highlight this option. Press <SELECT> to
open a pop-up menu with these choices: 1, 2 (default setting), 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, or 200
(default setting) minutes. Highlight your choice, and then press <SELECT>.
