Press ↓ to complete the entry. The number will be displayed in the usual scientific
notation, 4.567E4.
Saving Your Entries
Press the EXIT SETUP key at any time while you are using the menus to save your entries
and to return to the measurement display.
If no entries are made for five minutes, the display times out. Any entries or changes you
have made are saved and used by the Accu-Wave software, and the display returns to the
measurement display.
Setup Menus
The setup menus provide a step-by-step procedure for entering the data required to operate
the gauge. The dynamic menu system controls which menu items are displayed; only menu
selections pertinent to your application are presented. Read the HELP screens provided at
appropriate points within the menus.
In each menu item, the data value which can be entered or changed will be flashing. Enter
the requested parameters in each applicable menu item as you come to it, otherwise related
menu items that should appear later will not be displayed. For instance, to set up an alarm,
you must enter a “set point” value when that menu item appears in order to activate the
rest of the “Alarm Setup” menu. Appendix B shows a flowchart of the main menus.
Note: The appearance of the menu items as described in this manual will often
vary slightly from the actual menu item displayed on your gauge. The
appearance of many menu items (words and numbers) varies dynamically
with context and will depend on the parameter values and selections you
enter during setup.
The menu structure has two layers of menu items, the user layer (or
default layer ) which is adequate for most applications, and the service
layer which provides a number of additional, special purpose menu items.
These additional tools (service only items) can be enabled using the
“Special functions” menu as described in Chapter 8, see page 8-19.
When you are using the setup menus, if no entries are made for five minutes, the display
times out and returns to the measurement display. Any changes or entries you have made
are saved and used by the Accu-Wave software. To continue with the setup procedure, use
the arrow keys to return to your previous place in the menus.
Advanced Methods
Direct entry and programmable keys are provided primarily for diagnostics and service
operations.
Note: Most menu items display a slightly different “message” when accessed by
direct entry than the message shown in the setup menus. Direct entry
