Accessing Auto Note Select Mode
While the MAN MODE is indicated, the selection of note will not be affected by the incoming audio signal and must be
selected by pressing one of the note buttons below the strobe disc. This feature is useful when extraneous audio tones are
present in the environment (making automatic selection difficult) or when one purposely wishes to measure tuning of various
harmonics (partials) present in the audio input.
NOTE: The automatic note detection feature is based on reference tuning of A=440 Hz and Global Cent Offset (which
appears on the second line of the RUN screen) set to 0 cents. Any deviation from these tuning references will limit proper
note sensing to less than the usual ±50 cents range. For most applications, deviations in the range of A430 to A450 or,
separately, up to about ±40 cents Global Cent Offset will yield reasonable results for automatic note selection. Of course,
there are no limitations over the full range of offsets available in the tuner when using MANual note selection.

temperaments may be created, edited, activated, and stored or deleted from non-volatile memory in a separate branch under
this menu.
The SETUP menu is activated from the normal RUN screen by pressing the "1" button:
