Front Panel Display
The 34410A and 34411A multimeters feature a dual–line, alphanumeric
display, plus a set of text annunciators to indicate non–default operational
states.
Displayed Messages
During menu–driven operations (e.g. measurement configuration), the
primary display line indicates the configuration feature or menu, and the
second display line indicates the submenu, configuration choices or
parameters. The second display line also displays temporary messages,
when exiting menus or to convey meter state changes.
During measurement operations, the primary display line shows the
measurement reading and selected measurement function, and the second
display line can be enabled to display secondary measurements.

The 34410A and 34411A multimeters utilize context–sensitive, self–guiding
menus for you to configure measurement functions. The following general
