Introduction
The Tobias
IQ
is a portable, computing reflection densitometer. Density
readings are displayed on a large, easy-to-read LCD screen, which
displays a prompt line and a legend controlled by soft keys. There are
three available menus, which are selected by the [MENU] key. Each menu
offers several measurement functions operated by the three soft keys. The
[MENU] key is used to display the menu choices at any time (see list
below). The
IQ
turns off automatically after 90 seconds to conserve the
battery. Press [MENU] to restore the last display. In this manual the
brackets [ ], represent the menu key and soft keys; words in quotes stand
for on-screen messages, i.e. "REF".
