Navigation Keys and Displays
After initially powering up the data logger a white initialization screen will appear first. Once
the startup process is complete the splash screen (shown below) will appear.
As described in the splash screen above...
After first time power-up, do the following:
1. Configure the data logger using Composer software (see:
Configuring Pluggable Flex Mod-

2. Using the
Menu button setup the Home screen (see:
).
3. If the above steps have already been completed simply push the
Done button to go to the
home screen.
The screen above will appear each time the data logger power is cycled. If it is desired that
the splash screen no longer appear, check the box "Don't show this again" (shown in red box
for emphasis only).
