7.0    DISPLAY PANEL MODES

 

 

 

7.1    Introduction

 

 

The LCD display panel has two basic modes of operation:

 

 

• 

Measure Mode

 

 

• 

Menu Mode

 

 

When the thermometer is switched on, an introduction screen is displayed. 
This screen times-out automatically and is replaced by the 

Measure Mode 

display.

 

 

To access the 

Menu Mode 

from the  Measure  Mode,   press the 

 

(Enter/

 

select) key on the keypad.

 

 

 

7.2    Measure Mode

 

 

When  the  unit  is  in  

Measure  Mode

,  the  display  indicates  the  

Peak

,

 

Continuous

Average

, and 

Valley 

temperature values simultaneously.

 

 

Scroll  using  the  

  

and  

  

keys  to  select  and  highlight  the  required 

measurement type.  This measurement type is then displayed in the viewfinder.

 

 

On the side LCD display panel, the selected measurement type is displayed 
larger and bolder than the three non-selected measurement types.  Note that 
the thermometer measures in all four measurement types continuously.
