6.3.2 Large Font Display
A special large font pressure display of a single channel is also available to ensure the pressure readings
can be seen at a distance. To enter this mode:
1. While in the standard display mode, press either the
or the
key to select the desired
channel, as indicated by the green LED.
2. Enter the large font display mode by pressing the
Enter
key.
3. To exit the large font display mode, press the
ESC
key or the
Enter
key again.
Figure 6-2 shows a comparison between pressure measurement display in the standard mode and in the
large font mode. When the large font display is selected, one channel is displayed as large font (B1 as
shown in the figure) and the pressure readings for all the detected sensors are displayed in smaller font of
the left side of the LCD.

6.4 System Setup
6.4.1 Overview of 946 System Setup
An overview of the 946 system setup parameters is shown in Figure 6-3 with the default values and the
selection ranges.
The system setup allows settings of parameters such as pressure unit, communication protocol,
communication address, disable/enable set parameter, user calibration, define PID control and MFC ratio
control recipes, and view firmware versions for the controller and modules.
In addition, the logarithmic/linear analog output for individual channels and combined logarithmic analog
output can be scaled by setting the DAC parameters.
