Real-Time Display
The real-time display shows the primary physical condition of the Explorer. It is designed to be visible from a distance. During a run, the same information is also visible on the blue display.
- The left (red) display shows CHAMBER TEMPERATURE in degrees Celsius
- The center (green) display indicates the ELAPSED RUN TIME (HH:MM)
- The right (orange) display indicates CHAMBER VACUUM (xx.x = Torr; xxx = mTorr). If a decimal point appears, the reading is in Torr (for example, "20.0" means 20 Torr) else, the display is showing mTorr (for example, "900" means 900 mTorr).
Multi-function Menu, PROGRAM, SETTINGS and MESSAGE Display
The four line blue display outputs a variety of text and numeric information depending upon the mode chosen and the particular parameters available for viewing. To simplify the display, many of the parameters have been abbreviated. The display legend below explains the information on the multi-function display
