Claim 11:
12. A method of setting a level meter,
the level meter comprising:
a plurality of light emission segments that are arranged in a predetermined array direction and that form an emission region by allowing at least one light emission segment to emit light;
a register portion in which an emission condition of the light emission segments is registered; and
a control portion that controls light emission of the light emission segment on a basis of registration contents of the register portion so that the emission region moves or spreads in a predetermined emission proceeding direction along the array direction in accordance with an increase or a decrease in numerical quantity to be expressed by the emission region;
the method comprising:
a first registration step in which a default emission condition concerning each of the light emission segments is registered in the register portion; and
a second registration step in which, when the emission region is formed by allowing at least two of the light emission segments consecutively arranged in the array direction to emit light, an emission-condition specified value that indicates a command to apply a predetermined specified emission condition without applying the default emission condition is registered in the register portion concerning a subsequent segment positioned on a more upstream side in the emission proceeding direction than a foremost segment positioned on a most downstream side in the emission proceeding direction in the at least two light emission segments forming the emission region.
