5 Menus and Screens

5.1 Introduction

This section provides detailed description of the Super-Thermometer menus and screens. The menus and
screens are designed to allow the user to quickly and easily set up the instrument for measurement while also
providing many conguration options. Note that some function keys are located in multiple locations in the
menu system for convenience.
Since the Super-Thermometer menu system is several layers deep, this section uses a location descriptor at the
introduction of menu function keys. This helps the user identify where the function key resides in the menu
system. Below is a location descriptor example.

5.2 Changing Settings

Most screens within the menu system contain conguration elds used for changing settings. Whenever a
conguration eld is changed the ENTER key must be pressed to save and apply the new value. To change a
setting, the eld must be highlighted. The highlight can be moved through the elds using the Up/Down arrow
keys.
Conguration elds that have selection options are changed by pressing the Left/Right arrow keys to the
desired setting and pressing ENTER.
Numeric type elds are used for setting numeric settings, which include probe coefcients, time, and date, for
example. Values are set using the digit keys. The left and right arrow keys move among the digits to change a
digit in the number. The sign key and EXP key are necessary for signed and exponential values. The DEL key
may be used to delete a digit in the number. ENTER must be pressed to save a new value.
Some conguration elds allow entry of alpha and numeric characters. For these elds, the Alpha-Numeric
Interface is used. It automatically opens by pressing the ENTER key when a text eld is highlighted.
