(see Digital Benchtop Meter Installation Manual).

2. Switch the power ON.

3. The Digital Readout will run through a start-up

routine. If the readout has not been connected to the

probe before, you will see the following display:

Programs

There are 10 programs allowing you to store up to 10
presets and 10 sets of limits. These can be used with a
single probe (Linear Encoder or Digital Probe) or pair of
probes for A+B or A-B measurements.

Alternatively each program can have a different probe
(or probe pair) assigned to it, allowing up to 10 probes,
(or probe pairs), to be connected to the Digital Readout.
Each probe, (or probe pair), may have its own preset
and limits. The program selected determines which
probe has its reading displayed.

program

The and keys are used to
select the program. When the Digital Readout is
switched on it automatically goes into the standard
program for which there is no number displayed. The
other 9 programs are numbered 1 to 9.

When moving from the Operation mode to the Setup
mode and vice versa the Digital Readout reverts to the
standard program.

Some of the setup menus are only available in the
standard program, as the settings for these apply to the
whole instrument and are not specific to individual
programs.

For each program the resolution, direction and
reference menus apply to the probe that is being used.
If the same probe is used in more than one program
these parameters can be changed on any of the
programs which use this probe.

In addition to moving to the next or previous program,
the and keys behave like the

program

enter key, saving a number or setting after it has been
changed. This allows you to change a setting in one
program and move to the next with one key press.
