4.3. USE OF THE 2032 FRONT PANEL CONTROLS IN ALPHA MODE
The Alpha mode of the 2032 allows the operator to enter user-defined text to the
Display as additional annotation, for example, indicating the date, time of day, mea-
surement location, measurement conditions, measurement object, transducers in use,
etc .. The text is read into either of two text-strings, each consisting of two lines of up
to 50 characters each.
In
order to read into the text-string, the 2032 must be switched to its Alpha mode using
the ALPHA pushkey, that is the ALPHA L.E.D. must be on. The read-in of text is then
as described in the following sections. On completion of the read-in of text to the text-
string, the 2032 can be returned to normal operation by pressing the ALPHA pushkey a
further time, that is such that the ALPHA L.E.D. is off. On return to normal operation of
the 2032, the user is free to choose which, if any, of the text strings is displayed.
