the device under test. The LED indicator next to the output connector
indicates the output state.
To switch the output on or off

or move the cursor to the ON/OFF parameter in the Output screen
and select the appropriate value by turning the knob.
Using the Special Function Keys
The instrument provides the following special function keys:

the default setting.
The SHIFT key provides fast access to additional functions.

the SHIFT key unlocks the front panel controls.
The HELP key provides access to the instruments on-line help or in
