Press a DISPLAY SWITCH button on the front of the main body to select between the "microscope state" display and
the "FUNCTION button's function" display.
"Microscope state" display
Varies depending on connected motorized devices and
has nine patterns.
(See "Microscope state display" on the next page.)
"FUNCTION button's function" display:
As factory default, rotation of a condenser, excitation filter
wheel, and a barrier filter wheel is set as the FUNCTION
button's function, and thus the display will be as shown on
the right.
After a "LOAD MODE" function is set and registered with a
FUNCTION button, the registered mode name will be
displayed. Mode names, MD1 through MD6 are those set
as factory default. Up to four alphanumeric characters can
be used for the name and the name can be changed as
you wish. When the mode name has been changed, new
mode name is displayed.
(See "18.1 Mode Function" for the details on the mode.)
