Naming the Product

In the examples that follow, imagine you are a lead engineer in a dairy and are setting
up the APEX detector to make sure no metallic contaminants have dropped into the
dairy's products during the manufacturing process. Your first assignment is to test
packets of salted butter for the presence of metallic contaminants. The packets of salted
butter are rectangular in shape and are placed at regular intervals (with a space
between each packet) on a conveyor that takes them through the detector's search-
head for analysis. On the other side of the detector, contaminated packets are pushed
off the conveyor into a rejects bin by a mechanical arm—your reject device. A photo-
electric cell ("photo eye") attached to the detector monitor the flow of packets on the
conveyor. This is photo-eye number 1, which monitors the packets just before they
enter the detector's search head. (This is a fairly typical set-up for a conveyor
application.)
Follow the instructions below to give a name to the product (in our example, salted
butter) that you are testing.
1) Make sure the detector's Main Menu is displayed.
