menus.

Main Menu
The main menu is the ‘home screen’ of the analyzer. This screen will appear before the beginning of an emissions inspection. The main menu lists 6 separate options and a shutdown button at the end of the
list. Inspectors will use the main menu to navigate the machine during the
inspection.

Vehicle Inspection Selection
The vehicle inspection selection contains 5 additional options and a return button at the bottom of the list. This selection will be used to carry out an emissions inspection.
This option is used to print an additional copy of a vehicle emissions inspection report.
The vehicle diagnostics selection is used for OBD diagnostics and certain emissions equipment testing, such as the gas cap.
The analyzer maintenance selection is used to ensure the analyzer is properly maintained and gives consistently accurate and precise readings.
The station manager selection contains administrative information such as vehicle inspection history. The station manager selection can also be used for network diagnostics and similar tasks by authorized persons. This selection also contains lockout settings.
The state audit selection allows officials from the State of Nevada to verify emissions testing equipment functionality. This selection allows the state to inspect analyzers and verify that the emissions station is following procedure and using working equipment. State audits are conducted on an unscheduled and random basis.
