5.2 Menu system
5.2.1 Variants of the menu system
The menu functions of the Analyzer modules and of the Gas module are available in two
variants:
● Menu system in the Basic Control Unit (BCU)
● Menu system in the PC software “SOPAS ET”
The PC software “SOPAS ET” has more as well as more complex menu functions than the
Basic Control Unit (BCU).
5.2.2 Menu tree
● Each internal module has its own menu branch. These menu branches can be viewed in
the top menu level. The control unit is also an independent module and has its own
menu branch.
● The I/O module is an exception: Its menu functions are in the menu branch of the con-
trol unit (menu branch “I/O”).
● Menu branch contents depend on the function of the respective module.
● There are also menu branches for general adaption of operation (language, display,
restart).
