10 The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
The LCD is the main user interface for the meter (Figure 10-1). Its purpose is to provide feedback
during installation, manufacture, calibration, diagnostics issues and simply for end user reference.
It has a central row of 7 ‘starburst’ type digits to display values/date/time/messages and 5 upper
left ‘starburst’ type digits to display a description/label.
The LCD has a number of fixed segments to indicate a range of functions. For low light conditions,
the LCD has a backlight, which comes on when a button is pressed, unless configured not to do so
at manufacture.
