Sanyo 550 instruction manual Getting started, Menu system

2.Getting started

This section describes the basics of using the controller and the meaning of the various items of information presented on the screen.

2.1. The menu system

FORMAT uses a menu system to allow the operator to select what function the controller should perform. This approach will be familiar to users with experience of using personal computers.

When the chamber is first switched on, FORMAT goes through its startup sequence (which lasts approximately 1 minute) and then displays the initial Main Menu screen:

The Main Menu displays a list of options which are available to you, one of which is highlighted (Steady State in Figure 1). By using the "up" and "down" arrow keys, the "highlight bar" can be moved through the menu options.

To select a menu option, move the highlight bar to the option you require, then press the "Enter" key.

Selecting some of the menu options (for example, Alarm Setpoints and Program) causes another sub-menu of options to appear. The highlight bar then appears on the sub-menu. To remove a sub-menu (returning the highlight bar to the parent menu), press the Esc key.
