Setup Menus and Access Rights

menus that allow local accessing a limited number of meter
setups and control functions listed in the following table.
Access to particular menus is granted depending on the

Access to the RESET menu entries is allowed depending on
your security level as shown in Section Resetting
Accumulators and Log Files in Chapter 6.
If your security level does not allow access to a menu, it will
not be listed in the main menu list, and you will not be able
to highlight menu items that you are not allowed to change,
but you can still view their present settings.
Viewing and Changing Setup Options
Once you entered a correct password you are moved to the
main meter menu.
The main menu has two windows: the left window displays a
submenu list, while the right window is an assisting Exit
window that allows easy returning back to the data display. A
currently active menu item is highlighted by inversed color.
To select a desired menu entry from the menu list:
1. If the left window is not highlighted yet, highlight it by
briefly pressing the SELECT/ENTER button.
2. Use the SCROLL button to scroll through the menu list
until the desired menu entry appears.
3. Press the SELECT/ENTER button for more than 1
second to enter the selected submenu.
