The System Parameters menus are used to define the Site ID Message, set the system
clock and calendar, set up log functions and calibrate temperature readings.
To access the System Parameters menu via the Text Interface, type /F and press
[Enter]. To access the System Parameters menu via the Web Browser Interface, place
the cursor over the "General Parameters" link, wait for the flyout menu to appear and
then click on the "System Parameters" link. The System Parameters Menus are used to
