The ARES-G2 Status Touch Screen

The

Status

tab (shown in the figure below) displays the instrument status regarding air pressure, tempera-

ture sensors, system status, and network communication status. It also provides easy access to system
information and diagnostics that may be used to troubleshoot your instrument.

Figure 5

ARES-G2 Status touch screen.

The primary uses of this screen are to provide an overview of all the instrument components and to serve
as a troubleshooting tool.
