3.5 Controls and status indicators
3.5.1 User interface
In normal operation the LMS1xx fully automatically without the intervention of an operator.
The interactive configuration is carried out using the provided SOPAS ET configuration 
software. The software used for this purpose runs on a PC that is connected to the LMS1xx 
via one of the interfaces.
Use the graphic scan view in SOPAS ET to verify the generated measured values and to 
verify the measurement area online. During this process, note that the field evaluation 
monitor cannot display the data in real-time and therefore does not display all measured 
values.
3.5.2 Status indicators
The LEDs and the 7segment display indicate the operational status of the LMS1xx.
