in the following table.
Indicators Description of the Indicators
When the indicator for the Freq Ch 1 or Freq Ch 2 keys is
lit, it indicates that the Frequency function is enabled for the
corresponding input channel.
When the indicator for the Other Meas key is lit, it
simultaneously indicates that the key’s menu and its menu
item (for example, PERIOD 1) is enabled.
When these indicators are lit, the key’s “enable” menu item
(that is, Limit Modes/LIM TEST, Scale & Offset/MATH,
Stats/STATS, and Save & Print/PRINT) is enabled.
When this indicator is lit, it indicates that auto-triggering is
enabled.
When this indicator flashes, it indicates that the arrow keys
can be used to modify or enter data.
The Enter key is used to enter numeric values or
parameters. It can also be used to traverse through a menu.
Pressing the Enter key at the end or bottom of a menu will
cause the Counter to exit the menu and return to the
measurement mode.
When one of these indicators is lit, it indicates that the Run
or Single function is enabled.
