changed e.g. on to off or select or deselect, etc. A tick
box indicates this type of feature. A tick against a
menu item indicates the function is activated or selected.

cases toggles the status of a tick box off/on.

4.2.1 Simple and extended menus
The Elcometer 456
2
Basic Gauge has two menu
structures:
Extended menu off (simple menu mode): The gauge
is shipped from the Elcometer factory with EXTENDED
MENU turned off. In this simple menu mode the gauge
can be calibrated and used to take measurements. This
is the ideal setting for users who do not require access
to advanced features of the gauge.
Extended menu on (extended menu mode): Additional
items are automatically added to the MENU and the
STATS softkey is activated. These give access to more
advanced functions such as statistics, calibration
method, print/output, setup, etc.
