Tour of the interface

This section will explain the LI-8250 Multiplexer user interface in detail, beginning with a tour of the interface. This section will also cover configuring and starting a measurement, viewing your data, transferring your data, performing a leak test, and includes a data dictionary that describes the different LI-8250 Multiplexer variables.

The top of the interface presents a header with the top-level options. With narrow screens on like mobile devices, most items are consolidated into a single menu.
