After turning the gauge on, you can set several parameters,
including:
• Measurement Count Time
• Background Count Time
• Measurement Units
• Automatic or Manual Depth Modes
• Moisture Input Method
• Measurement Order
• Date and Time
• User ID
These parameters do not usually change once they are set.
Additionally, the gauge offers a Status function that enables you
to view selected information about the current gauge status and
setup. To access this function, press the
〈STATUS〉 key.
The gauge displays two screens of information, including the
measurement units, count time, measurement mode, battery
status, Gmb (Marshall) value, Proctor value, Gmm (Voidless
density) value, and measurement depth. Use the arrow keys to
scroll between the two screens.
To begin, press the 〈SETUP〉 key. For information on all of the
functions available from the Setup menu, see
Chapter 5:
Setup Menu.

To change the count time, press 〈1〉 at the Setup menu. The
