lowing measuring units:

although it is not recommended by ANALYTICON. To adjust the sensitivity, enter MENU/
SETUP/STRIP/SENS submenu.
Pad measurement sensitivity can be set in two levels in both directions (+/-). The set val-
ues on the display are as follows:

This setup option effects only the printout and data transfer!

If the PADSEQ option is selected, you can restore either the default sequence or set up
your own sequence by selecting the SET option. Selecting SET you can choose pads in
a desired sequence of the printout lines. In the second row the line number is displayed
and the third line indicates the actual parameter name. Using the  control keys you can
perform changes. Pressing the NEXT option will display the next printout line. If you select
“End rep.” only the previously selected parameters will be printed out. When the last line
is reached, the program returns to PADSEQ submenu.

NOTE: You can not define empty printout lines or the same parameter twice or
more times.

4.5.1.3.  Clock and date settings

The built-in digital clock enables to store the date and time of the measurement. It is
working even if the reader is turned off or the power supply is not connected. The reader
supports different date and time formats.
