THE DISPLAY & THE MENUS
The display allows menu selections to be viewed and chosen. These choices
instruct the spectrophotometer to perform specific tasks. The menus are viewed
in the display using a general format which is followed from one menu to the
next. Each menu is a list of choices or selections.
There are four lines in the display. The top line in each menu is a title or
pertinent instruction. The top line does not change unless a new menu is
selected. The second line is used in two ways. One way is to display additional
information if the top line is insufficient. For example, test results are displayed
on the second line. The second line is also used to display menu choices. The
third and fourth line are also used for menu choices.

Think of the menu choices as a vertical list in the display which moves up or
down each time an arrow button is pressed. This list or menu is viewed through
a window, the menu choice window, in the display. The menu choice window is
the lower 2 or 3 lines of the display. Pushing the arrow buttons brings another
portion of the menu into menu choice window. This is referred to as scrolling
through the menu.

An asterisk, “*”, will start in the far left position of the top line in the menu
choice window. As the menu is scrolled through, different choices appear next
to the “*”. The “*” in the display corresponds with the
ENTER/Q button.
Pushing the
ENTER/Q button selects the menu choice which is adjacent to the
“*” in the menu choice window.
As described previously, the EXIT button allows an exit or escape from the
current menu and a return to the previous menu. This allows a rapid exit from
an inner menu to the
MAIN MENU by repeatedly pushing the EXIT button.
Pushing OFF at any time will turn the spectrophotometer off.
