THE DISPLAY & THE MENUS

The display allows menu selections to be viewed and chosen. These choices

instruct the spectrophotometer to perform specific tasks. The menus are viewed

in the display using a general format which is followed from one menu to the

next. Each menu is a list of choices or selections.

There are four lines in the display. The top line in each menu is a title or

pertinent instruction. The top line does not change unless a new menu is

selected. The second line is used in two ways. One way is to display additional

information if the top line is insufficient. Fo r example, test results are displayed

on the second line. The second line is also used to display menu choices. The

third and fourth line are also used for menu choices.

Think of the menu choices as a vertical list in the display which moves up or

down each time an arrow button is pressed. This list or menu is viewed through

a window, the menu choice window, in the display. The menu choice window is

the lower 2 or 3 lines of the display. Pushing the arrow buttons brings another

portion of the menu into menu choice window. This is referred to as scrolling

through the menu.

An asterisk, “*”, will start in the far left position of the top line in the menu

choice window. As the menu is scrolled through, different choices appear next

to the “*”. The “*” in the display corresponds with the ENTER/Q button.

Pushing the ENTER/Q button selects the menu choice which is adjacent to the

“*” in the menu choice window.

As described previously, the

EXIT button allows an exit or escape from the

current menu and a return to the previous menu. This allows a rapid exit from

an inner menu to the

MAIN MENU by repeatedly pushing the EXIT button.

Pushing

OFF at any time will turn the spectrophotometer off .
