box indicates this type of feature. A tick against a
menu item indicates the function is activated or selected.
SEL softkey selects the option displayed and in some
cases toggles the status of a tick box off/on.

required. The menus scroll up/down and a line across
the screen indicates the start and end of the menu.
BACK softkey returns the gauge to a previous screen.

and return to the reading screen.
4.2.1 Simple and extended menus
The Elcometer 456
structures:
Extended menu off (simple menu mode): The gauge
is shipped from the Elcometer factory with EXTENDED
MENU turned off. In this simple menu mode the gauge
can be calibrated and used to take measurements. This
is the ideal setting for users who do not require access
to advanced features of the gauge.
Extended menu on (extended menu mode): Additional
items are automatically added to the MENU and the
STATS softkey is activated. These give access to more
advanced functions such as statistics, calibration
method, print/output, setup, etc.
