INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION
TYPES OF CONTROLS
All calorimeter configurations and operations are
handled by a menu-driven system operated from the
bright touch screen display. The settings and controls
are organized into nine main sections or pages which
comprise the MAIN MENU.
Note:
Keys with a double box in the upper left hand corner lead
to sub-menus.
MENU KEYS
The controls that change the data field information in
the menus will be one of the following:
Toggles.1. These data fields contain ON/OFF or
YES/NO choices. Simply touching the key on the
screen toggles the choice to the other option. The
current setting is displayed in the lower right corner
of the key.
Option Selection.2. These data fields contain a list
of options. Touching the key on the screen steps
the user through the available choices. The current
setting is displayed in the lower right corner of the
key.
Value Entry Fields.3. These data fields are used to
enter data into the calorimeter. Touching the key
on the screen brings up a sub menu with a key pad
or similar screen for entering the required value.
Some keys lead to multiple choices. Always clear
the current value before entering a new value. Once
entered the screen will revert to the previous menu
and the new value will be displayed in the lower
right corner of the key.
Data Displays.4. Most of these keys display values
that have been calculated by the calorimeter and are
informational only. Certain ones can be overridden
by the user entering a desired value through a sub-
menu. The value is displayed in the lower right
corner of the key.
Note:
Some keys will respond with an opportunity for the user
to confirm the specified action to minimize accidental
disruptions to the program and/or stored data.

right column of the primary displays. These keys are
unavailable when they are gray instead of white.

when the main menu is displayed. This key is used

ing off the power.
