Front/Rear Panel and LCD Display
Items Displayed on the LCD
V ¯  Indicates that, because you specified dc voltage bias (in constant 
voltage mode) with a setting that exceeds the defined voltage limit, the 
actual applied voltage differs from the intended setting. 
I ¯  Indicates that, because you specified dc current bias (in constant 
current mode) with a setting that exceeds the defined current limit, the 
actual applied current differs from the intended setting. 
(blank)   Indicates that dc bias conditions are not applied. 
Note that when dc bias conditions are applied, the “DC BIAS ON” indicator appears in the 
lower-right corner of the screen, regardless of which bias mode (DCB, VC, IC, V ¯, or I ¯) 
is selected. 
Adapter type
EX1   Indicates that the instrument is configured to use a 1-meter, 
four-terminal pair cable.
EX2   Indicates that the instrument is configured to use a 2-meter, 
four-terminal pair cable.
7mm   Indicates that the instrument is configured to use the Agilent 42942A 
Terminal Adapter (four-terminal pair to 7-mm conversion adapter).
PRB   Indicates that the instrument is configured to use the 42941A 
Impedance Probe. 
(blank)   Indicates that the instrument is configured to operate without an 
adapter.
