From the main screen, select ‘Measure’ and then the right 

arrow button. This will initiate a measurement in either mode. 
The F-940 will run either continuously (continuous mode) or 
until the minimum stable sample volume has been reached 
(trigger mode). Press the Left arrow button to return to the 
measurement screen.  

Passcode Protection 

Certain menu systems on the F-940 are protected by a passcode 
setting. These menu systems include Parameters, Set Zero, 
Calibration, and Factory Setup. The default code for entry is 

‘1111’. The passcode only needs to be entered once for each 

reboot of the device. If the device is powered off, the passcode 
will need to be entered again for entry into the menu systems 
described above.  

To set the passcode to a four-digit code other than the default 
setting, please follow the steps below.
