  • Page 15: Section 4 Configuration And Programming

    SECTION 4 CONFIGURATION AND PROGRAMMING Controls The UP Button moves up a level in the menu structure. Pressing and holding the UP Button navigates to the top level of any menu (oPER, PRoG, or INIt). This is a useful way of reorienting if you get lost in the menu structure.
  • Page 16: Menu Structure

    Menu Structure The menu structure of the Platinum Series Display Meter is divided into three main Level-1 Modes: Initialization (INIt), Programming (PRoG) and Operations (oPER). Initialization Mode: These settings are rarely changed after initial set up. They include transducer types, calibration, etc. These settings can be password protected.
  • Page 17: Selecting An Input

    Selecting an Input The Benchtop Meter features a User Programmable Universal Input. Select the input type using TABLE 10. Initialization Mode Menu, below. Refer to Section 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 for Input Wiring Diagrams. Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Notes INIT INPt...
