Selecting Alarms. Press the ALRM key to open the alarm menu. Each configured channel can have two alarm limits assigned. An alarm is set when a reading is below or above an alarm limit. Configuration starts with an alarm limit selection, 1 or 2. Press CANCL to exit. [Figure 2-13]

Setting Mx+B Scaling. Press the Mx+B key to open the Mx+B menu. Up/down and left/right arrow keys select the digits for the first parameter

(M)(default +001.00). The effect of Mx+B scaling is to take a measurement (x) and modify it by multiplying the measurement with M and then adding an offset B (configured after M is set). For example, Mx+B=+1.5x+25 applied to a measurement of 20.000 would display 1.5(20.000) + 25 = 55.000. Press CANCL to exit. [Figure 2-14]

Selecting the Measurement Rate. Press the SHIFT key, release, then press the Right Arrow key to open the RATE menu. During the measurement portion of the scan interval, the measurement rate can be FASt (Fast) or SLO (Slow). The slow rate gives full 5-digit measurement resolution, while the fast rate gives only 4-digit resolution. The advantage of a fast measurement rate is more readings during continuous scanning or low scan intervals. Press CANCL to exit. [Figure 2-12]
