Selecting Display Mode

You can select the display mode of the LCD display from two options: normal display (background: black) and inverted display (background: white). In normal display, the colors of items are preset so that you can recognize them easily on the display of the instrument. On the other hand, in inverted display, items are preset to colors obtained by almost completely inverting the default settings of the normal display; this mode allows
you to use data easily when storing it into a graphic file.

The selection procedure is as follows:

  1. Press Display key.

  2. Click Color Type. Normal indicates normal display and Invert indicates Invert display.

Setting Display Color for each item

You can set the display color to the normal display or to the inverted display separately for
each of the following items:

Set the color of each item by specifying the amounts of red (R), green (G), and blue (B)contained in the color. You can specify each level of R, G, and B in 256 steps (0 to 255). Therefore, 16.77 million colors in total are available by combining the color levels. The table below shows the R, G, and B values for the main colors as a reference.
