2.3.1 The Text Display Output
To collect data from the instrument and display it on a text screen, complete the following steps:
1. Complete Steps 1-3 on page 46.
2. Pull down the Output menu and click on the Text Display option (see Figure 2 on page 46).
Note: The Text Display window that appears after Step 2 is actually stacked on top of any previously opened
windows (such as the Meter Browser window).
3. Using the Window menu, arrange the open windows in the desired format. For this discussion, Figure 3 shows the
Text Display window in its maximized (full-screen) size.
Note: Figure 3 has been compressed both vertically and horizontally for improved clarity.
4. The left pane of the Text Display window contains the standard PanaView network tree. Expand this tree as far as
necessary, and double click on the desired process parameter to display it in the right pane of the window.
