Troubleshooting
Due to the many features and functions of the meter,
it's possible that the setup of the meter does not
agree with what an operator expects to see. If the
meter is not working as expected, refer to the
Diagnostics menu and consult the recommendations
described below.
Diagnostics Menu (diag)
The Diagnostics menu is located in the Advanced
Features menu, to access Diagnostics menu see
Advanced Features Menu on page 43.
This menu allows the user to test the functionality of
all the meter LEDs, check the meter's software and
version information, and erase the MeterView Pro
software installation files from the meter. Press the
Enter button to view the settings and the Menu button
to exit at any time.
