INSTRUMENT MODE Keys
The INSTRUMENT MODE keys select major instrument operational
and display modes. The display can show any one of seven different
panels, selectable by these keys.
RECALL/SAVE Key
The RECALL/SAVE key provides access to the Recall/Save panel,
which allows storage and recall of up to 30 different test configurations,
including test data. The Recall/Save panel looks like this:
Soft Keys
The six keys around the perimeter of the display are called the Soft
keys. The function of these keys depends on what panel is displayed.
Directly above or below the key will be a word indicating the function
of the key, or the current value of the controlled parameter.
The one exception is the Main panel. On the Main panel, the upper
Soft keys change the units of the reading directly below them.
The functions controlled by the Soft keys also may depend on other
factors, such as the measurement function currently selected. The
specific functions of the Soft keys are discussed in conjunction with
each panel.
LCD Display
This is where all readings, graphs, and operating parameters are
displayed. The panel also shows the current functions of the lower soft
keys. The display contrast is controlled by the CONTRAST control. If
no buttons are pressed for two hours, the screen saver will be invoked,
and the display will darken to preserve its useful lifetime. Pressing any
key will turn it on again (but will not execute that keys function).
