Utility Menu - System Setup
System Setup configures user preferences, sets the date and time, and sets a power-on message.
User Settings
User Settings specifies user preferences that control how the user interacts with the instrument. These settings are
stored in non-volatile memory and can be saved in a preferences (.prf) file.
Help Language
Help Lang selects the help language for front-panel use: English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, or
Simplified Chinese. All messages, context-sensitive help, and help topics appear in the selected language. The softkey
labels are always in English.
Number Format
Number Format specifies how numbers are displayed on the front panel: 12,345.6 or 12.345,6. Other possibilities
also exist. For example, you can use the space as a separator.
Sounds
Disables or enables the click heard when a front-panel key or softkey is pressed.
Also enables or disables the audible tone associated with the following features:
l Limits – a measurement limit is exceeded (if limits are enabled)
l Probe Hold – the measured signal records a stable reading
l Diode – the forward bias voltage is between 0.3 and 0.8 V
l Continuity – a short is measured (less than or equal to 10 Ω)
l Error - an error is generated from the front panel or remote interface
This non-volatile setting appears in several different menus on the front panel, but turning the beeper on or off in one
menu affects all of the other menus.
