System date and time
Options
D
and
S
respectively let you
DISPLAY
and
SET
the current date (format YY/MM/DD) and time (format
HH:MM:SS) on the system clock to the nearest second. If you set the clock, the new setting is saved immediately:
you do not have to type
E
to save the new setting, since it is not held in EEPROM. Be sure to use the “/” format
for dates, and “:” for time.
Internal Temperature Calibration
Option
T
lets you calibrate the internal
T
emperature. You will be prompted to enter the current ambient air
temperature -- measured with an accurate temperature probe placed near the WEATHERPAK electronics. If you
move the WEATHERPAK to the probe, rather than the probe to the WEATHERPAK, you must give the internal
thermistor time to equilibrate at the new temperature -- 15 minutes is usually adequate for this. The temperature
can be specified in units of
FAHRENHEIT
(example input:
72.5F
),
CENTIGRADE
(
23.2C
), or
KELVIN
(
295.6K
). If you recalibrate the thermistor, the new calibration is saved immediately to EEPROM: you do not
have to type
E
to save the new calibration.
Changes to the system clock and internal thermistor are
saved immediately -- without typing E
Other commands
Option
V
gives you the current software
VERSION
number.
Please note the software version before calling Coastal’s
customer service
Option
E
, as already described, saves changes to
EEPROM
.
Option
U
returns you to the
USER
Menu.
Option
Q
lets you
QUIT
directly from the current menu. Any changes made will remain in RAM, but will not be
saved to EEPROM. You can return to the previous configuration by powering down and then re-powering your
WEATHERPAK.
