PART 3
OPERATION: Configuration Mode
3.1 Introduction
The instrument has two different modes of operation. The first, Run Mode, is
used to display values for the Process Variable, and to display or clear Peak
and Valley values. The other mode, Menu Configuration Mode, is used to
navigate through the menu options and configure the unit. Part 3 of this
manual will explain the Menu Configuration Mode. For your instrument to
operate properly, the user must first "program" or configure the menu options.
