item. You read the menu path from left to right and MAIN MENU is implied in the path. For
example
MENU PATH=Station Setup/Measurements/M1/
tells you to select Station Setup from the MAIN MENU (main menu is implied) and then
Measurements (from the Station Setup menu) and then M1 (measurement 1).
Changing Values and Executing Functions
Functions are executed and fields are changed by means of the key and the arrow keys. The
following paragraphs illustrate how these keys are used to set the Station Name, Date, Time,
and Recording. Similar keystrokes are used to change any field in any menu tree.
Setting the Station Name
The Station Name is the top entry in the main menu displayed along with the date and time (e.g.
“Station RiverFork, 10/22/2010 14:23:04”. To change the Station Name, use the arrow keys to
navigate to the Station Name. Note that the hint “SET change name/time” will appear. Press
the key to start the change. A flashing cursor will appear at the first character of the Station
Name. To change the first character, press the up or down arrow keys. Each depression will
cause the displayed character to change. Numbers from 1 through 10 and letters from A
through Z are available. When you have the desired selection displayed, press the right
arrow key to move to the next character. Repeat this process until the Station Name is correct.
(You can move backwards in the ID by pressing the left arrow key.
Special Tip: to clear the entire ID all at once,
press the left arrow key until it reaches the
far left. With the next press the message “Clear
string?, SET=YES, CANCEL=NO” will be
displayed. Press SET will then clear the string
and CANCEL will leave it in tact.
When you have entered the Station Name you desire, press to make it permanent. The
flashing cursor will disappear and your selection will be saved. If you wish to cancel your change
of the Station Name, press instead of . This causes the 8310 to ignore your selection,
and restore the original value for the Station Name.
Setting the Date and Time
The Date and Time are located on the main menu along with the Station Name. To change the
Date and/or Time, navigate to the Station Name, Date/Time item and press SET. This first allows
you to set the ID. Press CANCEL (as you aren’t setting the ID at this time). The display will now
show the “Current Time” with the cursor flashing on the seconds. Use the up, down, right and
left arrow keys to set the desired date and time. Be sure to enter a time a few seconds ahead of
the exact time you have from some reference clock. Then wait for the exact time and press
complete the operation.
Setting Time is an important operation. Many data collection activities depend on the accurate
synchronization of times between numerous data collection devices.
