Keypad/Display
The keypad of the 2000-Series data logger allows you to
scroll through all measured and calculated parameters
available on the LCD. It is necessary to use the keypad to
set the date and time for the data being stored in the long-
term memory. This is the only keypad function that is al-
so reflected in the data stored in the data logger. Other-
wise, the data logger only records the measurements from
the sensors. Parameters calculated and displayed on the
LCD by the firmware (such as Growing Degree Days) are
only retained in the Daily and Monthly Archives (see Ar-
chives, p. 16). The functions of each of the keypad but-
tons are described in the following pages.
Pressing the Display key once brings the LCD display to
life. The screen will initially display descriptive infor-
mation about the station. The screen then displays current
conditions. Current conditions are refreshed every 20 sec-
onds. Pressing the Display key a second time will deacti-
vate the display. The station continues to record data
when the display is not active. To conserve battery pow-
er, the display goes off after 2 minutes of inactivity.
