MicroRAE User’s Guide

8. Modes Of Operation
The MicroRAE has two user modes, selectable through ProRAE Studio II.
8.1. Basic User Mode
In Basic User Mode, some restrictions are applied, including password protection that guards
against entering Programming Mode by
unauthorized personnel.
8.2. Advanced User Mode
In Advanced User Mode, there are no access restrictions (you do not need a password), and the
MicroRAE provides the indications and data you need most for typical monitoring applications.
9. Programming
The menu in Programming Mode is to adjust many of the MicroRAE’s settings, calibrate sensors,
and initiate communication with a computer. It has the following submenus:
•
Calibration
•
Sensor On/Off
•
Clear Datalog
•
Monitor Setup
•
Set Radio (Wireless)
Note:
Some settings are only visible and can only be changed in ProRAE Studio II. This requires
connecting the instrument to a computer running ProRAE Studio II and having administrative
privileges. For a list of which parameters can be set in Programming Mode on the MicroRAE, in
ProRAE Studio II, or both
