Step 1: Choosing the measurement values on the display

Step 1.1: Display View

The basic view on the display is scaled based on how many measurement values have been chosen to be viewed on the display. 1-4 measurement values can be shown simultaneously (see figure 1a). If five or more values are selected, the measurements are shown one by one and the view changes every 10 seconds. Individual measurements can be scrolled in the basic view with Increase and Decrease buttons. If the buttons are unused for 30 minutes, the basic view will reappear automatically.
