GLOBAL SETUP VIEW (GSV) GLOBAL SETUP VIEW (GSV)
How to get there — In TOV, if all slots are inactive, depressing the STOP button will transfer to
GSV.
How to exit — In GSV, pressing the STOP button once or twice will cancel changes, quit the view
and return to TOV.

The MC3000 has numerous explicit options and their respective parameters which the user can
check or control. The more general settings are accessible in the global setup view (GSV). They
affect the operation of the entire device, not only of a single slot or program. Changes made to the
options are not saved until the view is quitted by depressing the ENTER button (=Save).
The controls in GSV are as follows:
• Pressing the UP or DOWN button navigates through the items, or lets the user make a selection.
• Clicking the ENTER button (=Enter) enters an option, confirms a selection, or navigates through
all items from top to bottom.
• Depressing the ENTER button (=Save) saves all changes and then transfers to TOV.
• Pressing the STOP button (=Cancel, Quit) cancels changes and ultimately may transfer to TOV,
thereby restoring the original SETUP.
• In GSV, the SNB's are not responsive.
The items are in alphabetic order:
Beep Tone
Lets the user turn off the annoying beep tone at system events, e.g. when clicking buttons. Or
adjust its pitch for less irritation. Very useful.
Calibration Reset
Lets the user perform a reset of the device calibration back to production conditions. Clears user-
entered calibration data, typically 4 voltage measurements and 4 current measurements in total,
and restores the original calibration which was delivered ex factory. All user-entered calibration
data will be lost by overwriting. This reset is independent from the Factory Reset and affects
calibration data only.
Cooling Fan
Lets the user control the behaviour of the internal cooling fan. For example, "40°C" means that the
fan will remain off under 40°C SysTemp, then turn on at full speed to help the cooling and
eventually turn off at 35°C. "Auto" uses a super clever algorithm to calculate the optimal threshold
temperature at your personal environmental setup. When temperature continues to increase from
that start point on, rotational fan speed increases too.
Display
Lets the user control the behaviour of the LCD background lighting. For example, "1min" means
that the backlight will turn off after 1 minute of user inactivity, i.e. no pressing of buttons within that
period of time.
Factory Reset
Lets the user clear memory and perform a soft reset back to original settings of the present
firmware version. In particular all changes made in programs and GSV will be lost. This reset is
independent from Calibration Reset and does not affect calibration data. Once a firmware update
is applied, the original ex-factory firmware version will be lost, so be prepared to adopt the newer
firmware version for good.
FW Version
Shows the firmware version. A factory reset may be required to finalize the firmware update
procedure and show the updated firmware version.
Hide NiCd / Hide NiZn / ...
Lets the user hide less common battery types as possible parameters for the BATT TYPE option
in SPV. Hiding them allows for faster selection of the more common battery types LiIon and NiMH
when programming slots.
HW Version
Shows the hardware version.

Lets the user set the time period for displaying information snippets in the info message view
(IMV). IMV contains differentiated information about the usage of program numbers in the four
slots. TOV is preceded by a short display of IMV when, for example, SOV or SPV gets transferred
back to TOV. Beginners may find it helpful to increase the time, the default is 2 seconds. Note that
all interaction with the device is blocked during that time.
