Page 11: Menu Windows Arrangement
TDS-100H Handhold Ultrasonic Flowmeter Ver.8.08 - 9 - There are three different types of menu windows: (1) Menu windows for number entering, like M11 for the entering of pipe outer diameter. (2) Menu windows for option selection/selecting options, like M14 for the selection of pipe materials. -
Page 12: Steps To Configure The Parameters
TDS-100H Handhold Ultrasonic Flowmeter Ver.8.08 - 10 - The major reason why the menu windows are arranged in this way is that the software programmer hopes that the menu window arrangement for this version has the most/high ???? compatibility with the previous versions of the flow meter software. This will make it easier for the former version users with this flow meter series. -
