7. The menu system 7.1 What this chapter tells you
Before you can configure and operate the 795x, you should have some understanding of how the menu system
works. The menus are simple and intuitive, so they should present no problems to the average user.
This chapter gives you a general tour, showing how to navigate the menu system to find application parameter
screens and other types of screen such as for entering passwords.
Note:
The menus and parameters will differ between software versions, and can differ between releases of
a software version. Chapter 12 features tables showing the routinely used (operator) parts of the
menu system used in your software.
7.2 What the menu system does
The menu system lets you:
• Configure the 795x.
• Operate it.
• View data and settings stored in the 795x.
• Edit data stored in the 795x.
7.3 How the menu system works
When you power-on the 795x, the menu system appears immediately after the routine Power-On-Self-Test (POST)
is completed. If it is the first power-on since the software was installed, a screen appears showing the software
version number and the issue number e.g. 2550 Iss 1.00.00. if this is not the case, the screen will be the last
visited menu location prior to powering off (or a power failure).
Press the MAIN MENU button once and page 1 of the top-level menu will appear (see Figure 7.1).
The menu system is a tree-like structure that repeatedly branches to lower levels until a final screen is reached.
Page 1 of a top-level menu shown in Figure 7.1. It comprises four menu choices – Flow rates, Flow totals, Density
and Viscosity.
Each menu choice has a description e.g. “Flow rates” and a triangular icon e.g. alongside to indicate the type of
menu choice. A non-filled, triangular icon ( ) indicates the menu choice leads to a lower-level menu (sub-menu).
A filled, triangular icon ( ) indicates the menu choice leads to a parameter screen.
Note: The menus may be different in your software.
