te stellen.

het ingeven van de overige door het drukken van RUN/STOP.
Wachtwoord
Indien vereist kan er een wachtwoord worden ingesteld. Dit wachtwoord is dan noodzakelijk voor het wijzigen
van de instellingen of de parameters van een procedure. Zonder het wachtwoord kan de gebruiker enkel een
experiment kiezen, starten of stoppen.
Na het kiezen van INSTELLEN, volg deze stappen om WACHTWOORD te kiezen en bevestig met
SET:
Er verschijnt de vraag om het wachtwoord te activeren. Kies JA om dit te activeren, kies NEE om het
wachtwoord uit te schakelen. Bevestig met SET.
Indien geactiveerd zal het toestel tweemaal dezelfde te gebruiken combinatie van vijf toetsaanslagen
vragen. Deze combinatie van 5 toetsaanslagen zijn dan benodigd om een instelling te wijzigen.
Indien het tweede wachtwoord niet overeenstemt wordt er een foutmelding gegenereerd. De
instelling van het wachtwoord blijft dan ongewijzigd zoals voor deze wijziging. Herbegin om het toch te
wijzigen.
