Setup Panel
The Setup panel is available by several presses on the PANELS key. It
provides access to several parameters relating to the general operation
of the instrument. The Setup panel looks like this:
On the Setup panel are controls for the type of printer output, the date
and time, display inversion, and the step sizes used by the INC and
DEC keys.
The upper left soft key controls the print mode. The proper print mode
to select depends on the type of printer connected to the port. The
two options are PCL Graph and IBM Graph.
The upper center section of the display shows the real-time clock. The
date is shown on top, in the order year-month-day. The time is shown
on bottom, in 24-hour format as Hours:Minutes:Seconds.
To set the date or time, press the upper center soft key. The year will
be highlighted. The year can be changed using the FREQUENCY
controls. The INC and DEC keys will change the year in increments of
1 year. The x10 and ÷10 keys will change the year in increments of 10
years. The FREQUENCY knob may also be used.
When the year is set correctly, press the upper center soft key again.
The month will be highlighted, and can be set in a similar fashion. The
day, hour, minute, and second can be set with subsequent presses of
the soft key. The clock will restart as soon as the soft key is pressed
with the seconds highlighted.
The lower center soft key controls the display inversion. Inverting the
display causes the letters to appear white, with a blue background,
instead of blue against a white background.
