The User Program

On the PM880, users access and control the user program by
pressing the Menu key at the bottom of the keypad. This program
enables users to enter the necessary probe and calibration data,
set up the display, log data, and perform service functions. The
meter stores this data in battery-backed RAM.
The user program consists of five main menus:
•
SITE - allows users to store site data in files for current and
future access, as well as to set up soft keys and display views
(see Chapter 5).
•
PROGRAM - enables users to enter probe, calibration and
system data, as well as user functions (see Chapter 3).
•
METER - permits users to check and condition the battery,
select desired units, language and date/time displays, adjust
screen contrast and backlight, program user tables, enter
communication settings, and set up screen captures (see
Chapter 6).
•
LOGGING - allows users to set up and view logs, and to
handle log files (see Chapter 7).
•
SERVICE - enables users to view reports, test the screen and
keys, check MIS Probe setup, restore Factory Default settings,
change security settings, and update software (see Chapter 8).
In addition, pressing the [SEL] key in Operate Mode (rather than
in Menu Mode) allows users to access and change individual
views and measurements (Chapter 4). Pressing the [?] key opens
an on-line help menu for the various menus within the user
program (page 2-19).
