Update - Using MB-1 with Analog Sensors

Quick Reference Guide - Menus

The reference guide below lists all of the MB-1 menus and indicates which menus have Display Screens and Setup Screens associated with them. It is recommended that you read the Programming MB-1 Overview first.

In the table below, if the Display Function column is set to YES, this indicates that you can read the parameters associated with that menu function in a read-only mode by pressing the Display button. For example, to view the Alarm Parameters, select the Alarm Menu on line 4 of the LCD and then press the DISP (Display) button.

If the Setup Function column is set to YES, this indicates that the associated menu has a Set-Up screen associated with it. For example, to perform a custom coupler calibration, select the Coupler Menu on line 4 of the LCD and then press the Set-Up button.
