Using the DISPLAY Digits Keys
Overview of the DISPLAY Digits Keys
The DISPLAY Digits keys allow you to control the displayed digits only; these keys
do not change measurements. Each press of the Fewer Digits key blanks out a digit
with an underscore ( _ ), whereas each press of the More Digits key re-displays the
digit. A minimum of three digits is displayed, no matter how many times you press
the Fewer Digits key.
The More Digits key allows you to display the maximum number of digits for the
current arming setting. To get more digits displayed for a measurement, refer to the
sub-section titled “TIME Arming” (page 2-15) in this chapter for information on
using the Gate & ExtArm key to change the gate time/resolution. Also, refer to the
“Example Procedure for Changing the Number of Digits of Resolution Displayed for
More Precise Measurements” (page 2-19 in this chapter) for instructions on how to
change arming by selecting a number of digits.
Printed output is the same as the display.
NOTE The Display Digits keys operate for all measurements and statistics (means,
maximum, etc.) except for Voltage Peaks and standard deviation.
NOTE Each time the Counter’s measurement function (i.e., period, frequency etc.) or arming
is changed, the Counter’s display is reset to display all digits.
