 THE DISPLAY & THE MENUS
The display allows menu selections to be viewed and chosen. These choices
instruct the spectrophotometer to perform specifi c 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 fi ve lines in the display. The top line in each menu is a title or pertinent
