4.4 ENTRY OF ALPHANUMERIC DATA
The recorder uses a Scroll-and-Select method of alphanumeric data entry. When a word or number entry is
required on a configuration display, a cursor will appear at the left end of the second line. The side arrow is used
to move the cursor. The up and down arrow keys are used to scroll through a library of numbers (for entry of purely
numeric alues) or a library of numbers, letters and characters (to enter a tag name or printed message).
Numbers entered with spaces between will “pack” (i.e. slide to the right) on entry. For example, a number entered
as:
Range High
15 0 ˚F
Range High
150 ˚F
When scrolling through the listing, the speed of the scroll will increase after the first six characters and again after
the next six characters. Refer to the following Character Library to determine whether to scroll Up or Down to the
next desired character.

4.5 GETTING STARTED
The first configuration step is to enter the configuration mode. This is done by pressing the page key while the
recorder is on any display showing a measured value. If unsure of the type of the current display, press CLEAR
(C) several times until the display format stops changing. Then press the Page key.
4.6 PASSWORD
In order to access the Main Menu and change the recorder configuration it is necessary to enter the proper 1, 2 or
3-digit Password.
All instruments have a password of “10” when shipped, requiring only the entry of the digit “1” at the left
end cursor to gain initial access. The up arrow key should be operated twice , followed by ENTER.
The entry of a user-selected Password is described in the Instrument configuration section below. (section 4.9).
Note...After a configuration choice has been made on a display, the operation of the ENTER key confirms the
choice only for that display. It is usually necessary to press CLEAR one or more times and return to the Main
Menu before the choice becomes effective.
