The programming menu consists of 6 main menu options, which allow the user to program various
aspects of the analyzer’s recording parameters. Each menu is discussed separately in the following
sections. Section 11 of this instruction manual contains a quick reference guide that shows all menu and
sub-menu options, the available selections, and the factory default settings for each menu option. If the
factory default settings are satisfactory, you can simply access the run menu and begin recording right
away.
