entered. The FTU will then prompt with “Max Value?”. The maximum desired value for the scaling should then be entered. The FTU will now only display values from the minimum to maximum for the selected memory loca- tion/s.

After responding to the above prompts the FTU will prompt

“Using #####”

This is a feature that enables the FTU to custom format the decimal struc- ture and units for the displayed value.

EXAMPLE:

By typing the following to the USING prompt

“##.# Celsius”

The FTU will display the memory value in the format

“34.4 Celsius”

If the screen is cleared beforehand, (SHIFT-HOME), this will be the only information displayed by the FTU.

For further information on “PRINT USING” see the Canon X-07 “Basic Reference Manual” page 92.

7.4 MEMORY ADDRESSING

There are three ways to address memory within the logger using FTU- PROM:

Block number

Location from start of current Block

Absolute address

7.5 CURSOR KEYPAD

Using the direction keys, the display may be shifted forward and backward by one value, or by a given screen step. The screen step (STEPSIZE) is usually set to one whole screen, calculated considering the size and mode that is in effect.

The default STEPSIZE can be set by pressing “S”. The FTU will then respond “Step size?” . The entered number will be the resultant number of
