 Micromanometer functions. It also includes step-by-step instructions for taking 
Sample readings.

The keypad lets you enter information, initiate functions, and change values stored in the 
micromanometer. It will be helpful before operating the micromanometer to understand more fully what 
each of the keys do.

(, or , are operational for any given operation. Use  and  to move through menus; use  and

ESC 
The ESCAPE key is used to cancel or end an operation or back up to the last screen of displayed

The ENTER key is used to accept the present value or move to the next level of a menu.  
 
READ 
If the display mode is set to SINGLE, pressing the READ key begins a reading, which stops 
automatically when the reading is done.  
If the display mode is set to RUNAVG, the micromanometer will measure continuously, and pressing 
READ will alternately pause or resume the measurement. (See Chapter 4
 on how to set the display mode 
to SINGLE or RUNAVG.) 
There is a red button on the capture hood base that has the same function as the READ key.  
Note:  Pressing the READ key will not store any measurement to memory. 
 
SAVE 
The SAVE key is used to save the currently displayed measurement to the data logging memory. 
 
NEXT TEST 
The NEXT TEST key is used to select a new unused Test Id for saving Samples when logging data. 
 
 
The PRINT key downloads data to an optional printer or to a computer. Refer to Chapter 4
 for 
information on downloading data. 
 
STATS 
The STATISTICS key lets you display COUNT, MINimum, MAXimum and AVeraGe for the Test ID 
currently selected for logging data.
