THE DISPLAY & THE MENUS
The display allows menu selections to be viewed and selected. These selections
instruct the SMART3 to perform specifi c tasks. The menus are viewed in the
display using two general formats that are followed from one menu to the next.
Each menu is a list of choices or selections.
The display has a header line at the top and a footer line at the bottom. The
header displays the title of the current menu. The footer line displays the time
and the date, the data logger status and the battery status. The menu selection
window is in the middle of the display between the header and the footer.
The menu selection window displays information in two general formats. In the
fi rst format only menu selections are displayed. Up to 4 lines of menu selections
may be displayed. If more selections are available they can be viewed by
pressing the arrow buttons
to scroll the other menu selections into
the menu selection window. Think of the menu selections as a vertical list in
the display that moves up or down each time an arrow button
is
pressed. Some menus in the SMART3 are looping menus. The top and bottom
menu choices are connected in a loop. Scrolling down past the bottom of the
menu will lead to the top of the menu. Scrolling up past the top of the menu will
lead to the bottom of the menu.

A black bar will indicate the menu choice. As the menu is scrolled through, the
black bar will highlight different menu choices. Pressing the
ENTER
button will
select the menu choice that is indicated by the black bar.
In the second format the menu choice window takes advantage of the graphical
capabilities of the display. Large format graphic information, such as test results
or error messages or the LaMotte logo is displayed. The top two lines of the
display are used to display information in a large, easy to read format. The
menus work in the same way as previously described but two lines of the menu
are visible at the bottom of the display.
