software menus and
windows. These instrument-specific software options (under the Config-
ure and Service menues) permit user control of important miniPV Series
operations.
Configure menu
The Configure menu provides the user with a powerful tool for descrip-
tion of miniPV Series instrument capabilities, and for customizing miniPV
Series test procedures. Once configuration settings have been determined
for optimum performance, the settings can be saved and restored using
the Save Instrument (Configure menu) and View Instrument (Main
menu) functions.
Initial factory configuration settings may be supplied on a configuration
floppy disk. Additional configurations can be created to enhance test
performance with different types of samples.
