5.1. PROGRAMMING AND STARTING A SEARCH
To program a search for a transient, enter the start date and time, the stop date and time, the number of transients to search for,
then the name of the search.
To change an item, move the yellow cursor to it using the  and  keys, then validate with the

key. Change the value using
the ,, and  keys, then validate again.
The name can be at most 8 characters long. Several searches can bear the same name. The available alphanumeric characters
are the uppercase letters from A to Z and the digits from 0 to 9. The last 5 names given (in the transient, trend, and alarm modes)
are kept in memory. When a name is entered, it may then be completed automatically.
Notes: The start date and time must be later than the current date and time.
The stop date and time must be later than the start date and time.
Once the programming is done, start the search by pressing the key. The icon of the status bar blinks to indicate that the
search has been started. The key replaces the key and can be used to stop the search before it is finished.
The message Detection on standby is displayed until the start time is reached. It is then replaced by the message Detection in
progress. When the stop time is reached, the Detection schedule screen returns with the key . It is then possible to program
another search.
During a search for transients, only the stop date field can be modified. It is automatically highlighted in yellow.
