6.1 Powering on the Super-Thermometer
CAUTION: Before powering the Super-Thermometer on, ensure that the line voltage selection is set
properly. Refer to Section 3.3, Line Voltage and Fuses, on page 15 for instructions.
Power the Super-Thermometer on by setting the power switch located on the back panel to the On position.
After power is on, pressing the Power Standby switch on the front panel puts the system into hibernation, leav-
ing key components such as the resistor oven powered on.
The rst time the unit is powered on, the User Settings screen will be displayed after startup. Later in the sec-
tion it will be explained how this feature is turned off so the Measurement screen is displayed when the unit is
powered on.
6.2 User Settings Screen
The User Settings screen allows the user to congure system settings such as language, temperature measure-
ment resolution, screen saver settings and alarms. As mentioned previously, the User Settings screen is the rst
displayed upon the rst power-up if the Start-Up Help setting is enabled. This setting can be turned off by the
user after the user settings have been congured.
The following elds are displayed in the User Settings screen:
LANGUAGE- sets the language in which the menus and screens are displayed. The options are ENGLISH,
CHINESE, JAPANESE,SPANISH, GERMAN, FRENCH, and RUSSIAN. ENGLISH is the default option.
DATE FORMAT- sets the format used to display dates on the screen. Available options are YYYY-MM-DD,
MM-DD-YYYY, and DD/MM/YYYY. The default option is YYYY-MM-DD. This setting has no effect on
communications commands and responses, recorded data, or library les.
DECIMAL FORMAT- sets the decimal character used in decimal numbers on the display. Available options
are period (.) and comma (,). The default option is (.). This setting has no effect on communications commands
and responses, recorded data, or library les.
TEMPERATURE RESOLUTION- sets the desired number of decimal places that appear in displayed tem-
perature measurements. Available options are 0.1 through 0.000001. The default option is 0.00001. The actual
number of decimal places of displayed temperatures may be reduced for large numbers. This setting has no
effect on communications commands and responses, recorded data, or library les. The resolution of displayed
resistances and resistance ratios is xed at the maximum practical resolution.
SCREEN SAVER ENABLE- enables or disables the screen saver. If Screen Saver Enable is OFF, the display
will remain on indenitely. Enabling the screen saver saves power and extends the lifetime of the display. The
default option is OFF.
SCREEN SAVER DELAY- sets the screen saver delay time. Available options are 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30
min, 45 min, 1 hr, and 2 hr. The default option is 1 hr.
DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS- sets the brightness of the display backlight. Available options are 50 %, 60 %,
70 %, 80 %, 90 %, and 100 %. The default option is 100 %. Reducing the display brightness saves power and
extends the lifetime of the display.
ITS-90 SUBRANGE ALERT- enables (ON) or disables (OFF) the warning message that appears at the bot-
tom of the Measurement Screen when a probe’s measured temperature exceeds its ITS-90 subrange by more
than 10°C. The default option is ON.
Rs DUE ALERT- enables (ON) or disables (OFF) the warning message that appears at the bottom of the Mea-
surement screen when the due date of a resistor in the Resistor Library has expired. The default option is OFF.
ALERT BEEP- enables (ON) or disables (OFF) the audio indication that accompanies warning messages.
The default option is ON.
