2. Select the desired BRIGHTNESS percentage: 0%, 25 %, 50 %, 75 %, or 100 %.
3. Press [MEAS] to return to the measurement screen.
The Magna-Mike 8600 uses a transflective color display that reflects ambient light and
becomes brighter in direct light. With brighter ambient conditions, you can set the
display BRIGHTNESS to a lower percentage.
Reducing the display BRIGHTNESS percentage increases the battery life. Battery life
specifications are based on backlight BRIGHTNESS set to 50 %.
3.5 Adjusting the Display Update Rate
You can select a predefined measurement update rate (4 Hz, 8 Hz, 16 Hz, or 20 Hz).
The Magna-Mike 8600 makes measurement at 60 Hz, but will only update the display
at the update rate selected by the user. Note that when the Magna-Mike 8600 is in
MIN or MAX mode, the MIN and MAX values are captured at the 60 Hz
measurement rate.
To adjust the display update rate
1. In the measurement screen, press [SET UP], and then highlight
MEASUREMENT.
2. In the MEASUREMENT submenu, select the DISPLAY UPDATE RATE.
3. In the MEASUREMENT SETUP screen (see Figure 3-2 on page 53), set the
DISPLAY UPDATE RATE to the desired value: 4Hz, 8Hz, 16 Hz, or 20 Hz.
4. Press [MEAS] to return to the measurement screen.
