The Display at a Glance
The display is divided into several areas. The channel and slot number is
always displayed on the right corner of the display. The main area,
which is in the center of the display, is primarily used to display channel
status (open or closed), information messages, menu items, prompt infor-
mation, error messages, and so on. Around the display are annunciators
to indicate various states of the instrument operation. The annunciators
are summarized below.
Other annunciators in the display are not used in the Agilent 3499A/B/C
system.
