Display of diagnostics values
You can access the diagnostics display from the automatic or manual mode by pressing all
three buttons simultaneously for at least two seconds.
The following table provides an overview of values that can be displayed. The third column
contains the German meaning and the corresponding English term used to derive the
abbreviation if it is not self-explanatory.
The diagnostics display has similar structure to that of the "Configuration" mode: The upper
line shown the value of the diagnostics variable and the lower line shows the number and the
abbreviation of the displayed variable.
Use the operating mode button to select the respective next diagnostics value. In order to
select the diagnostics values in the reverse order, keep the operating mode button pressed
and press the decrement button as well.
Specific values can be set to zero by pressing the increment button for at least five
seconds. This is mentioned in the last column of the table.
Some diagnostics value can be greater than 99999. In such a case, the display switches
over to the exponential view. Example: 1234567 is displayed as 1.23E6.
