LCD DISPLAYS

Some Track-It data loggers are equipped with LCD displays. The display is
user programmable and can display real time information including time,
date, measured values with engineering units, battery level, alarm
conditions, etc. LED indicators on units with LCD displays are also user
programmable. See operation manual for full description and set up
instructions.

Up arrow = Hi alarm, Down arrow = Lo alarm. Blinks if any alarm is
current. On steady if any alarm has been detected but not current.

REC On steady = Triggered to record but not currently recording.
