2.1 Menu Structure Overview
2.1.1 General description
The VeriDose V provides a comprehensive menu structure allowing immediate access to frequently used
functions. The five keys, located below the display, relate to the displayed functions in each of the respec-
tive columns for selection and control. These keys are referred to as "soft-keys" since their operation at
any given time depends on the menu being displayed. The three keys to the right of the display, up and
down arrows and enter key, control scrolling and entry operations. A group database containing up to 25
diode groups, with up to 5 diodes (channels) per group may be configured, labeled and calibrated by the
operator for subsequent measurements. The following section describes in detail the operation of the
menu functions. Menu items shown in italics throughout the manual indicate user-entered names.
2.1.2 Menu operation
The "main" menu screen is shown below (Measure Dose screen #1). The VeriDose V's mode of operation
is controlled from this mode select screen. There are 5 column control keys located directly below the
display. The first key on the left is the "mode" key. Pressing the mode key at any time returns to the mode
select screen and selects the mode column. The selected column is indicated by the presence of the
menu cursor (blinking reverse video) within the column. Pressing the mode key again will move the blink-
ing menu cursor up through the column of available modes: MEASURE, SELECT, SETUP and CAL
(calibrate). Pressing the up or down arrow keys moves the menu cursor up or down through the available
modes. As the cursor moves, all of the options available for that mode are displayed in the columns to the
right.
Pressing a soft-key to the right of the mode key moves the blinking menu cursor into the selected column.
Pressing the soft-key again will move the blinking menu cursor up through the column of available op-
tions. Pressing the up or down arrow keys moves the menu cursor up or down through the selected
column of available options. After options have been highlighted, the enter key may be pressed to start
the selected mode with the selected options. Pressing the mode key at any time returns to the mode
select screen.
Under various conditions message boxes will appear in the lower right corner of the display. These
messages provide special instructions and/or status information.
