Channel 4
Use the channel-specific setup menus to
customize the measurement
parameter settings for each module connected to the meter. The type of
module will define which measurement parameters and settings are
available for the channel. Each channel setup menu icon shows the current
measurement mode (i.e. pH, ISE, Cond, RDO) for the module.
Instrument
Settings
Use the instrument settings setup menu to update meter settings for the
display, sound, date
and time, language, data transfer, stirrer speed and
channel assignment, screen saver and auto-shutoff feature.
Log View
Access the Log View menu to view, print or delete saved data in the data
log and view or print the ten most recent calibrations per parameter in the
calibration log.
Diagnostics
Access the Diagnostics menu
to initiate a meter reset, test electrode
stability, perform a meter self test or view meter and module serial numbers
and software revisions.
Channel 1-4 Setup Menus
Within the Channel 1, Channel 2, Channel 3 and Channel 4 setup menus are Method, Mode
and Temperature submenus, which can be used to customize measurement settings and
parameters for the selected channel. The number of channel-specific setup menus and the
options within each channel-specific setup menu will vary depending on the number and types
of modules that are connected to the meter.
·
Access the Method menu to load, copy, edit, create or delete methods.
·
Select the Mode menu to review and update the measurement mode and parameter
settings for the selected channel and module. Refer to the individual module chapters for
detailed information on the available settings for each measurement mode.
·
Use the Temperature menu to set the temperature units, set the temperature input source,
perform a temperature calibration on an ATC temperature probe, conductivity probe with
built-in temperature or dissolved oxygen probe with built-in temperature when connected to
the meter or to enter a manual temperature value. The settings shown below may be
different depending on the type and number of modules connected to the meter.

The RDO Electrode Information menu is displayed only

the RDO/DO module.
Note: If a new module is connected to the meter, return to the measurement mode, wait for the
Channel ID display to update with the new module and then access the Main Setup menu. This
ensures the channel-specific setup menu for the new module will be displayed corrected.

Meter Setup Menus
Method Menu
Up to ten channel-specific methods can be saved in the Method menu within the Channel 1,
Channel 2, Channel 3 and Channel 4 setup menus for fast and easy recollection of specific
measurement modes and channel-specific setup parameters.
The open method is updated whenever the measurement mode and channel setup parameters
are changed and is not password protected. Protected methods require a user name (up to nine
characters) and password (up to six characters) to be created.
When a
protected method is created, loaded and active in the measurement mode and a
calibration is performed, that calibration will be saved to the method so every time the method is
loaded, the corresponding calibration will also be loaded. This feature is helpful when using two
or more electrodes on one channel. For example, a pH electrode and an ion selective electrode
(ISE) used on the same VSTAR-ISE pH/ISE module or a low range conductivity probe and a
standard range conductivity probe used on the same VSTAR-CND conductivity module.

Load
Use the load function to activate a method for use in the measurement mode. If no protected
method has been created, the open method is active. Loading a blank method (date and time
shown as dashes on the method list) will activate the default measurement mode and channel
setup parameters for that channel. A password is not required to load a protected method.
Copy
Use the copy function to save the active measurement mode and channel setup parameters to
a new or different method. If the copy function is used to create a new protected method, a user
name and password must be created before the new protected method can be edited. If the
copy function is used to overwrite an existing protected method, the password for the existing
method must be entered before the action can be completed. Once a method is copied, it is
automatically loaded and activated for use in the measurement mode.
