Understanding The Detector's Main Menu; Choosing A Language - Thermo Scientific APEX 100 User Manual

How to Use the Parameter Input Screens
Parameter input screens are used to set (or verify) a value for a particular function you
are interested in. The right-hand number in all input screens is marked above and below
with a small triangle—indicating that all the numbers in the screen can be changed using
the navigation buttons.
Sample Input Screen
• Use the up-navigation button to increase the number marked by triangles.
• Use the down-navigation button to decrease the number marked by triangles.
• Use the left-navigation button to move to the number to the left.
• Use the right-navigation button to move to the number to the right.

Understanding the Detector's Main Menu

In this section you are going to learn to navigate around some of the detector's menus
and input screens. More specifically, you are going to set up a number of global
parameters for the detector. Global parameters are ones you set at the start of a
project, because this type of parameter—once set—does not often need to be changed.
You are going to do the following.
• Choose the language shown in the display panel.
• Remove the bar-graph display (at the top of the Main Menu) and replace it with
the more informative Help Text display.
•
Set the appropriate units of measure (meters or feet), so the detector's menus
display the units you prefer to work with.

Choosing a Language

The default language for the display panel is English, but it can also display help text in
the following nine languages.
• French
•
German
• Italian
• Spanish
•
Dutch
• Chinese
•
Czech
• Russian
• Polish
If you want to use a language other than English, follow the instructions below.
