Buttons and Tools
Apply and OK Buttons
Changing parameters on a submenu screen involves selecting the proper screen from the scroll bar, selecting
information from dropdown menus or entering data in data elds, and saving the data using the “Apply” or
“OK” button. “Apply” allows the user to apply the changes without leaving the submenu screen. “OK” allows
the user to apply the changes and returns the user to the Main screen.
Refresh and Cancel Buttons
To update the display of settings on any submenu screen by forcing a reread of congured parameters, press
the “Refresh” button. The “Refresh” button clears any entry that has not been applied, therefore, pressing
“Refresh” is also a convenient way to erase an incorrect entry. A “Cancel” button allows the user to close out
of a submenu screen without saving new settings and returns the user to the Main screen.
Pencil Tool for Data Entry
The data-entry elds in the MC-III Main sub-menu screens are highly intuitive, and most can be completed
by clicking in the eld and entering new data, or selecting a checkbox. For data elds that require the user to
enter a value, such as a K-factor, and designate a decimal position, a pencil icon provides a link to a data-entry
window.
To enter a new value, click on the pencil icon (Figure 4.16). A new window will appear, allowing you to enter
a new value, and designate the appropriate decimal position using a slide bar. This method ensures that the
decimal point setting and data-entry resolution displayed in the software and on the instrument LCD correlate.
This tool is used to enter the calibration factor, ow rates for 4-20 mA output, and the scale factor for pulse
output.
