Enter / Cursor Control

The cursor is the core control element of ML1, providing access to its

menus and to the current instrument settings. The cursor position is

represented by an inverted display (white on black) of the field holding

the cursor.

The cursor may be moved from menu to menu by using the four gray

arrow keys !, ", # and $. The enter key (↵) has to be pressed to enter

a submenu or to confirm the current selection.

To modify the menu status execute the following procedure:

• Move the cursor to the field of interest and press the enter key.

• Scroll to the required menu option by using the arrow keys.

• Confirm your selection by pressing the enter key.

Please note that in certain selection modes, the measurement result will

be updated with the new selection even before the enter key has been

pressed for confirmation.

For instance, if a new level unit is selected - but not yet confirmed - the

display will instantly update to the newly selected unit even before the

enter key has been pressed for confirmation.

In case of an unwanted change of any menu, the old status may be re-

established by pressing the ESC-key.

Display ModeDisplay Mode

Display Mode

Giving a better readability the display mode determines the rapidity of

following up input signal changes. The available modes are:

• SLOW 3 sec. averaging

• NRM 1 sec. averaging

• FAST no averaging

If averaging is active, measurements are smoothed in an exponential

way (exponential time constant) before being displayed.

Power ON/OFF - BacklightPower ON/OFF - Backlight

Power ON/OFF - Backlight

The yellow, oval-shaped key on the right hand side has the following

functions:

• Device on, press and hold it for at least one second to turn the

unit on.

• Backlight, press it shortly to activate the backlight.

• Device off, press and hold it for at least two second to turn the

unit off.

The Minilyzer will start up in the same mode (e.g. measurement function)

and with the same settings as it was switched off the last time. In case

the setup screen has been selected at switching off the unit, the previous

measurement function will be entered.

The backlight may be activated at any time, without affecting the settings

of the unit.

Please note that the ML1 has independent auto power off functions for

main power and the backlight. These may be adjusted separately (see

2.5.c Setup).

EscapeEscape

Escape

The yellow key on the left-hand side labeled ESC, activates the escape

(exit) function and may be selected at any time. Depending on the

instrument status, pressing the ESC-key performs the following functions:

• No menu is open, the cursor returns to its default position (top

left field).

• A selection menu is open, the menu gets closed, resetting the

unit to the status in which it was opened.

• In the SETUP mode, the executed changes are saved and the

previous measurement mode is recalled.

In other terms, by pressing the ESC-key maximum twice, the unit is reset

to the last active status and the cursor returns to its default position.
