GR-100 User's Manual Revision 1.2
4.0 Monitor 100U PC software
You can change some of the settings to suit your preference or to adapt the instrument to unusual
conditions at the site of the measurement. These settings are called User Settings and they can be saved
by clicking the Save User Settings button to create a user specific profile. Both the default and user
settings are stored in the unit’s memory. The user settings can also be recalled to the screen by clicking
the Display User Settings button. The User Settings can be subsequently modified and saved again.
However, the new settings overwrite the previous User Settings. Only one set of User Settings are
allowed to be stored in the unit. When the User Settings are saved, the unit retains them until they are
changed again from the PC. The saved User Settings will be activated every time the unit is turned ON.
The default settings are displayed in black. Any change made to the default parameters causes the
settings to change to red color to alert you that parameters have been changed. Similarly, the settings
color changes to red when the user settings are changed. To revert back to the default settings, you
must recall the default settings to the screen first and then save them as the User Settings. The unit
always works with the settings stored in the user settings location in the memory.
The User Settings frame in the Setting screen contains seven sub-frames with grouped controls for:
Vibrator, Buzzer, LCD, Dose Units, Discriminator, Alarm Threshold, and Info.
4.2.1 Vibrator
The ON/OFF button in the Vibrator frame allows you to enable or disable the vibrator action when an
alarm occurs. Clicking on the button toggles between ON and OFF setting. While the vibrator action
increases the electrical current consumption by a factor of ten when it is running, it has no effect on the
battery life in the absence of alarms.
4.2.2 Buzzer
The ON/OFF button in the Buzzer frame allows you to enable or disable the audio beeper indicating an
alarm condition. Clicking on the button toggles between ON and OFF setting. This setting also affects the
audio beeper action in the Search mode and the output to the earphone. The Beep ON/OFF button in
the Buzzer frame enables or disables an audio beep that is used to confirm action of the main push
button on the unit. The beep function is useful to inform the operator that his mode selection has been
successfully executed.
4.2.3 LCD
The Backlite ON/OFF button in the LCD frame enables or disables the screen backlighting. The backlight
is used to improve the display readability in poor lighting conditions. The display backlight increases
current consumption by ten times. The battery life is significantly shortened when the backlight is
activated. You should exercise caution when activating the backlight.
The display contrast changes with the ambient temperature at the measurement site. The unit
automatically adjusts contrast to maintain the best viewing conditions. For this purpose, the unit
monitors the outside temperature and calculates the required correction for the contrast setting. The
temperature is displayed in the bottom field of the LCD frame. The coarse contrast setting is set at the
factory and cannot be changed by the user. However, you can make minor adjustments by changing the
setting in the Contrast Fine window. The Contrast Fine setting range is from 0 to 64. Zero corresponds
to blank screen and 64 to completely black screen. The average setting is 32.
