While in comm setup menu (display Conn, Baud, Slot
or Addr), it is possible to adjust the display brightness.
Hold down the Shift key and use ▲▼ keys to adjust.

Monitor state
When 6790 is succeeded to connect to a device, the
measurement results or other live values are shown
on the display. This is called monitoring.
You can use keys to:
▲▼ Changes target of monitoring (e.g. Input
or Output); select on list displayed and
push ➤.
➤Display diagnostic message (s) from the
device (e.g. WBk=sensor wire break).
If there is no messages, monitoring
continues.
★Disconnects from the device and returns
to the comm setup menu. Please do this
always before physically disconnecting
6790 from the target.

device. Here you can access calibration
and monitor menu. Please do not enter
main menu unless necessary.
Shift+▲ ▼ Adjusts number of decimals on the
display.
CONF-state
In Conf state the configuration menu of target device
is shown. You can select menu items with ▲▼ keys
and modify the selected item by pushing ➤key. When
the value is OK, push ★to get back to the menu. You
can select the next item and edit it and so on.
Some menu items are not settings but lead to a new
menu, called submenu. Menu is arranged
hierarchically to shorten up single menus. You can
back to the previous menu with ★key again. See the
target device manual; usually there is a menu map to
ease up navigation.
6790 has five digit/letter display. If the item name is
longer than fits in the display, the rest can be viewed
with Shift key.
When a menu item is selected (but not being edited),
you can issue Lock and Free commands for that item.
These are additional functions not normally needed.
The purpose of them is explained in the target device
documentation. Lock and Free are given by holding
down Shift and then using ➤or ★key, respectively.
When all is set up, it's time to exit configuration menu.
Exiting is done by ★key, of course. If the menu has
option to Save (write the settings made to the target
device non-volatile memory) or Undo (retrieve the
previous settings discarding those just done), these
options are shown and you must accept either using
➤key.
